wound up trying my hand at the faction symbols from the new Marathon #pixelart #marathonthegame

silly thought I had this morning #marathonthegame #chronotrigger

Odd that so many of the N64 carts I've done now are fictional ones. #pixelart #n64 #ultimateplaythegame #starglider

pixel art of a white Nintendo 64 cartridge with a black label, which reads "Ultimate Play The Game, The Collected Works" with the Rare and N64 logos below

random idea that came to mind. #pixelart #n64 #marathonthegame #marathonart

pixel art of a grey Nintendo 64 game cartridge, with a white label which reads "Marathon 2864", with the 28 faded to suggest that it's Marathon 64.

A few of these images I've put together have some aspect of them that is a deliberate mismatch. This is one of them. #pixelart #n64 #finalfantasy #ff7

I hope the kanji came out okay. It can be tricky to balance legibility and styling details, especially for characters one's not familiar with. #pixelart #worldofhorror

Pixel art of a black 3½ inch floppy disk, with a white label which reads "JC-1988, JEC, 恐怖の世界, World of Horror, Disk 1, Ysbryd Games"

Last Call BBS, now available for your Sawayama Z5 Powerlance! I can't take much credit for the underlying xHD Microdisc, as it's a fairly direct paintover of the Drive 0 icon from the game. #pixelart #lastcallbbs

pixel art of a fictional storage device (an xHD Microdisc) with Last Call BBS on the label.
The unit resembles something between a large SD card and a minidisc, with a visible platter in a transparent shell, and electrical contacts along one end with a cut corner.

Thanks for letting me know :) I suspected there was no SAM Coupé Cassette 50, which is why I chose to depict one. My streaming layout has a bunch of mismatched retrocomputing elements, so a non-existent version of that infamous tape seemed an appropriate addition to my 'Insert Disk' rotation.

A screenshot of Liv's streaming layout. At the top is an old Mac menu bar with an Atari Fuji in place of the Apple. At the bottom, an old Windows taskbar with the Steam Deck icon on the Start button.
On the desktop are several icons: Workbench42, RAM disk. My Documents, Papierkorb, Oxyd, ChoRenSha68k, OMF2097, Castle1.exe, and Tempest 2000.
Also visible is a Winamp-style media player marked as X Multimedia System, a small green text readout which says 'Insert Coin(s)_', a character clearly based on the dragon sprites from Atari Adventure, and a large blue window titled '[Insert Disk]', depicting a SAM Coupé copy of Casette 50, being held in a white left hand, in front of a dark blue field and some light snowfall.

Along the task bar sits the text "playing: Monk - Vision in your SID [1:48]", which agrees with what the XMMS window says is playing.

trying to reproduce specific typefaces can be tricky. I'm still not 100% happy with the shape of that S #pixelart #floppydisk #atarist #stos

#pixelart #floppydisk

pixel art of a black floppy disk with a black label, depicting a red/orange ball, highlighted at the top left, and shaded at the bottom right, above a series of horizontal bands of varying thickness; broader toward the bottom, narrower towards the top.

a couple of non-disk items this time. the Encom ID here is based on a design from the Tron Legacy 'Flynn Lives' campaign. The original QR code would not fit, but I've substituted a valid QR, encoding a short piece of text. the TNG isolinear chip was a friend's suggestion. #pixelart #tron #startrek

pixel art of a black and red Encom photo id card for Alan T. Bradley, with a QR code next to the photo, a long id number below the name, a seal with the Encom E, and a red band at the bottom which reads Group 7.
the ID number is meant to read 3445325656789-899, though this is not entirely legible due to the resolution.
Scanning the QR code yields the text REINDEER FLOATILLA

pixel art of a cyan isolinear chip, with circuitry visible along its length. The label at the end appears to be numbered 06-5023

This floppy is dedicated to all those cyberpunks who fight against injustice and corruption every day of their lives. #pixelart #floppydisk #snatcher

Ea-nāṣir - it's in the copper

more pixel disks, yay the Descent disk is Wrong, in that I've substituted a rendition of the in-game logo in place of the plain black text of the actual disk, similar to what I've previously done for Nebulus and Photon Storm

Bit of a curveball for this collection, but I thought someone might appreciate it. This is also my first black disk without a grey in the palette; had to fiddle a little to maintain the shape of the shutter
