Oh yeah, how could I have forgotten Within the Woods!
I enjoy a movie with Bruce Campbell in it! Even if it's a really bad B-movie lol!

@backstander

Also, how awesome was it to see Ellen Sandweiss make her return as Cheryl a few weeks back? Great season so far!

@lilbud
Blade Runner is a "must-watch". But Neverending Story... I don't like it...

I don't know if you are looking for movies from the 80's only, but here's a short list that I like:

• Total Recall
• 2001: a Space Odyssey
• 12 Monkeys
• A Clockwork Orange

@meleu
I agree those are good movies!

But Neverending Story... I don't like it...

I saw that as a kid and loved it but I did watch it about 5-6 years ago and it hasn't aged well

Total Recall

I bet you're talking about the original 1990 version even though the 2012 reboot wasn't that bad.

2001: a Space Odyssey

Is a great story but has some excruciatingly slow scenes but worth a watch non-the-less. Also A Clockwork Orange was directed by the same director!

12 Monkeys

This is a great story as well. Really makes you think if you can follow it lol

I might also add:

• Fight Club
• Interview with the Vampire
• Butterfly Effect
• Donnie Darko

Hopefully you don't come down with depression after watching all these movies lol

@lilbud great work! They look realy good

Here's something I made as a proof of concept, let me know what you guys think :) I did this in Paint. The biggest flaw here is the color around the letters (blue and purple-ish), because the original lettering of the Neo Geo logo only has white and shades of grey. The font is bold Times New Roman, I used a size of 40pt.

@felleg did you see the Rookervik's video splashscreen with a very similar image?

[felleg]

@meleu No, in fact, I haven't! I downloaded the extra-splashcreens in bulk from the RetroPIe OS, and I couldn't see it in there. Can you please point me to it? For some reason, I'm having difficulty browsing this forum.

EDIT: Nevermind, I found it! :) I added it to my folder. I think it's nice to have a video and a screen version. Just wondering, though, how does the selection process work for these screens? Why wasn't this video uploaded when I downloaded splashscreens from RetroPie?

[lilbud]

@felleg You have to submit a Pull Request to the splashscreen repository

[felleg]

@lilbud Gotcha! I'm not a github expert, but I tried to create the file in the repository. We'll see what happens. If you're able to create a better version of the image, that would be fine by me as well! :)

@felleg yes rookerviks neo geo video splashscreen is awesome.

@lilbud said in Splashscreens:

Double Dare

I used to love that show. I was actually playing the NES game two nights ago. Not terribly fun when played with the computer, but I bet it would be a trip to work into a retro gaming night with friends.

[NanoS7]

@lilbud great!! I would like a similar for SNES and N64!!

[lilbud]

This is a splashscreen for an upcoming project that I am currently working on. Stay Tuuuuuned.

@lilbud like the retro woodgrain 70's look.

I tried uploading my file to github, but I think it failed miserably. Not sure why, though.
