Splashscreens

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 what game is this?

[lilbud]

@edmaul69 Supposed to be bionic commando

[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?

[Graboid]

@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

Like this?

Was thinking something like this : http://i.imgur.com/bfz4N2L.png

But thinking about it, it might not work for me since I use arcade buttons and no hotkeys :/

I will have to create a custom one for my unique controls I guess.

[lilbud]

@Nataq What controller do you have?

[Nataq]

@lilbud

It's an arcade cabinet. Here it is :

6 buttons per players. A is the first button from top row left and B the button on its right.

Select is the black button on the left of "player 1 start" and start is the player 1 start button.

Pause is the top left button and exit top right. Those are properly identified on the button themselves now. :)

Image doesnt seem to work. Its here : http://imgur.com/a/2sLUY
