Retro Icons

Mr.A · 04 April 2005, 23:37

Ive been setting up my WINAUE config files to execute as shortcuts in an Amiga window and assigning icons made from the game gfx to each one....

now to any other audience this might seem sad

But to me it looks brill....

You just have whackloads of free time.

I personally use all within the Amiga interface, emulated or not (WHDLoad forever)

Those are excellent icons. Really pretty.

Nice icons!!! I make icons too. Maybe I post them here in the future.

very cool icons

must take shedloads of time tho lol

Mr.A · 05 April 2005, 23:03

glad you like, they make me feel warm and fuzzy

but it takes not long really, usually just a case of whiting out the background to whichever image or pixel you choose. (some of them abit of mixing more than one shot, but mostly not)...

For anyone who cares, theres a (I think) a great little icon editor called IconXP. Basically I downloaded it with a crack, but it was so cool I happily paid for a licence!!

...The reality is that I dont 'click' on many of the icons that often... just look at them !!!

P.S. Mr Modem, post your icons, we might be only 2 people in the world who make them

Ok, here's some of my icons.This is how my emu folder look like. Some of them are not finished. I haven't done any game icons (yet).
