            Bored on Monday. Decided to do Contra for NES. Not sure if anyone else did it. Tried a forum search but didn't find anything. Anyway, here it is.

                Felt like doing a Game Boy Color splash screen. The one, and only, Zelda I've ever beat fairly. Legend of Zelda DX for GBC.

                Now with added clouds and widescreen. What?! Yes, I know. :D

                  @Rookervik The Zelda and the Contra splashscreens above are 640x360. Is it intentional?

                      @lilbud oh! maybe imgur does some adjustments to the dimensions when accessing from a mobile device.
                      Thanks

                        And a little more Game Boy Color love... Always wanted to do Shantae. And now I have. Scary part? Drawing her hair and arm were the easiest parts by far.

                          Ok, this took maximum effort. Not only did I have to copy the font style, I had to copy the shading for the embossed edges of the font. Exhausting, but fun! Very pleased. :D

                            You're awesome, question though, does the splash screen randomizer slow down? because I wan't to do this with all your splash screens

                              @SonPluck Nah, I have all my splashscreens (and movies) in the folder and they play no problem. It's just a script that chooses a random image (or movie) to play at startup. There's really nothing to slow it down. Unless you had tens of thousands of images to choose from. MAYBE it would slow down. But even then, probably not. HAHAHA.

                                @rookervik Hey there Rook! Love these splashscreens! May I make a request? Could you make a splash screen based off of the original NES Kid Icarus title screen?

                                  @hyruleslink Freaking heck yes! Doing this are my favorite thing to do. Haha. Just no one has requests. I'll get on this after I fix a pixel metadata error.

                                        Thanks for making this splash screen. I will be installing this one when I get home from work later for sure.

                                            This one may be a little more challenging than the others, but if you are up to it, I would like to request a splashscreen based off of the Breath of Fire II title screen.
