i like your site... this new page has a cool pic, but it's a bit too big. try and fit it into the screen? and also, this couldn't hurt: IMG "frontpic.jpg" border=0>

is this the new or the old?
I like the c64 graphics, but I feel it should be cleaner!

The opening page is awkward. the pic seems too big and the plain text doesnt fit well.
The main page the white looks good on that blue but the black is hard to read

It's fine Oddio. OK, it looks a bit sloppy in places and yes it's rrough to say the least, but it does the job.

I like the retro game look, but think maybe the whole site could reflect that, not just the menu and header, bring it all into the c64 look, take that side a bit further, would be my.. thoughts, on the matter.

Black text is too hard to read against the blue.
Other than that I like it.

Oh, one more thing: instead of using filtering when blowing up the images, why not turn off filtering so that it looks blocky rather than blurry? That would fit better with the retro games theme.

thanks for the suggestions. i'll do some work on it.
as for that opening image, that's just temporary because brinkster destroyed my default page when i upgraded. but i will change the text color soon.

sorry... i don't Like it...
it's just pLain htmL with an ugLy format...
i mean, font face is disgusting...
and on the initiaL page, type this on the img tag... border="0", so you can get rid of that ugLy bLue border around the image....
i mean, i've made websites, i know what i Like, and i don't Like what i see...
dude, if you want some heLp, i've coded so many htmL's, so trust me on this one...
and about that Nintendo font...
maybe this is the one

I don't know about what you've already got, but some sites that are fabulous for different reasons are magicwindow.co.uk, and Richard Devine's site.

i guess the "Times New Roman" font on aLL of your content has to be changed...
since that font face is the defauLt in microft office, when i Look at it, it seems Like the person who wrote that text didn't care to format the text, that he/she just typed it and posted it...
verdana is a good choice...

If you're going to use dodgy fonts, just do the paragraphs as graphics. If they're too big, then cut down onb what you're saying.

Just please don't use serif fonts in the body text - arial or verdana will work better. The times is totally screwing up your retro computer video game look.
