given that the metaphorical inside of a computer is usually imagined to look... well, computer-y, i think 1980's CG is spot on.

i remember mom telling me as a kid (~2004) "now don't judge the CG too harshly, it's very old" and i was like "are you kidding? this looks AWESOME!"

    The impressive thing is they did all those visuals without a gui. They had to calculate and hand code every element and wouldn't know if it worked until the film was developed.

    Edit: they also weren't eligible for best visual effects because they "cheated" by using computers.
