      Also I got bored so I created a theme for the Philips CD-i:

        I'm blown away by the creativity here. Especially with @Zenjiro and @holy2tack so recently. If I could be so bold as to request more system art, I'm putting together a holiday gift for my nephews and I really want a couple more systems to put it over the top! :)

        RPGs
        (Inspiration: FF, Chrono, Secret of Mana, Zelda, Phantasy Star, etc)

        Platformers
        (Inspiration: Donkey Kong Country, Super Mario World, Sonic, etc)

        Castlevania
        (so many good ones!)

        Shooters
        (Inspiration: Goldeneye, Perfect dark, quake, doom, turok)

        Hope you are all doing well!

          @evanmoran Most of what you listed is already available in my fork.

          I can make a FPS (First-Person-Shooter) one for you.

            @zenjiro Oh awesome. What's the github link? I'm having trouble following 1100+ pages of comments :)

                @zenjiro Thank you for this! I've made a few UI tweaks that I'll share as a pull request to give back. Feel free to not include them if you don't think they are universally helpful :)

                    Added the Russian NES variant Dendy.

                      Created a theme for First-Person Shooters:
                      system.png
                      comic_rip.png
                      comic.png

                      Needs a banner logo, and I might redo the system image. Feels like it clashes to much.
                      Edit: @evanmoran This was the shooter one you were looking for.

                        hi Zenjiro.

                        Any chance you could make a theme for the Sega Model3? aka supermodel3

                          @shaggy1 Sure, it's been on my to-do list for awhile.

                                As somebody who grew up in the East, I'm proud of your resolve to conserve our proud bootleg past.

                                I didn't even know what Nintendo was until I was 15 (all I knew was Super Mario, and that's it).

                                All that's missing is putting one of these in the image:

                                    @h2805270 I'm glad you like it. I never knew of the Dendy console until I watched a small documentary made by "Did You Know Gaming - Region Locked"

                                    I also found out that the emulator Mesen has an option to target and emulate the Dendy hardware:
                                    9c90ce57-4e56-44c9-974f-018a1bbcb1bb-image.png

                                    Retroachievements even has some of the games listed with achievements: https://retroachievements.org/game/2225

                                    Typically for each of these themes I try to keep each panel to iconic games for that system or series. I was thinking about adding an image of one of the multi-game cartridges, but I figured I should just find games that make the system standout and shine.

                                    Edit Feb 27th: DYKG just released this video which also seems appropriate

                                        Here's an idea while I'm feeling creative

                                        Where is Dendy today?

                                        After Steepler fell apart in 1996, he ended up like most 90's kids from commie countries did.

                                        The parents spoiled him relentlessly, he grew up a complete ill-tempered bully. After losing his college scholarship after getting arrested for taking drugs, he decides to slowly improve his life after fathering a child to the one woman that tried to fix him (it was all for naught).

                                        One messy divorce, years of complaints, a lot of disownments and a financial crisis later, he's now working as a private contractor in construction, drinking himself to sleep with Non-Alcoholic Beer, puffing synthetic Mary with his so-called friends, listening to Viktor Tsoi in his BMW on lonely nights, and wondering where it all went wrong after Steepler...
