8-bit graphic goodness for your desktop

by Kevin Kelly { Dec 17th 2006 at 6:45PM }

Freaky Fonts has a collection of retro-gaming wallpaper images up on their site which prove that simplicity can still kick butt. These work really well because they aren't so busy that your icons get lost in the background, plus they look snazzy to boot. When's the last time you had an image from H.E.R.O. on your computer? What about Super Zaxxon? Dang, time to fire up MAME for some gaming.

Check out the whole set of eleven here, and decorate your desktop to your heart's content. Got a favorite video game desktop image? Tell us about it.

Hey, thats pretty funny, i've been making something similar for years!
Ons of the hottest one is the Zelda 1 zora's...take a pic, take only the zora so it becomes a little square...then in tile on desktop!
I almost see those 3d images in there, and awsome on mushrooms! :p
