Splashscreens

@lilbud

I've never played, would you say the original is better or the GBA version?

That's a tough question for me to answer because I grew up playing the original NES version and I have a strong attachment with it but the GBA version has been updated with better graphics, new moves, new items, bug fixes, it doesn't use the dreaded super long passwords and it has an option to have an AI controlled 2nd player to play co-op with.

I'd recommend the original NES version if you have a friend to play 2 player co-op with on the same RPi. If you what to play single player or with an AI controlled 2nd player or if you have a friend with their own RPi then you could try co-op play over network/internet, then I'd recommend the GBA version.

Inspired by @lilbud, here's my attempt at a Q*bert splashscreen :

[lilbud]

This one had to be done, I just found out that Club Penguin is shutting down. If you are not aware, Club Penguin was an MMORPG aimed at kids. You took the role of a penguin, which you could dress how you wanted, and play around in the virtual world. This was among the first video games I ever played, and I wanted to pay homage to this wonderful game

[lilbud]

This one has been a long time comin', This one is based off the album cover of Greetings From Asbury Park, NJ by Bruce Springsteen. One of my favorites.

Couldn't resist to make this one:

First who tells what's based on gets an upvote ;-)
Easy... if you're old enough.

@UDb23 Is this background that picture taken by an astronaut aboard Apollo 8?

@UDb23 Space: 1999

[UDb23]

@meleu Yes, it's that famous picture. I just moved earth a bit to the right.
So your answer is correct but it's not THE answer...

[UDb23]

@Graboid You're the first ! Absolutely right.
I really liked that TV series as a kid.

3 new splashscreens, based off of the Gen 1 Pokemon starters.

[edmaul69]

@lilbud i used to collect them. I had the first 3 sets complete including the infamous charzard. I got one out of a pack and i bought one from a kid for 50 dollars that i gave my brother in law as a christmas present.

[lilbud]

@edmaul69 I have/had maybe 10 cards. Never understood the card game.

[edmaul69]

@lilbud i never understood it either. I collected them as cards. I have a bunch of role playing, magic playing friends of mine but i just never could get into it.

I like what I see here !

What I would like to see more is a splash screen with instructions on how to use the controls inside retropie. Like that green screen already posted but maybe with different artworks.

I personnaly use the "Winners don't use drugs" logo for my splash screen :)

Thanks all !

@Nataq Like a picture of the controller
