Send me a retro gaming related picture (that you have drawn...) for your chance to win $20!

I was thinking that the prize could be a free game from my collection but then pretty much all of my collection is PAL so most people overseas couldn't use them. (unless you modified your system...)

anyway send in your pics and the winner will be announced at the end of the month!

send your pics to - brad@retrobrad.com

I am positive that old Damo Twisted Evil would gladly forfeit his $20 as a goodwill gesture to Brad who has put in a S**T load of hours on this Fantastic website.. Good on ya Damo you are a champion

sounds like a good idea, ive seen on kim lemons site, people sent in logo designs.

well if anyone has any designs - send them in!

also, if anyone wants to, you could even submit a new site theme.

all you need to do is make a 512x120 pixel image for the top nav bar (heres the image from the funky theme:


and then a 550x138 pixel image for the side bars. (the left and right side bars have the same image, they just display different sides of the image.
heres the pic from the funky theme again:



How do i make these super mario world themes you ask???

well its quite simple.

download the super mario world level editor:
http://www.retrobrad.com/downloads/Game_Editors/lm163.zip

once downloaded, open it up and then open the super mario world rom (which i dont provide)

this program lets you edit super mario world levels. but i used it to make my site!

just enter in a level number to open (the default is 105) and then i just did a screen grab of a part of a level, pasted it into paint and then edited it to how i wanted.

TIP: the level numbers in the level editor are HEX numbers so if you were to count up from level 001, 002, 003, 004, 005, 006, 007, 008, 009 then next level would NOT be 010 but it would be 00A then 00B, 00C, 00D, 00E, 00F then it would goto 010.

if you have any trouble with using any of these editors, let me know!

-brad

Not trying to win anything ( it has nothing to do with retro gaming .. Sorry ), but here is a picture i drew of my hand about a year ago. I drew my thumb a bit too long though Sad I am currently in the process too of trying to retrieve some of my old Amiga Deluxe Paint artwork from around 1991-1993. Hope i can get it all back !?.
