The Atari 2600.

An Atari 2600 main page.

Icon: Atari joystick

Page title: "Homestar Runner Game Pac"

Button Effects

Toons — The sky changes color. First it is blue, then orange, purple, red, lavender, and finally blue again.
Games — An airplane comes and drops a bomb.
Characters — Strong Bad jumps on screen. He disappears pixel-by-pixel when you remove the cursor from the button.
Downloads — Background is turned into a moving road from a racing game.
Store — Marzipan goes across the screen chasing a butterfly with a net.
E-mail — Strong Bad holding the Chalice from Adventure runs away from Yorgle the Atari Dragon while yelling, "Somebody get this freakin' duck away from me!"

Strong Bad's line is a reference to Homestar Runner's line from the first deleted scenes on In Search Of The Yello Dello DVD.
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.
The sound effects for the "Games" button is taken from the Atari 2600 game, Combat. 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 are shot. 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 from Strong Bad's Message Bored.
the sky and the different colours could be a reference to population:tire, because it would change whatever time you played it.
