Default Some retro wallpapers I made.

Some times ago I made some wallpapers of my favourite SNES games.
I thought someone may like them and so I decided to put them on the web.

There are 2 wallpapers from 'Super Metroid' and one from 'A Link to the Past'.
The graphics is scaled without filters because I really like pixel-art.
By now I just made them 1024*768 in size.

The one from 'A Link to the Past' is edited a bit. The shot is from the last scenes in the game and I edited out some rabbits that were jumping around and some text, too.

I know I didn't do so much work to make this wallpapers. But I realized I didn't find any of this kind while searching on the web, so I made them myself.
Any comment is appreciated, just don't be so lame in saying that I only needed to rip them off from the games, because I perfectly know it...

Thanks, those are pretty sweet, I'm using the Zelda one now. By any chance do you have the original unedited image? I think it would look pretty cool with "..and the master sword sleeps... FOREVER!" or whatever it says on it.

I've done a couple of others.
One is just the request from nintendoduffin, with writings, rabbits and Master Sword sleeping forever (!).
While I was at it, I also made one of the return of the King to Hyrule Castle, with Zelda and the other maidens.

I'll upload them tonight (6 or 7 hours from now), we have some restriction at work and can't access my site.

No work for me in these days, maybe I can do some other to kill the time.

Just made one based on the Master sword, with an added motion effect. 1280x1024

Quite effective I think
