Wow, weird selective memory i have there.

It's certainly a large undertaking and you've done a great job of organizing it all. I know I'll be spending much more time browsing the timeline in the near future. That’s great to hear, mga!

The purpose of the project is to give you a "bird's-eye view" of events relevant to the history of videogames and the relation between them. Eye-candy/coolness is not a goal (although I think it is cool... "coolness" is a matter of personal point of view). However, I really want to have alternative ways of exploring that data (getting the timeline to the point where it is right now has been some task by itself) and any input is appreciated. I will be working on it. Hi

I agree though, some extra zazz would liven it up. As it's still designated as being beta, maybe there's more to come?

Interesting concept, boring execution. I was expecting the site to be cooler than it was. Interesting concept, boring execution.
