Using A.I to recreate ZX Spectrum loading screens.

Is that a giant pair of scissors?

yep plus something biblical

[equinox]

A guy, a girl, and some chains... it has to be either a brothel, or Gauntlet.

Good try bug it is meant to be the last scene of the game

[Ralf]

A guy, a girl, and some chains...

This guy looks like something between Jesus, Poseidon, Prometheus and Samson

I don't recall a similar Spectrum game.

Yes, second picture definitely suggests the Biblical story of Samson and Delilah, but surely there isn't a Speccy game about that?
What about the huge red heart? Was this an AI hallucination, or is it a clue to the game? I love this thread.

Stormlord?? That had a beardy guy, rescuing girls, with a sword (maybe the AI turns it into scissors, because we aren't allowed weapons).



If this screen had been sent to me, I would say "can we have less Hugh, and more Hugh-SON". Yuk-yuk-yuk, I'd chuckle, while replacing the extremely heavy "car phone" and settling back in my now even more valuable 1980s Ferrari.

Good try again as Stormlord has a lot of flying hearts too. Scissors are ai hallucination. Its the voluptous woman who rescues her imprisoned partner. Im afraid the english version in different

I just asked an AI what game it could be, and the best suggestion was "Game Over II" a.k.a. "Phantis" (which is not an English game, and does indeed end with a girl rescuing a guy, although it's small sprite graphics and not a full screen).
If this is correct, I will post the entire AI conversation, so you can see how we got there. If not, damn

That's correct!! I feel cheated

[uglifruit]

So easy you get two to choose from.

[R-Tape]

Nice DD. What wording did you use to get that comic art style?

[R-Tape]

That's correct!! I feel cheated

Whoa! That's scary. Yes I'd like to know more about that chat @equinox.

[uglifruit]

I didn't mention art style. My prompt was "a two panel comic, with the face of a 1950s soldier in a green uniform wearing a peaked cap in the left panel, and the face of green alien with a large forehead in the right panel."

[Sokurah]

I tried another one. It gave me 4 choices and I couldn't chose, so you get all four ... but I suspect even the worst would've been enough



The prompt was;

Seen from above, a mole dressed in a aviator outfit climbing into a biplane placed in the foreground. he is dropping photographs. In the background a policemen is approaching from a police car.

[R-Tape]

Mutant Monty On The Run.

EDIT - dammit that should be Auf Wiedersehen Mutant Monty!

[equinox]

Here is the conversation. You can see that the AI "hallucinated" a bit and gave obviously wrong answers at the beginning, but it gradually got there.

[Juan F. Ramirez]

A game that needs a very accurate description is Zorro. I made some tries (both in spanish or english), but AI shows a fox (the spanish for 'zorro'), with a sword , a hat, in black, but still a fox!

[Juan F. Ramirez]

[Mpk]

That's nothing like Zorro!

More like Blue Thunder, maybe?

[Sokurah]

I'd guess "Cyclone".

[SteveSmith]

Did you use the word 'cyclone', or 'interdimensional vortex'?

[Oloturia]

OK these aren't loading screens, but ingame images from a text adventure...

Spoiler

Long Way Home

I specified "ZX Spectrum" but it keeps giving me black and white images... I find it slightly insulting to a machine that has a rainbow on its corner.

[AndyC]

The long way home.

Love it.

[Oloturia]

What format of cassette is this?

[8BitSC]

Did you use the word 'cyclone', or 'interdimensional vortex'?

Given the label the game was released by, I'd have thought "Vortex" was implied.
