Whoa, ColorClimax.com, what an intro these guys have! Hope you all have flash plug-in for this one. Color Climax is a Danish site and production studio that claims to be "the leading force in Pornography in Europe for over 23 years." And in fact, they have actually been producing porn out of their Denmark studios since 1967 and are one of Europe's most popular adult magazines. Bringing things to current day, they've scanned in quite a bit of their original 35mm images featuring a collection of content from their 9 studios: Color Climax, Blue Climax, School Girls, Anal Sex, Lesbian Love, Sex Bizarre, Transexual Climax, Climax Gold, and the Broadband Theater. You would think with all those years behind them and all those studios that they'd have an enormous amount of content. While not enormous, they do have around 15,000 images and close to 100 videos to be found here on this site. The theme is UK hardcore and the price is close to $30 bucks per month.
Your member’s area is broken into frames and the different studios can be browsed to your right as a list of image galleries appears to your left. A preview image pops up as your run your curser down the list. All of the image galleries here are actually told as stories with pictures intermittently placed throughout. This is an interesting idea and one that's sure to keep members busy, but it all just feels a tiny bit too fancy for an oldschool porn site. What isn't fancy, though, are the pictures. Most of the images you'll find here are around 600x900 pixels in size and offer a nice touch of quality, however, a few of the sets felt dated to me and a lot of them are. This might also have to do with the differences in geographical influence as well as the fact that these are actual print quality images which are manually scanned in. You will notice that sets normally have between 20 and 25 images, which isn't a whole lot, considering. Since this is content from a magazine, though, neither is very surprising. Really, though, a lot of this content reminds me of and actually is 70-80's porn, with full bush and all. The best thing about it, though, is that like the porn of that time, this site takes no time to get right into the good stuff. Most of the time you've already got someone cockfaced before you've even reached the 3rd picture in a set. This is hardcore UK porn featuring a ton of sex, cumshots, pissing, lesbians, school girls, transexuals, and more. They sure do get points for entertainment.
When you click on the link to Color Climax's Broadband Theater, you notice that there's a link to both their own "classics", as well as a collection of Hustler content. The "classics" are told to be "legendary movies from 'Candy Productions' that marked the infancy of Pornography in the early 70's and 80's". Ah ha! I thought so! Videos play embedded in your browser window using QuickTime and can either be streamed in small or large file formats. The quality of them is average to below with the picture size ranging from fairly small to larger than average depending on the size you choose. Like the images, these videos get straight to the point of importance, where to place the cock. The sex is just about as raw and uncut as you can get it, however, funky at the same time because of the differences in times. It's nice to see that some guys were already shaving their balls at that time, I wonder how long it took the chicks to follow suit. Unless you're foreign to the US or are fluent in many different languages, chances are you probably won't be able to understand what is being said in these videos. Overall they're worth a look and maybe even a jerk off session or two. The Hustler Movie Player plug-in should keep you otherwise happy.
More content can be found in Color Climax's Signature Series content, including photosets and a biographies of some of their most loved pornstars including Anna, Gigi, and John Holmes. If you check out the archives, photosets are now listed by year rather than which studio they belong to, enabling you to check out all of their rockstar 70's porn if you so desire, or swing on in to the 90's for a little bit more up to date pleasures. Either way, it's all there listed by decade. The Xposed section features weekly updates from guest photographers, and there's quite a cool search feature that lets you browse through the images by a number of different factors. The site is very well designed, though like I said earlier, a little fancy for old school porno but there's nothing wrong with that! I enjoyed my time here at Color Climax.com; I only wish the price wasn't as high as it is. $29.95 per month is quite a bit to pay for most porn let alone stuff that's now outdated, however timeless if you ask me.

Well, it's been almost a year and Color Climax is still updating porn from the 70's and 80's; imagine that! The amount of images is up to 16,000+, which doesn't feel like such a stretch from 15,000, but the amount of videos has more than doubled from 98 to 238+. Other than the increase in the amount of content, everything else looks much the same. With so many new videos being added it's quite a shame that they can't be downloaded, but at least it looks as though newly updated image content has increased in size quality. For all you old timers out there ;), Color Climax is still your best bet for some of that good ol' porn; before chicks were "too hot" to do hardcore and photo shoots were "posed"; what a time!
Score increased from 80.6 to 81.1.

Color Climax is your "blast from the past" hardcore Danish site now celebrating over 40 years as a "leading force in pornography" and the anniversary of their 10th year on the Web! Well now if that isn't fantastic! They've continued their hard work with daily updates to their site, although I don't see a bug jump in our number count? I do have to admit that the site is rather huge, though. It also looks like they've re-worked their member’s area a little bit and you can now download the image sets as zip files, and videos are now downloadable as well. Quality still doesn't appear to be their strong suit here, but if you're feeling a little nostalgic for good old fashion European hardcore, then Color Climax is a site worth checking out.
Score increased from 81.1 to 81.5.
