Phone wallpapers/screensavers

Post by Juan F. Ramirez »

With some free time and Windows Paint I got this: Spectrum-related wallpapers/screensavers.

If you have made any others, please, post them here!

This is actually a brilliant idea. I don’t think I’d use anything that wild on my phone, but if I were into some more jarring background imagery, I totally would! Keep them coming, I enjoy looking at them!

This is indeed a great idea!

I wonder if a wizard like [mention]kolbeck[/mention] or [mention]Turrican[/mention] or someone could use their skills to link ZXDB screenshots to a screensaver app. Swipe it left if you don't want to see it again, swipe it right if you want to see it more often. Could be a genre based app.

Though of the ones in this thread, Juan has forgotten... oh I've forgotten the names. There's a Spanish game where you're wandering round a cyan maze, climbing ropes and being chased by loaves of bread, and another one where you have to drop parcels over somewhere... parade over Volvograd or something?

Obviously they were the first I had in mind, but I need time to create something at the height of these masterpieces! :mrgreen:

Anyway, any of you can show your works here, this thread was made for it!

Ooh yeah, Scuba Dive - that's a great shout..!

Because the octopus sprite is cool I tried a tweaked version combining a couple of screens, though I had to squash them quite a bit - that sea is deep!

...And it's now my phone screen wallpaper. :D

I would have liked to get some of the bigger sharks and the boat but I was too crap at the game and kept dying.... :lol:

Hahaha.
I´m far away from a wizard! ;)
BTW, this thread is very interesting!

Voilá!

But not much happy with the result. The map is amazing, but 'translating' into a pic like this is hard...

Hi [mention]Morkin[/mention] , I made a new Scuba Dive pic inspired by the one you did, this time include sharks! ;)

PS: I had to play several games to capture all the sea fauna!

That looks great...! :) Yeah, it's a bit fiddly the way the screen skips.
