Krakerman Posted January 3, 2012 Author Share Posted January 3, 2012 Here is another sneak peek for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakerman Posted January 3, 2012 Author Share Posted January 3, 2012 How you guys like that one?I was debating if I want to show box images on this screen as there just isn't enuff room I don't think and most of the images aren't all the same sizes. Box images as you can tell are displayed on the far left side of the screen. The screen looks a bit squished also as I down sized the image so it doesn't take much space to upload it. This theme is in 1080p and looks bitchin on a big screen I must say! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Dan_91_07 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Honestly I think the box snap looks great where it is.It looks really nice! I'm particularly impressed with the monitor and the area underneath it but the whole thing looks awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakerman Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 Ok guys I didn't like the Atari 2600 so I re-did it. Tell me what you think of this one. Do you like it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakerman Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 The snap looks a bit funny due to the size of the snap, but it looks fine in 1080p. Just curious if the screen has too much going on or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 I like the look of the Commodore 64 image better than I do the Atari 2600. In the 2600 image it looks like some of the game character items were just placed for the sake of being there and the flow is more chaotic. I feel more like I am sitting in the midst of a Skittles explosion instead of on the living room floor about to play my favorite 2600 game.

Krakerman Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 That's what I thought also!Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakerman Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 If you liked the Commodore 64 skin Draco. How do you like this one continuing on with the same skin idea for the Atari 400/800 8-Bit Computers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 I definitely like it, and much better than the 2600. I would likely use the 800XL or 130XE for my Atari 8-bit images (I tend to be partial to both of these since they were my first and second Atari 8-bit systems and both were used for some extensive game play and to manage my Atari 8-bit BBS back in the day when 2400 BPS was "blazing fast."

Krakerman Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 Very cool!I started with the Telstar Pong ... then onto the Atari 2600 which led to Atari 400 after that which my parents got me an actual keyboard replacement for that touchpad the 400 had.I had my Atari's even when I was in the Navy which is when I got an Atari 130XE system. One of my shipmates had a 800 with tons of games and hardware which I bought from him. All the memories ..... Anyways until this Theme Editor gets fixed my theme won't even load into the editor anymore so I am at a stand still ...I re-did the 2600 and will post it as soon as this gets fixed hopefully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakerman Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 Before the crashes I got these done which also I got in my later days while in the Navy. Atari ST & Amiga systems!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakerman Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 The monitor on the Atari ST I had to do myself as I couldn't find a good image out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Dan_91_07 Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 No Guybrush Threepwood image for the Amiga!?LOL The Amiga had so many great adventure games on it you see, never mind me though. Looking good man, I think the Atari ST theme may be looking a bit empty however... not sure.I agree with Draco too, about the Atari 2600, but I still think you're doing a great job!

AlphaUMi Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Great work Krakerman, keep it up! I agree with all the suggestions you received until now... Personally I really like the C64, Atari 8-bit and Amiga backgrounds... and my compliments with the monitor you designed... it seems so real and "in context"... I would have never said it is "painted".. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Here are a few game suggestions for the Atari ST:Dungeon MasterLemmingsF-15 Strike EagleMasterblazerGreat job on the Atari ST monitor! Good pics for them are hard to come by as they were pricey compared to the standard color RGB monitors that were also compatible so not many left in the wild.

Krakerman Posted January 8, 2012 Author Share Posted January 8, 2012 OK here is the new Atari 2600 background. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I like this one much, much better. I find myself missing the days of laying down on the shag in front of the TV and pushing pixels! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakerman Posted January 8, 2012 Author Share Posted January 8, 2012 Thanks!Yes ... with the Star Raiders manual and cart that was the idea of laying on the shag playing my favorite game on my parents old Zenith which back then a tv was like a piece of furniture I just wasn't sure about the Missile command box the one with the list of games on it. I had the Atari Text above the Video Computer System just like 2600 boxes, but it kinda conflicts with the Atari 2600 Logo above so I removed it and put the Atari Logo instead. Does that look ok to you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I think it looks fine. Wouldn't have noticed until you said something! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlphaUMi Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 You should ask original authors first. If they openly stated, in a readme or somewhere else, that you can use their images as you want, you're golden. If not, contact them and I'm sure they'll be willing to give you permission to use their images for your (very good, imho) work.As a personal note... I want to add that... if they shouldn't respond you, feel free to use the images as you want, better renewed than lost... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakerman Posted January 9, 2012 Author Share Posted January 9, 2012 I have removed the images and am currently waiting for permission. I was going to add their names within the particular theme since they created the art. So keeping my fingers crossed as they look amazing in action and would like to share with you guys as well.I'll keep you posted and will repost the images to show everyone when they respond.
