Website design & development is usually a forward-thinking craft, but this one had me rewinding three decades!
For SEGA and Supercell, I took a trip down memory lane, channelling my inner 90s child to create the online companion to a one-off retro-style magazine made by the original Mean Machines team, to promote Supercell’s Squad Busters smartphone game and its Sonic the hedgehog crossover.
The brief was simple: Capture the spirit of 90s gaming mags — loud, cluttered layouts, bold typography, clashing colours — with one guiding word: nostalgia.
The result? A digital homage that feels like flicking through a 1993 issue, reimagined for today's screens.
Complete with a few 90s Easter eggs:
☎️ Dial-up modem sound
💾 Random “Blue Screen of Death”
✨ Cursor trail
🎵 Winamp-style music player
📝 Classic guestbook
🔢 Page-view counter
