As I slowly go through and add pictures, fix some things that need fixing, etc., I want to make sure you guys are okay with it. Here's the next addition. Before, the 'Articles' page had just a black background and the list of articles. Now, I added a picture to it. Let me know what you think and check it out.

Here's one for the staff page. Man, I need to put a new picture of myself in there. Check it.

Damn, Stan. That's gangster. Looks good, I'm loving the new logos, they are topical and really spruce up each page. Not sure on the font or the green text color for the Staff page, but it's all good.
Edit: The Articles page is perfect though, couldn't have used better selections!

Cool, thanks! It's been hard trying to remember in all these damn games which ones had workable stills or shots I could get to use. I was hoping a Battletoads font existed for the staff page, and yeah, I know the lettering might be a bit off, I think I might change it.

Added one to the Frapper map page. Add yourself if you haven't yet. This one was easy and the image is quite good in my opinion.

Got another one done. Was able to do some fancy bit art with this one, combining Aerial Assault with Galaxy Force, AND I could animate it because it only required two frames. I thought it was a good idea for a Contributors List, tell me what you think.

Yeah, updated the 'What is the SMS' section, included some more data, links and so forth, and a truly mehfecking awesome GIF. Check it, more to come.

Yawn, fleshing out some more of them. Here's another before I head off to bed. Of course, the 'places to buy' needs some majoring updating. Gamestop carries nothing anymore and I can add a few things, as well as suggesting this forum and warning potential retroboys. I'll do that this weekend as more ideas for banners pop in my head. I'm pretty proud of this one. See if you can figure out where the graphics came from and get a prize.

Wow, that's a lot of work over the last few days. I really love the two animated ones, again they fit perfectly. Great job combining frames in that Galaxy Force/Aerial Assault one, too. That looks flawless.
As for the final one, I know I've seen that before. I want to say Carmen Sandiego, but that looks too refined. I don't know, but I've got to say, that's the finest 8-bit mustache I've ever seen.

Isn't it from Ace of Aces...? Good job there, Stan; found the ones from "Frapper" and "Where to buy a SMS" very interesting.

Thanks guys. Well, Melo figured part of the 'Where to Buy' one out. ONE of the games is Ace of Aces. But there are two more I used to make it. The list one wasn't too hard. It was a toss up between that one using Galaxy Force and Aerial Assault or the Out Run ending crowd. We already have one that Ian made with a banner and I wanted to go with something I could animate, so I chose them. Glad you guys like them. A few more to go and some more changes and then all that's left is updating, hardware entries, game pictures and the programming section. Awsum.

The actual content of the Where to Buy page is very much out of date though. Gamestation's don't stock retro stuff any more, inconsoleable isn't going now, and Comical Games just sells sonic mags. Theres quite a lot more online sites to buy from now though, a few Japanese import/exporters that carry markIII like this one: www.japangamestock.com/And theres ebay alternatives like www.chasethechuckwagon.com/ and Amazon marketplace.

I know, as I said I need to update that part, I just did a little alteration of the write-up last night and the picture I made there. I need to go through that and totally fix some things.

Updated the 'where to buy' page with new links and sources. Let me know if I should change and/or add anything. Here it is.

Ahhhh (smaks lips, stretches), here are three more header graphics. I'm not sure about the last one, but I really couldn't think of anything else. Need to go through that page and adjust some things over the next few months. Anyway, here you go and feel free to shoot me some criticism: 1. Emulation page. This one is bad ass in my opinion. I'm pretty happy with. Updated info, links, wrote some more and added some well-known sites with ROMs for download. Since there are emulation sites on there, figured ROM sites would make sense too. 2. Top 100 Games. Just a graphic for the main page of this. Obviously, Ian made it awesome so there was nothing to do to it. I wasn't sure what to do, but I figured this one works. 3. Rare Items Gallery. This one gave me trouble. For the life of me I couldn't figure out what the hell to do. I knew the losing screen in Casino Games would be awesome, but I didn't know what else to do, so I just threw in the Safair Hunt logo from the combo game and made a similar-styled font. Looks fine, I suppose, but if someone thinks of a better idea just tell me.
