REVIEW = 76 by slutty (92)

Pros:
*Great variety of content
*Attractive models of all ages, shapes, and sizes
*I believe all of their content is exlusive, although they have released some of it to dvd.
*Good classic videos and classic pictures. The quality wasn't great, but considering the era the content is from I found it pretty good (see below for tech. details)
*Decent download speeds
*Download managers work, although getting to the section to download a video scene can be a bit troublesome - see cons.
*Great for any fan of ladies with actual bush

Cons:
*Zips only downloadable if you are a "VIP" which requires a multiple month membership.
*Photo quality is typically pretty poor - 760x540 or so seems pretty typical.
*Video quality is mediocre and in .mov format (720x580 1700 kbps was the best I saw)
*Aweful, aweful navigation. Some of the worst I have seen. The "theatre" section is reminiscent of seventeenvideo's video section. One very small thumb on the right of a random scene in the video (not even always a good view of the model)
*They have an integrated movie player, so you have to load the scene in order to download it - similar to MrSkin, however no matter which browser I used I was unable to "seek" in the video. Maybe it is a Win 7 problem, dunno.
*They recycle content, as is mentioned in the comments section. I'm not sure how much of the "new" material is all that new. I sort of doubt any of it is. One of the videos I downloaded from that section is of a model that left the business in 2003.

Bottom Line:
*I know I have a lot of cons, but I think this site is actually pretty good. If you are a fan of Anna, Gigi, Vivian Schmitt or older "classic material" it might be worth joining for a month.
*It is unfortunate that you have to get a multi-month membership in order to download zips. And that navigation and video downloading is so painful. If you join, and want to get your money's worth, I would expect to spend a lot of time digging through the material. When I was looking for videos, I would play video games and look at the videos while waiting for the games to load, since I couldn't seek in the videos I had to wait sometimes a couple of minutes with the video running to find out who was in the scene.
*The site is mostly hardcore with some lesbian.
The best thing about the site, in my opinion, is the wide variety of content. They have content ranging from the old Amsterdam peep shows (1960s or 70s I think) all the way up to the 2000s.
*I must say some of the older material does make one a bit nervous about the models ages, even though the site says it is fully 2257 compliant, you sort of wonder how that can be proven for material produced in the 70s?

If they fixed some of the navagation problems, posted all their content instead of cylcing it, and got rid of the whole "VIP" membership thing I would probably give it a much higher score.

REVIEW = 89 by exotics4me (431)

Pros:
- Classic site that has more content than I imagined
- Newer content that helps those of us who weren't even born when some of this porn came out
- Site navigation is pretty straight-forward, continued in cons.
- Videos are very good quality 720 on high end
- No obsession with facials, which is a good thing for me. The site brings a different view to porn that is a breath of fresh air to current times formulaic approach.

Cons:
- As others have mentioned, the videos are in quicktime. Will explain more in BL
- I can't understand anything they are saying in the movies, but the language is probably better this way than with English voiceovers
- Some of the content is really seriously vintage stuff, not that it is a bad thing, but it is a harsh reminder at times of how far porn has come
- My download speeds are not good, only 700 kb/s on a 10M connection, about 300 kb/s lower than my average on other sites

Bottom Line:
One of the biggest selling points for me is that we don't have the typical porn of current times, where the man absolutely has to give the woman a facial. The sex in these videos comes across as less staged.

The photos aren't bad, though we aren't talking Met-Art level here. The photos are available in zips. The video part, the VLC media player plays these without having to load the resource hog quicktime player. I also can recommend Windows Media Classic to watch the QT videos on. Both of these are my preferred video players anyway, so it doesn't bother me to not have WMV files.

My only real complaint is that some of the content does go way back in time. The site really does separate "classic" from "vintage" with most classic porn these days being from the late 80s. Some of this looks to be from the early 70s, maybe earlier.

A comment on the language, not for sure what they are speaking, maybe German? Either way, if dialogue in your porn matters, make sure you can understand the language. Like the old saying goes, all women moan in the same language, and that is really all that matters to me.

