I wonder if these really existed at the time or they are fan made?

Usually pretty immune to nostalgia. That store page though, that one hurts

The Napster parody has to be my favorite.

I definitely remember downloading SFX from that one. Still have some of them as ring/text/alarm times on my phone. "Ee-mail!"

The first three definitely did. I bought a Strong Bad shirt and CD from that store back in 2005 or so.

Don't recall ever seeing the last one though.

The store page looks legit. I still have all the figurines (plus the cheat commandos) and we had a trogdor and strong bad hoodie (though ours had zippers). I also still have a grey strong bad messenger bag.

Never saw the homestar donkey kong. Somebody get this freakin duck away from me (yes I'm aware it's the dragon from adventure on the atari).

The first one is a screensaver which you can still download, but may not work on modern systems (do people even use screensavers any more?).

The original T-shirts were the best with the homestarrunner.com on the back. Mine are so faded. But so many memories of people yelling HR stuff at me.

First 3 are definitely real, the screensaver is official and i have it, homester is also official (it was the old downloads page) and the merch is also official
