I was very lucky on finding gfx next one will be harder.

It can be a good reason to replay one of your favorite games to take some screenshots along the way END+PRTSCR in WinUAE.

Well done! It was one of the first 3 games I had on Amiga.
You've completed the set (the other two games are Rick Dangerous and James Pond).
Thank you for making this banner. I was thinking to make one myself and got distracted along the way . You did a great job with this one.

Bravo!

Great Thanks

at the end you should prepare various pictures with a collage of various banners so these could be become also a wallpaper for desktop or other

Exactly. That way I also got win-win situation for HOL screenshots database. Some games (like requested Hybris) have not enough screenshots on HOL so it's a great opportunity to play the game, take screenshots for banner puprose AND contribute to HOL along the way.

And have fun of course.

- The Settlers

I wonder how these would look scrolling on one of those pixelated screens you can buy online.

Quite challenging requests.

I would love to make at least one banner for those. Can't promise it will be done soon.

Where is the blushing emoji when you need one?
I am no mastermind. I just like to do creative things.
I am so happy that more people are joining.
Soon we will have to draw straws and coordinate our ideas to prevent duplicates.

Wow, rough start. Kind of crazy that of the three games Rick Dangerous is the easiest.

Gremlins 2:



Good god that was not easy, diagonals are a pain and I had to manually edit everything because the levels are just not high enough. Frankly this one really only has the full effect when you see it in it's pixel doubled version because this game is full of smallish sprites (I'll leave it as a url so it doesn't blow up this page):

And as an added bonus, the game over screen that I slightly edited to be taller:



You can see the original in HOL: https://amiga.abime.net/games/view/g...ch#screenshots

So yeah, the theme is that the Gremlins are on their way to take over the city, going from left to right would be the progression through the building as the game progresses through it as well System control to the Clamp office to the lobby and then outside.

Very nice Gimbal!
Thanks a lot!

Ah, the competetive spirit has shown up Just glad I'm already retired

[CrazyOne]

By the request of jcgeuze I present to you another banner of mine.
I hope you like it.
My brother used to play this game a lot and I couldn't get my head around it.

Wow! This looks amazing! Very cool execution.
My favorite Gremlin is the little fella sitting on the desk.
I've never played this game. Your banner got me interested into checking it out.
Keep up the great work.

[gimbal]

The movie is infinitely more fun than the game I'm afraid But it does have style. Unfortunately my favorites, the brain gremlin and the vegetable gremlin, did not make it into the game.
