Turbografx reference in Homestar Runner!

I guess the caption says it all. I was watching the Teen Girl Squad cartoon
they had and Strongbad was complaining about Babbages not having Turbografx
games. Hehehe. It's a rarity for people to mention something classic like
that. Oh well.

You'll find a lot of such references in Homestar Runner. Strong Bad
himself is a classic character, from a very bad NES game called Tag Team
Pro Wrestling.

You may also wish to check out the following web comics:

Operation Tire has a C64 loading screen, and until Strong Bad got his
Lappy 486, the screen font was also a Commodore font. This font was
actually used in a lot of the other mini-games too.

The Stinkoman 20X6 game seems to be modeled on SNES titles. They also
have a QuickTime video of an early Homestar animation with Mario Paint.
