Fun Facts

• When viewing the page as a ".swf", make the window so it's not full screen. Then make it less tall and more wide, and you'll see the mouse arrow and even Homestar's boots.
• Homestar doesn't actually say anything when you hover over the buttons on the page. Instead he makes beeps and bloops like a real Atari game.
• Strong Bad's line is a reference to Homestar Runner's line from one of the deleted scenes on In Search Of The Yello Dello DVD. or vice versa.
• When you scroll over "Downloads", Homestar makes the same sound that the Compy 386 does when you kill the Bad Graphics Ghost in the Strong Bad Email ghosts.
• This and Main Page 12 are the only pages that give no vocal or visual indication of what button you've scrolled over.
• The sound effects for the "Games" button is taken from the Atari 2600 game, Combat. Also, the sound effect that is made when you mouse-over "e-mail" is from the sounds that tanks and planes (in Combat) would make when they shoot.
• The sound effect when you mouse over the "Characters" button is from the Atari 2600 game, Pitfall! when Pitfall Harry would collect a gold bar, diamond ring, etc. The effect when Strong Bad disappears is from Pac Man for the Atari 2600.
• The scrolling road is like a daytime version of Nighttime Driving Type Game.
• Right click and then hit play to hear Strong Bad say "Somebody get this freakin' duck away from me" without him actually running across the screen.
• When viewing the page as a ".swf", you'll notice that you can see Strong Bad doing his little jumping thing left of the menu. However, he is cut off. It also looks like it's overlapping the "duck".
