Jackpot! Cha-ching!
That site triggered my memory!
I remember downloading a program from some obscure site which was suppose to
be able to view a huge amount of files which are most often used in games. I
wanted to see the art :)
Anyhoo, it reminded me of another site which is linked on that website,
which is:

Oooo I'm soo happy...toys toys toys! So many wonderful bits and bytes to
play with now...
