@jamrom2

Cool !
We should use it.

I will have a look.

@folly
I'll do monday

Folly

@dteam

That's fine.

I tested both and I think the black one suits the best.

@folly
if you have a suggestion for the mascot, I'm interested 😄.

jamrom2

@dteam Probably Munchman. Seems to be the most recognizable.

Folly

@dteam

I liked Popeye and it's a synonym for the first powerful 16 bit CPU (TMS9900) :

Perhaps we can use that one.

Munchman

This one?

jamrom2

@dteam yes. That's it. Parsec, Munchman and Alpine were key games with some sort of main "character" as the focal point. Parsec being the ship.

Not sure Popeye would be good because it's more of a Parker Brothers or old cartoon character and not really related to specifically the TI computer line.

Folly

@jamrom2 @DTEAM

That's Ok, lets do Munchman.

jamrom2

@folly Spounds good... I would suggest adding in some of the trail behind him as well because the game is opposite of Pac-Man, you don't eat dots, you lay a trail behind you.

Maybe just fade it out to black/transparent?

The Ti-99/4A theme is on GitHub now

@dteam looks great!

Last one...

Tandy CoCo3. I used the Tandy logo to sperate the two machines. We didnt really do a CoCo1, so I didn't bother. The 2 and 3 are plenty to cover all bases of this beloved machine.

This shows fine in black or white background.

Here is the actual CoCo3 I used from a History of the Tandy website. It's the only one I could find that was an Actual CoCo3 and matched the badge. I try to do that with all my theme graphics. The one that is provided with a lot of themes is a Silver CoCo 1 which naturally doesn't match the badge.

jamrom2

CoCo 2 with Radio Shack badging to match the CoCo 2 badge I posted above...

Folly

@jamrom2

Cool !

How long did it take to finish these ?

DTEAM

@jamrom2
Your Coco2 system and Coco 3 System and logo are now on Cygnus Blue flames

Thanks for your work !

A few days ago I went to the game-on exhibition in Groningen where you can actually play with all the stuff :-).

I made some pictures from most of the things I saw there.
I also made photo's of the Nintendo VS.

Perhaps we can use some stuff.

I place it all here :

@Folly
Awsome!!!

Folly

@DTEAM

Yes, It was really cool.
It's extended until mid June, I might go a second time.

Are you planning on making a nintendovs section for our theme ?
