New NES overlays

[UDb23]

@meleu Was able to slightly increase font size; from 10 to 11.
Images and text realigned for better readability.
All Bosses with transparent background now.

@UDb23 Wow! This is awesome!

This might make @meleu sad but I never got into Mega Man on the NES. I remember renting one of the games but I just didn't like it. Now I have a reason to give them another chance!

A good friend of my back from my college days wrote a program in BASIC that can generate passwords for just about every Mega Man game from NES, GB and SNES. Here's the site but the download link doesn't work anymore:

@UDb23

Do you plan making for the others?

@UDb23
Here's a screenshot:

And the launching art is so beautiful that I almost cried when I saw it! Huuuuuge thank you!!

LOL
How could I leave you without ?

Even more if you ask like

[UDb23]

Glad you like it !

Even if I knew the name, I never played Mega Man series games before discovering Retropie. With all the knowledge I now have about Bosses & weaknesses, I got to try these games !!

Will start looking at the other titles soon; hoping they don't have so many Bosses ;-)

If you let me choose the next, I'd say Mega Man 3. :-)

Mega Man 3

8 Robot masters and 17 Bosses !! They would not fit all...
Would just bosses be ok ?

@UDb23

8 Robot masters and 17 Bosses !! They would not fit all...

Oh yeah, you're right. In Mega Man 3 we have to defeat the "spirit" of the Mega Man 2 bosses in other robots (or maybe the software in another hardware)... Well, OK. Only the robot masters would be nice too. :-) Thanks man!

[UDb23]

@meleu : Mega Man 3 ready !

[meleu]

@UDb23 awesome!

Just realized that, since you're using original boxart, making a cool image with the original Mega Man boxart can be challenging. :-)

@meleu
I found these; USA and European as original box art.
Not having any specific NES knowledge I can't say what was the actual original.

They could be used as launching image and or Scraping image.
What was your idea ?

@UDb23

The original box art looks like a child's contest submission. Although, the shading on the upper lip must have taken them hours.

@mediamogul

Ok. You mean next overlay should be the first MEGA MAN ...
quite terrible drawing that box art... maybe they had not enough money to pay developers AND a serious artist :-)

Your overlay for Mega Man 3 is perfect! When I said "original Mega Man boxart" I meant "Mega Man 1", the first Mega Man game for NES.

That awful boxart on my previous post is the USA version of Mega Man 1 boxart.

In the actual original (japanese version) it looks better:

@meleu @mediamogul
check this about the Mega Man 1 box art. ;-)

[meleu]

@UDb23 LOL

note: I've originally posted a wrong image on my previous post. Fixed with the correct image (Rockman).

[mediamogul]

@UDb23

I'm crying with laughter over here!!

[UDb23]

@meleu I was looking for the image on the web right now... found the one you fixed.

Also this was the EU version:
