      I see good mockups but those are major systems and fairly easy to do. Especially those with characters. It gets tricky though when you have to do systems like Ports, Amiga, SG-1000, Apple II, Amstrad, Atari and so on... Some systems only survived 1 year on the market and are difficult to find images, screenshots...

      I would say go with the second mockup in the first post. Text only should be quick and easy.
      Update to other icons later if necessary.

        @FlyingTomahawk Yeah. I agree. Who was the standout "character" on the Vectrex for example? That triangle from Mine Storm? Or the 2600? A smurf / 9 blue pixels and 3 white ones...

              @FlyingTomahawk I don't mean to ask personal questions, so just ignore me if it is none of my business... But how did you end up in Japan? Is it a permanent or a temporary work thing? Is being a westerner still kinda exotic? Have you become more polite since moving to Japan?

                  I don't mind at all.
                  Just to keep it short and not clutter up this thread, here a short version.

                  • Married Japanese woman
                  • Moved to Japan in 2006
                  • Intend to stay but never know what the future brings
                  • Japan has its pros and cons. Very low crime rate
                  • me before living in Japan = aggressive, meat eating foreigner
                  • me after 11 years Japan = aggressive meat eating foreigner

                  How did you know that I was a foreigner? I could have been a English speaking Japanese dude.

                    Yeah. Sorry to disappoint you. I hope you still like me though. :)
                    If it means anything I can use chopsticks and speak Japanese as good as a native Japanese person.

                      Well, your real name doesn't sound very Japanese

                          Not sure, maybe your phrasing. You just type like a native English speaker. Thanks for the answer by the way. I don't mean to pry into your private life.

                            @FlyingTomahawk You are never required to put your real name in your main theme.xml files. I just put my user name and my email

                                @AlexMurphy Easy, just send them to:
                                Sesame St, Mr. Rogers Neighborhood, 90210

                                (If you get the references right, you get internet points.)

                                          @lilbud Did he not get arrested for drunk and disorderly behaviour at some point? Maybe that is an urban myth.

                                            @AlexMurphy Yeah, that is a myth. He supposedly never drank or smoked and was a vegetarian. If there was someone like that today, they would be shunned from society
