NES (Games)
For all you old school gamers, here's some desktop wallpapers (most are full compressed complete maps of games for wallpaper). Cool stuff. My fav is the metroids, but I wished they would have assembled the ENTIRE world all[1] (or at least all of brinstar, or whatever) into one mondo wallpaper.

Oh, and sorry if this is a site that is obvious general knowledge and everyone has seen before. :-P

Update: [1]: I've done some googling, and found the whole metroid game. Glad I didn't have to do that myself. A little photoshopping and stuff, and I'll have a jpg or two to u/l to the site (giving the original guy his credit, of course).

  • Thanks for the link. I TOTALLY forgot about Earthworm Jim on the NES. I LOVE LOVE LOVED that game. It was funny and challenging--brought to us by Shiny Entertainment in their heyday.

  • What happened to your poll? I was ready to ask that someone bring me my pot and bring me my bowl. A merry old soul was me.
  • Thanks for the link, brought back a lot of good memories :)

    And thats a good collection of messable/playable pics, if you know what I mean!
  • Looking at the map, I notice I don't see maridina or the ghost ship, nor the landing area and the area going from the landing area down into zebes.

    other than that, it's a complete map ;) I just may have to break out the emulators again and play super metroid - that map shows the locations of all those statues (minus meridina & ghost ship) of which I'm pretty sure I didn't find every single one last time I played it.

  • This is the shit, baby. [desktopgaming.com]

    God, I can't believe how many hours (and quarters!) I wasted on that game back in the day. I always was über-eager to go to the grocery store with my parents because they had a Space Invaders machine up in front (one of the first arcade games in the whole area). I'd stay in the front area while they went shopping -- and I'd plunk in all my pocket money (except for the 25 cents for a 16 oz. Dr. Pepper in the deposit bottle, of course) into that damn thing.

    In fact, it was an od

  • Cool links, thanks
  • Galaga? In 1600x1200 resolution? Who are they trying to kid, anyhow? Some arcade, some NES. Kinda good tho'.