Overall, I am happy with the site, and really don't have many real complaints about it. I would imagine someone really into vintage porn would love it even more. A better search engine really wouldn't help since I don't any of these models by name. DL speeds did bother me. Still I recommend it to those into older porn, and those just looking for something different.

REVIEW = 89 by Pornjackker (37)

Pros:
Great site for retro porn enthusiasts
Lots of Photo-sets and video shorts
Vanilla to very kinky fetishes explored
New Color Climax videos
Updates Daily
Video and Photo set zip Downloads
Good Customer Service
Online Store

Cons:
Video Downloads only in Quicktime Formats
Videos have no screen-shots to preview scenes
No English speaking videos
Bonus Hustler videos can only seen in feed format

Bottom Line:
Ive been a Color Climax subscriber before
and it's probably on of my top favorites.
The content is often playful funny and highly
creative. The glut of porn in today's world
leaves a lot to be desired. It rarely entertains
the way vintage material does for some reason.
Enjoy

REVIEW = 94 by jd1961 (95)

Pros:
- A Lot Of Material
- NO DRM Protection
- Legendary Color Climax Catalog Of Film
- CC Magazine Scans
- Good Download Speed
- Modern Material Along With The Vintage
- Zip Files

Cons:
- Only Quicktime Videos For Download
- No Hi-Res Photos
- Some Low-Res Videos
- No Tiny Tove Jenssen

Bottom Line:
For those that appreciate erotica and it's history, Color Climax is a must join. If you are prejudiced against the past, you won't like this site. Color Climax is the seminal Danish company that brought the world it's first legal pornography, Denmark being the first country that legalized porn. They were the kings of erotica in their day, and you can see why by viewing their wonderful film and photo archives. They do present more modern material here, but the highlight of the site are the old CC loops. In the old days, these were expensive to buy, and you can download them all here with no DRM hassle. They only come in Quicktime though (.mov and mp4) you'll need Qucktime7 to play the higher res (720x520) videos, or VLC player. Mac users won't mind, and I don't either because these films are priceless to the serious collector of erotica. No one made porn like the old CC. They have lower res (800px) scans of their old magazines, which include a whole section of Anushka Marek. Still stunning even without the hi-res,they are available in zips. Sad to say that it seems they have pulled all the legendary Tiny Tove material from the site, I can't find it. This is a great trip back to the land of Denmark when it led the way to freedom of sexual expression in the world. If you appreciate such sentiments, don't miss this site, because nowadays, porn has lost all it's charm IMO.

REVIEW = 90 by studslut (8)

Pros:
- THE SMUTTIEST OF RETRO PORN

Cons:
- QUITE A LOT OF UNATTRACTIVE DANES & SWEDES
- LUMPY BULGES GALORE!
- FUR PIE CENTRAL!
- INFREQUENTLY UPDATED

Bottom Line:
I've been subscribed to CC since before I was supposed to. It's really dirty stuff from the days of the 8mm stag reels.

Most of the features are from the early seventies, and showcase Nordic models doing things that would be considered taboo even today, so I can only imagine that back then it was a downright act of sadism on behalf of the producers.

I myself avoid watersport porn like I do girls on the rag, but because I'm a European 70's afficionado, I have to tolerate it here. And it's a part of almost every feature, too.

The girls are for the most part, ugly. Sorry, I'm not going to lie. None of them are on the level of say, an Uschi Digart so don't expect to see big-titted Swiss misses. Also the sex ranges from dull to terrible. The appeal for me here is the historical value of the CC brand. CC if you don't know were among the first major porn studios, covering everything from basic sex to barnyard beastialty, to something they'd probably not like to be remembered for, kiddie porn. That's right, CC built most of their company on exploiting very little girls in the very beginning of their run. Of course none of that is available on the site, but it's a part of their identity that will never be forgiven.

Like I said, if you like vintage flicks from the 70's, particularly those with greasy Europeans with incontinence problems, then this is the site for you. If this isn't your niche then I don't suggest that you peek here.
