Zeta: Did you see my "thank you" ? Those remixes are sweetness.

Tatsujin: I love the moderno minimalismo aesthetic of your desktop.

One question: what do you do when you forget to wear your sunglasses whilst computing?

Woody: I had a poster like that when I was a kid. I thought it was the koolest thing. 1984 reborn as desktop--makes me want to find some old DIO felt posters that I used to have and make them into desktop designs. No joke

nat · 03/03/2010, 06:41 PM

I have them too on the few Turbo ROMs I've got on my Mac here. They must have come with one of the emulators, MagicEngine perhaps? mednafen? I don't know.

Splatterhouse.

travisahhs · 03/06/2010, 04:46 PM

Thanks guys. The hucard icons are used with TGemu, the crappy mac PC Engine emulator. Most game run ok, some don't have sound, and some don't run at all. I think Richard Bannister quit working on it a few years ago.

I see some files labeled 'Jason Bateman', therefor you're next wallpaper will be Super Mario Bros. related.

Everyone should have a folder named "Space Harrier" on their desktop.

Joe Redifer · 03/09/2010, 04:05 AM

I can't believe I never posted in this thread (unless there is another like it). Anyway the following are my desktops, they change randomly every half hour or so, or maybe it is every hour. All of the pictures were taken by me and are my personal consoles (I have since changed my Dock to a "less gay" version):

Ceti Alpha · 03/09/2010, 10:56 AM

Great shots, Joe. I love that R-Type is in the SMS.

esteban · 03/11/2010, 12:56 AM

Joe, there a bunch of wonderful shots that I would love to use on my desktop.

The Genesis (first one) is fantastic.

As is the TG-CD close-up (volume control). Brilliant.

For some reason, I really like the Dreamcast (with the ports)--I think the lighting is one of the things I really love in that shot.

I'll stop there, but you have some really nice shots. You gotta share!

Joe Redifer · 03/11/2010, 01:52 AM

I do share. I have them available in 3 sizes:

1280x1024
1680x1050
1920x1080
