    Hello everyone, please review my arcade website: http://www.ultima-arcade.com
    I deleted the games that were on there and starting fresh. Right now I have about 42 games and looking to add more in the next couple of weeks.
    If you got any suggestions or anything please tell me.
    Also feel free to link exchange with my site :)

    Thanks:D

    Bright colors! IT definitely looks like an arcade site. My suggestion is to change your link colors (that's on the header) to white so it's more legible. It's kind of hard to read at the moment. OR you can make the outer glow effect brighter.

    First page left column is much longer as whole page content and it looks messy for me. I would move something from left column to the middle or add more content.

    The color scheme is very arcade like. So that works for the site.But I'm not too crazy about red.
    The looks like Mozzilla Dragon which may have some copyright issues if it takes off.

    The site looks OK, but then I have seen better, but then I could say that about every site that I see as there is always a better. Anyway, it looks fine to me and keep up the hard work.

    Yep, the Mozilla Dragon doesn't look too well for that type of site. Your Adsense blends in well, as for the overall color scheme, the red is ok, but lighten up the gray a bit.

    I am trying to use a different color than the gray but don't know what other color to replace it with that would blend in with the red...any ideas?

    i think you need some more images at the top when you first hit the site. The red is alittle dull on the eyes and some of the images could be larger .

    an example of somethin to shoot for: http://www.freeonlinegames.com/

    hey, i play video games everyday, so heres what i think. I came into the site and actually laughed, the images you do have there are all nostalgic. I feel that you would easily attract the average gamer that actually knows what they talk about when they talk about games, however I don't think it might be enough for like the not so average gamer. i think the color scheme does work, but it just needs a few minor changes. so like its on the verge, just needs a little more push^^
