Title: Putting the X back in XMAS (Crappy TG-16 gifts for you all)
Post by: esteban on 12/25/2013, 07:55 AM
NOTE: I think most of this stuff is 3-4 years old.

Over the years, I have accumulated a bunch of random stuff that I almost finished (Jim Power, Gomola Speed), didn't want to share (too embarrassed, like the remix below) or forgot to post (RASTER Magazine) or ________ (stuff I may add).

Since it is XMAS, I figured I might as well post a few things. Who knows? Some of you may dig something here and change your desktop (ha!)  :D




GOMOLA SPEED Wallpaper

I guess I wasn't finished writing this page, plus I wasn't completely happy with the final product?  I can't remember.  It doesn't seem too bad now, but I remember not being happy with something.

ANYWAY, I love the character designs! I think I have some other images from the manual...but I never included them in this page? I tried to find them....to no avail. Sadly, the iPhone image is lo-res these days...





Jim Power in 3-D Wallpaper!
BLAST FROM THE PAST: It was in the COMPARE SNES vs. MD vs. PCE thread (awack!) that I was inspired to make this...

I just needed to write a bit more. Also, you can tell this is old because the iPhone resolution is half of the current standard (ha!).

I had a bunch of stuff I wrote to finish the page...but I think I lost it years ago. I was basically skewering the (then) brand-new push for 3D TELEVISIONS. Of course, this is now passe. Oh well. DATED, NON-FUNNY MATERIAL DESERVED TO BE LOST.

RASTER Magazine (was this a fanzine? does anyone have info on it?)

"In-depth reviews for Genesis, TurboGrafx-16, & Lynx" courtesy the Watkins family: R.E. Watkins (Publisher), C.K. Watkins (Editor), Steve Watkins (Review Director).

Read the three TG-16 reviews...sadly, I didn't scan the whole magazine (I wish I did!), because I'd post the whole thing for you to read. I have this...somewhere...in a box...somewhere...

Ugghhh... I don't have skills, the mix is very low, I wanted to continue playing around (too repetitive) but... this is very amateurish.

I was purposefully trying to depart from the catchy, ass-kicking elements of this awesome tune, I wanted to be ANTI-asskicking:

I dig the BL remix.  I'd say mission accomplished on doing a 180 from BL's tunes.  :mrgreen:

my wife teaches spin (stationary bike) classes at the gym.
She loves this fast paced stuff for her classes.  Must be 160 BPM to qualify.

Comrades, you are too gracious.  :pcgs:

I did change the wallpaper on my laptop, though. Ha!

NECRO-bump because I was drinking some rum and felt the urge to pull a Nulltard.

SELF PROMOTION....

Also, Gomola Speed has been getting some attention recently and some folks might want the desktop wallpaper.

Really, the truth is that I was trying to find the old fanzine "RASTER" and I couldn't remember if I ever shared it on the pcefx forums...well, sadly, I can't find the print issue. I really wanted to re-read it, especially because I never scanned the entire issue and only have a handful of scans. Oh well.

:(
