Page title: "Many Green Lines!"
We see a green, polygon-Homestar and in the background an outline of a mountain range;
Homestar always speaks with a computerized voice like the ones speech engines produce.
- Toons - Colored lines move through the background similar to the classic arcade game Qix - or the Beziers screensaver in Windows; Computer beeping noises can be heard.
- Games - The ground begins to move, little pyramides appear like in the arcade game "Battlezone"; A kind of drummer tune can be heard.
- Characters - The background outline changes; It can be either one of three mountain sites or the silhouette of a futuristic town.
- Downloads - Homestar loses one of his polygons. Mouse again and he loses another. Mouse for a third time and he regrows them.
- Store - The green lines in the background disorder.
- Email - 'StrongBadZone'-Strong Bad appears, speaks "WELL, MY HEAD A SPLODE" and explodes.

It's possible the "drummer sound" is supposed to be walking. It sounds a lot like E.T.'s walking on the ATARI 2600 (I know, different system, but similar time period). --

When Homestar says "characters", his voice is normal. This is the only item on this menu where he uses his normal voice instead of the speech-synth voice. --

His voice is still synth-y on characters; it's just not as pronounced and probably harder to notice because of the other noise going on. --

Still sounds like his normal voice to me...might be playing at a lower sample rate but that's it --

What kind of sound system are you using? I'm on high-quality headphones...there is some synth-ness to it. Most notably in the "er" (as in "charactERs"). --

The
StrongBadZone Strong Bad is a bit different than the original game-
HomestarBall Z
The
StrongBadzone Strong Bad is the one on the box for
StrongBadZone. And characters sounds WAY different than normal. -

It may just be coincidence, but the "drummer sound" is exactly in tune with a part of the song 'I am the Walrus' from The Beatles' album 'Magical Mystery Tour.' I refer specifically to the section that lasts from about the 3:30 mark to the end. --
