## Overview

90s/Y2K retro video game style landing page. Ideal for games indie, projetos nostálgicos, marketing y2k, streaming, comunidades gamer. AI-ready template. The 90s video game aesthetic wasn't designed to be nostalgic — it was the bleeding edge. When Sega and Nintendo were locked in their console war, every pixel was a deliberate choice made under brutal technical constraints. The SNES could push 256 colors on screen from a palette of 32,768. The Genesis had a smaller palette but faster processing. These limitations forced artists to become masters of suggestion — a four-frame walk cycle that somehow conveyed personality, backgrounds built from repeating 8x8 tiles that still felt like living worlds.

What we now call '16-bit style' was really a collision of Japanese illustration traditions, American comic book energy, and the raw problem-solving of artists working within 64KB of VRAM. The typography was chunky and unapologetic — built for CRT scanlines and living room distances. Color palettes ran hot: saturated blues, electric greens, that specific shade of purple that only existed in Sonic box art.

The Y2K crossover period (roughly 1996-2001) added a layer of early 3D experimentation, metallic gradients, and that unmistakable 'future that never happened' optimism. This era's design language sits at the intersection of pixel craft and the first wave of digital maximalism.

- **Hover states:** Scale(1.03) + shadow lift over 200ms.
- **Page transitions:** Fade + slide (300ms).
- **Performance:** Only transform and opacity animated. No layout-triggering properties.


## Shapes

Base corner radius: 8px. See rounded tokens in front matter for the full scale.


## Components

- No pure white (#FFFFFF) backgrounds — use off-white or dark surfaces
- No oversaturated accent colors (saturation cap: 80%)
- No 3-column equal-width feature layouts — use zig-zag or asymmetric grid
- No `h-screen` — use `min-h-[100dvh]`
- No AI copywriting clichés: "Elevate", "Seamless", "Unleash", "Next-Gen"
- No broken external image links — use picsum.photos or inline SVG
- No generic lorem ipsum in demos

- Do Pixel art style elements
- Do Neon/bubblegum color palette
- Do Chunky bold typography
- Do Scanline or CRT overlay effect

## Implementation Checklist

- ☐ Pixel art style elements
- ☐ Neon/bubblegum color palette
- ☐ Chunky bold typography
- ☐ Scanline or CRT overlay effect
- ☐ Retro gradient backgrounds
- ☐ Arcade-style interactive elements

## Execution Rules

1. Strictly follow the defined visual style.
2. Use high-quality inline SVG icons (Heroicons or Lucide style) — NEVER use emojis as icons.
3. Add `cursor-pointer` and smooth `hover` states (transition-all) on all interactive elements.
4. Required Page Structure:
   - Navbar (Logo + Links + CTA)
   - Hero Section (Impactful Headline + Subtitle + 2 buttons + 3D/Abstract visual element via CSS)
   - Features (3 cards with icons)
   - Testimonials (3 cards)
   - Pricing (3 tiers, highlight the middle one)
   - Final CTA
   - Full Footer with social links, privacy policy, terms of use, contact and SEO links.
5. All text content must be in English.
6. The visual must be CLEARLY distinct — do not create a "default Bootstrap" design. Force the use of the provided design system variables.
7. Use `<style>` tags in the head for custom classes (especially for complex backdrop-filter effects and animations) that Tailwind CDN doesn't cover.
8. Full Responsiveness: Layout must adapt perfectly to Mobile, Tablet and Desktop (vertical stack on mobile).
9. Include basic SEO, Viewport and Open Graph meta tags in `<head>`.
10. Footer must contain: Copyright 2026, Secondary navigation links and Social media icons.
11. Make the creative decisions needed to deliver the complete, functional result now.
