www.gustown.com
Relatively high-tech. For example, the opening page requires use of the Shockwave plug-in from Macromedia (www.macromedia.com), which lets you play animations and games right in the browser. The plug-in is, however, easy to install, and automatically finds your browser for quick setup. Here, you can create a face that animates itself. Quicke videos, and trivia games are also available. You can join the CyberBud club for free software and get access to special ShockWave games. The performance of the site is slow because of the time it takes to download shockwave games.
