Inside References

• This Main Page is based on the Strong Bad Email "video games," specifically the part making fun of '80s vector-graphics arcade games.
• Vector Strong Bad's line "WELL, MY HEAD A SPLODE" is another reference to "video games".
• The polygons that fall off Homestar may refer to In Search Of The Yello Dello, when Homestar mentions "pieces of you are falling off in squares."
• The music played on the Games mouseover is a clip from the StrongBadZone Music, which can be found on the Videlectrix site.

Real-World References

• The little pyramids from the Games scroll effect and the outline backgrounds are similar to the ones in the arcade game "Battlezone" and the game "Turok Two: Seeds of evil".
