    Default System Background

    Ive been working on making a mixture of video game systems into a desktop background. Right now i have most systems from Atari 2600 to PS3,so are still not included but others are being deleted.So i thought i post it here and see what i should delete or keep and see what you all think about it. BTW you can download it for your own background if you want.

    Looks pretty cool but I prefer darker backgrounds, brings out the 1337 in me.

    What should be added:
    Nintendo DS
    Sega Nomad
    Xbox 360
    Wii

    If you're going to put the PS3 in there, don't make it too bias and leave out the other 2 or so. I think it may be better do make a retro, classic, then modern background. Then make one that's nothing but handhelds. This way you'd have 4 choices and would be pretty cool.

    Nice pic so far, but no 3DO? No TurboDuo? PC-FX, CD-X, Wondermega, Panasonic Q, Turbo Express.....???? Ok, I'm just getting out of hand with all those last ones, but I agree with the previous post in that you should seperate them into eras like retro, classic, modern and handheld, hell go even further and do a Japan-only systems one Keep up the nice work!

    Previous posts are good suggestions. I'd also suggest killing the text.

    I see a disturbing amount of PSP in there and lack of Nintendo DS.

    Needs more Wii.

    You need these classics:
    Odyssey
    Odyssey 2
    Intellivision
    Vectrex
    Atari 7800

    Maybe even
    C-64 GS
    XE-GS

    If you didn't read the original post then don't reply.

    So i thought i post it here and see what i should delete or keep and see what you all think about it.
    I think it's awesome. I wouldn't use it because it's too cluttered though. I agree that you missed a classic or two. Many of the systems mentioned here didn't make much of a splash in gaming (either through sales or percieved innovation) and if you didn't own it then it may not belong in your collection here. I think the TG-16, 3DO , CDi and INTV belong in there for sure though. I'd replace that PSone with a real Playstation too.

    EDIT: Oh...and replace that yellow NES with a pretty one. :P

    Pioneer Laseractive. That's all I gotta say about that.

    Looks good, but the Virtual Boy shouldn't be the centerpiece of anything, even a wallpaper.
