This one is even more old school than the Commodore 64 wallpapers I’ve been putting together. River Raid is an Atari 2600 game, and I remember loving it. I could play this game for hours.

Hope you enjoy the wallpaper.

Wallpaper Wednesday: The Bard’s Tale https://greghowley.com/lungfish/2009/03/wallpaper-wednesday-the-bards-tale/ https://greghowley.com/lungfish/2009/03/wallpaper-wednesday-the-bards-tale/#respond Wed, 11 Mar 2009 18:00:17 +0000 http://lungfishopolis.com/?p=609 If you’re an old school gamer like me, you’ve got fond memories of old RPGs like Tales of the Unknown: Volume I: The Bard’s Tale.

Before it was a series, there was the original Bard’s Tale. Nothing like breaking out the graph paper and drawing your own dungeon maps.

Once again, Lungfishopolis has created three resolutions of wallpaper at three different aspect ratios. These attempt to be minimalist and clutter your screen as little as possible.

Enjoy the wallpaper.

Wallpaper Wednesday: The Secret of Monkey Island https://greghowley.com/lungfish/2009/02/wallpaper-wednesday-the-secret-of-monkey-island/ https://greghowley.com/lungfish/2009/02/wallpaper-wednesday-the-secret-of-monkey-island/#respond Wed, 25 Feb 2009 19:00:18 +0000 http://lungfishopolis.com/?p=632

Although I never played any of the Monkey Island games myself, I was a big fan of a few other classic LucasArts adventures: Maniac Mansion and Labyrinth mostly.

Still, I know many folks who’ve loved the Monkey Island games, and I hope this poor attempt at a wallpaper serves them.

Wallpaper Wednesday: Beyond Good and Evil https://greghowley.com/lungfish/2009/02/wallpaper-wednesday-beyond-good-and-evil/ https://greghowley.com/lungfish/2009/02/wallpaper-wednesday-beyond-good-and-evil/#respond Wed, 18 Feb 2009 19:00:22 +0000 http://lungfishopolis.com/?p=637

Since I’m replaying Beyond Good and Evil right now, it seemed an apropos time to create a Beyond Good and Evil wallpaper. As usual, we’ve got three different aspect ratios sure to tickle your LCD’s fancy.

Wallpaper Wednesday: Yars Revenge https://greghowley.com/lungfish/2009/02/wallpaper-wednesday-yars-revenge/ https://greghowley.com/lungfish/2009/02/wallpaper-wednesday-yars-revenge/#respond Wed, 11 Feb 2009 18:00:13 +0000 http://lungfishopolis.com/?p=601 We here in Lungfishopolis were very impressed by the DesktopGaming’s retro gaming wallpapers, and have been inspired. So today, I bring you the first of what we hope will be many retro gaming wallpapers, constructed locally right here in Lungfishopolis.

In a distant galaxy the civilization known as the Yars were attacked by the fierce Qotiles. Though badly damaged, the Yars’ fought back using their mechanical ships that look like giant metal insects. The Qotiles have many laser cannons shielded behind celluloid barriers which are capable of destroying the Yars. It’s up to you to control your Yar ships, dig your way through the shields and fire your powerful Zorlon Cannon into the Qotiles. The enemy is relentless; there are thousands of laser cannons surrounding the people of Yar, each one is capable of firing deadly energy swirls at the Yars. They are also protected with a destroyer missile that will constantly track you down and detonate your Yar ship. It’s up to you to save the Yars, good luck!

Those of us who cut our gaming teeth on the Atari 2600 will remember this game well, and as such it seemed like a good starting point for gaming wallpaper.
