Retro fridays and the kb toys website from 1997

This picture is from literally a simpler time especially for web site. Take a long look at all the links and the layout. It's quick and easy right? did you notice anything missing? like say being able to purchase anything from the website. Amazon pioneered the e-commerce part of websites but until then, a lot of websites looked like kbtoys.com(that doesn't exist anymore)

You had a white(it loaded faster) home page with a few featured products and some links that were usually more information and the one I miss the most, the guestbook. I'm not sure what exactly it was since I never clicked on it but it has vanished from most websites as a relic of a bygone internet era. Sites couldn't be loaded with content as the internet speed was a lot slower back then(something I don't miss) among with slower computers

There isn't much to say about kbtoys.com other then that it makes you want to go to the physical store and spend hours there
