Cool site.  Several things to consider...

-The links in blue text are hard to read on black background.

-On the Construction page, you may want to create more paragraphs and space it out slightly.  It would probably be easier to read for some people.

The Intellivision picture rocks!  But I may be biased.  ;D

Its a pretty good website.

Looks good. But a cool effect if you can manage it: make the buttons depress when clicked, instead of just a standard hyperlink.

Also, I second Hoopz comment about the blue text on black.

Couple of notes:

-Ditto on Blue over Black
-It's confusing have two ways to browse the site. i.e. the bar up top and the ones on the side.  Currently, I prefer the ones up top.
-The bar up top.  When you mouse over it, is it suppose to do something.  Looks like you are doing something but it's just static.
-I like the row of cabinet pitures up top, but the oldskool.com looks out of place and distracts from it.

I tried that But because of the size of the buttons it wasn't too noticeable

I'll mess around with that static effect and do something different


thanks everyone keep them coming.

If you need a very simple script to get your contact page working, let me know. I can do them in my sleep, and have a few premade scripts with minimal BS required to set up.

And to reduce load times.... graphics like gameroommain.jpe should be created at-size rather than scaled down. It'll save some K and rendering time.

thanks for the offer mahuti, but since it actually isn't going to be a live website getting the contact page working isn't required for the class.


also thanks for the heads up on the gameroommain.jpe I must have missed that one when I was resampling images. I'll have that fixed and uploaded in the morning.

I will also use white insted of blue for the links.

Didn't get that it was for a "CLASS"

A design class? Or something more casual?

The Push To Reject button doesn't seem to be working.  ???



 ;D




Not bad. I think it would be nicer if the index page were centered though.

I didn't go through each link.  I'm not sure how deep in your assignment covers (top page only?)

But my comments would be this. 

1) each page have a very different look/feel.  Ignore this if you only designed the first page for your class.

2) the joystick is at a different angle then the buttons.

and what others said (button presses should be shown, coin button should do something, maybe even play a sound of a coin drop.

And if you want, you could have the icons/images link to online versions of each game maybe?  but that might be too much.

But I like the overall look / feel.   I think it might be a bit busy on the page.  But I don't like pages with ever inch filled.  The Click on buttons... I think should be removed.  Might be bad for a class though... but who whouldn't know and why would that be the second largest font?  But I can see teachers pushing instructions.

Anyway, good luck
