History
The prior Videlectrix webpage, videlectrix.com, was launched in 2004; this site has not been updated since April 24, 2009.
A "Videlectrix" itch.io profile was registered October 24, 2021, with the creator page becoming active on October 29 with the release of Halloween Hide & Seek.
As of 2023, the homestarrunner.com/games URL (and therefore the "games" button on the Main Pages) redirects to this page, rather than the Scrolling Shooter Games Menu; the "games" option on the navbar still links to the Scrolling Shooter menu.
Home Page
Since the beginning of videogames, Videlectrix has been there forefronting the crap out of the competition with good graphics and half-decent progrumming. With classic hits like the Thy Dungeonman series, Trogdor!, Stinkoman 20X6, and Peasant's Quest, the 'Trix has firmly cemented itself in cement shoes and cast itself into the proverbial East River of videogaming.
