Ok, holy crap, I love this!
I love game educational stuff like this, wish there were more devs out there who made museums like this. It's awesome that you walked through your process of getting the models and what not. You were even kind enough to tell some tips on how stuff were made back in the day, like the shimmer effect was just a duplicated render model.
HYDRO THUNDER! Nearly screamed with joy once i saw those models, not gonna lie, XD
Over all, nicely done, thanks for making this!
