Using A.I to recreate ZX Spectrum loading screens.

Ooh, is it Big Beardy Bill the Bunker Botherer?

[bluespikey]

It's not Bounty Bob.

Yes it is

Gilligan's Gold?

It's not, really. The main character is a doctor.

Spoiler

I checked the author in the database and it seems he programmed two of the other games I've posted in this thread.

Dr Jakyll and Mr Wide?

Dr Jakyll and Mr Wide?

yeah that's the one. Terrible game.

[Einar Saukas]

Again this is not the loading screen, but it better represents the game this way:

side view of female ninja dressed in black, jumping from flying yellow hang glider towards white antenna at top of skyscrapper, in a dark blue sky with small moon visible in the top corner

I don't know what the game is but oh boy, is that dude in trouble.

[Oloturia]

I don't know what the game is but oh boy, is that dude in trouble.

I think of Tutankhamun where the dude is indeed in trouble.

That's the game though I remember the title was La mummia.

[bluespikey]

Kevin Toms?

[R-Tape]

Kevin Toms?

No but you're in the right ball park. It's a loading screen.

[Oloturia]

La mummia is the Italian bootleg published by Load'n'Run.

A bit of self-indulgence. I hate AI in the way it just rips off artists work... but I guess it's okay using it for fun...


(I probably would've used it back in the day... as that was long before I climbed up to my incredibly tall equine viewing point.)

That'll be Microfair Madness

Saboteur 2. Had to look it up as I didn't remember it having a female protagonist or a hanglider. Maybe I never played it back in the day!

Looks vaguely like Kenny Dalglish, did he have a game? Lineker? Graham Souness?

[R-Tape]

Yep one of those and he has games.

Actually that's close enough. Bit unfair this one. Gary Lineker's Superstar Soccer. He's not been very lucky with loading screen likeness in any of his games, so I went with 'a close up of a neanderthal young Gary Lineker'.

[Daveysloan]

I love how they got Jimmy Nail to stand in for Gary Lineker for the loading screen on one of his games...

[Juan F. Ramirez]

An easy one:

[stupidget]

Nightshade.

I tried doing this one but couldn’t get the top-down perspective right.

[toot_toot]

I thought it was from Tubby Brewster’s Geordie Soccer Simulator!
