If I opened a dispensary, I would call it Starbase 420. The house strain would be Wesley Kusher.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show released on 4k blu-ray today. On a 50" screen, sitting close, it's almost like being back in the theater again (though we had to supply the audience lines).

Applesoft BASIC, because, why not?

While this dungeon doesn't technically exist in Ultima V (1988), it is in essence a collage of most of the dungeon rooms in the game, with a little combat flavoring added.
#4kWallpaper #apple2 #retrogaming
Assembled from dozens of screenshots in Photoshop, screenshots of Ultima V being emulated on an Apple 2 emulator (apple2win). In the center is Lord Blackthorn, surrounded by three Shadowlords. Above that room is the official shot of the party, with Lord British Himself reflected in the mirror.

Space Quest (1986) 4k wallpaper composite image here of the first location you start out at. It's very graphic gory.

This is The Sims Zero. Also known as Little Computer People (1985) for the Apple ][ personal computer. The image has been enhanced with lighting/shading in Photoshop, but otherwise this is the game. One screen for the whole house.
#4kWallpaper #retrogaming #TheSims
In Little Computer People, you take care of an LCP and his dog (the dog is at the bottom left of the screen). You can watch him do his thing, or you can ask him (nicely) to do specific activities. Also, if you don't deliver food to him, his skin turns green and he gets sick. If you leave him like that for a few days, he dies. It's so great.

Dozens of 4k wallpapers for the remastered version of Final Fantasy X (2001) are available for free download here: pacati.net/geek/graphic...

It wasn't my first Final Fantasy by far, but it's always been my favorite. I'm told this is because I'm a simp.
All seven playable characters in the game are seen here. If you haven't played the game, you might not know this, but if you haven't played the game, why are you reading this?

Time Bandits' map of all the holes in the universe. (pity Bluesky limits the pics to 1000x1000 pixels.. this image is actually just under 9k pixels wide)
A completely sensical representation of a completely non-sensical concept: that the universe is full of holes that move around at different times, and can transport you to other holes in history.

I recall SimEarth (1990) was well-known and unpopular in its day.. kinda strange combo. The #SuperNintendo version shown here was harder to play than the Macintosh version I had and loved. If you're into science, it was a lot of fun.
#4kWallpaper #retrogaming
Many screenshots assembled in photoshop of the SNES game SimEarth, where you control a planet's ecology and atmosphere and even core temperature in order to keep a species alive, evolving into sentience and finally blasting off for the stars. Then a new species arises to sentience on the planet after a few billion more years and the game goes on...

I spent over a year solving King's Quest II (1985). I needed the hint book badly- but didn't see the point in one, ultimately.
#4kWallpaper #apple2 #retrogaming
Many screenshots from an Apple ][ emulator are mashed together here to create a pleasant wallpaper in 3840x2160 resolution.

If you see this, quote with a robot that isn’t from “Star Wars,” “Star Trek,” “Dr. Who,” or “Transformers.”

The robot Box from Logan's Run: "It's my job to freeze you."

I made this 4kWallpaper from many Windows screenshots to see how much of the map in SimCity 4 (2003) could be seen in a 4k resolution. A couple years later I converted to MacOS and learned the Mac version of the game runs in 4k natively. Another irrelevant advantage to the Mac!

This game needs a remake. Intellivision had a game called Microsurgeon (1982) that was basically "Fantastic Voyage" without Raquel Welch. You operate a tiny vessel in the body of a dying man, fighting infections, applying drugs, trying to save him. Was really hard, but most of all, different.
The entire game's graphics are seen in this wallpaper, assembled from many screenshots from an Intellivision emulator.

Ultima IV, the hidden village of Cove, expanded beyond the town walls.
#4kWallpaper #apple2 #retrogaming
Ultima4 screenshots were taken and assembled in Photoshop for the main village, then expanded on the sides to fit a wallpaper aspect ratio.

Honesty, Compassion, Valor, Justice, Sacrifice, Honor, Spirituality, Humility, Truth, Love, and Courage.

At least it's still all here.

This game never existed either, but the original coin-op Gauntlet (1985) is enhanced here with a nighttime effect.
#4kWallpaper #arcade #retrogaming
Using a MAME emulator for Windows, many screenshots were taken of the original coin-op Gauntlet and assembled in Photoshop. Then everything was darkened except torches the four players carry.

"Autoduel Fantastique" isn't real, but this enhanced wallpaper uses graphics from Origin Systems' "Autoduel" (1985) exclusively.
#4kWallpaper #apple2 #retrogaming
Cars fight each other with weapons in this 4k wallpaper, a la Mad Max and the tabletop game Car Wars. Graphic elements from Autoduel were isolated and placed in this wallpaper, then lighting effects were added.

Broderbund's Wings of Fury (1987) in 4k!
#4kWallpaper #apple2 #retrogaming
Scene created in Photoshop using graphic sprites from the Apple ][ version of the game, with the exception of the gradient background (it was normally solid black).

Back to the Super Nintendo for some Zelda 3 - A Link to the Past (1991).
#4kWallpaper #snes #retrogaming
Assembled from many screenshots taken on an SNES emulator, and enhanced depth-wise in Photoshop. Link, our hero, is seen getting mugged by some random forest guy. Aren't you glad you read this?

In the heart of a vast mountain range is "Stonegate", aka house of the Shadowlords, in Ultima V (1988). About a third of my wallpaper collection is Ultima 4 or 5. It's a fetish, maybe.
#4kWallpaper #Apple2 #retrogaming
The center area/structure was assembled from many Apple ][ emulator screenshots. The outer mountains were added by me, but the only actual enhancement to the original graphics is the wavy darkness effect. Oh, and the resolution, of course. (standard game window: 11 tiles by 11 tiles)
