      @rookervik I find the process of drawing far more fascinating than the end result. Could watch you art all day.

          Double Dragon 3 for NES. I'll edit the video later on and upload it. As usual, the Japanese reads: "レトロパイ" or "RE TO RO PA I" in romaji.

              Alright, took hours but I finished Breath of Fire II. This one was one of the hardest to complete.

                      Hey @Rookervik great job! What about some Amiga inspired splash screens like Turrican II

                      alt text

                      Lotus Esprit

                      alt text

                      Flashback

                      alt text

                      and somehow I couldn't shake the idea of a "RETRO - Emulation Unknown" screen :)

                        @andershp Amiga needs some splash screen love. I tried to do some Savage splash but there isn't really a title screen for Savage. Haha. I'll try out Turrican and see if I can handle the fire.

                          @andershp Turrican 2 made me cry. I might try it later again. For now, the easy one.

                          Bottom text looks a little wonky. CHALLENGE takes way more space than PIE lol. Could have cleaned the "O" up, some, but hey... this took me like 15 minutes :D

                              @lilbud Eh, not really. The font is the hard part. I'll have to design it from scratch. The explosions in the back aren't too hard to fix up.

                                      @rookervik Oh my gosh, I LOVE the SNES link to the past intro video! It's the only one I use, I love it so much! Any hope you still make these though? Any hope for an animated Illusion of Gaia? (Heck I'd like an image one too) My favorite game ever.

                                        @Rookervik Yeah looks like all your dropbox downloads are showing 404 errors. Any chance theres a more up-to-date place?

                                            @Rookervik Can you convert this into an img file? I would love to use this as my PSVita boot but the splash screen manager for VITA needs files to be in img format. Not sure if it can be done or changed to a 960x544 resolution? I'd be willing to PayPal you a few $$ for your time. thx
