Post by Pegaz »

New Atic Atac loading screen, from c64 conversion.
It looks really great. :)

Well, honestly, in this particular case I had to hunt to find the differences. Yes, they are there, but so subtle that I was like "wait, didn't it look like this before?". So, IMO, nothing like the stuff MAC, Craig, or Oleg are doing (https://zxart.ee/eng/graphics/top-rated/).

Well yes, but I think the intention was to improve the original loading screen, which would fit nicely with this Atic Atac port, and not to make a completely new one, like MAC and others do...

WOW indeed! Some of that work is astonishing.
