Gaming Wallpaper (or, "you know you're an addict when...")
« on: August 24, 2010, 10:35:43 am »
You know you're an addict when the 'Classic Arcade lifestyle' invades your desktop.  I've created this thread to share some of the desktop background wallpapers I have rotating on my system, and wanted to see if anyone else had the 'bug', so to speak.



















Yes, they're large, but they're in native BMP format for full effect!  Post your arcade desktops here!

I have Windows 7 so I can have the desktop wallpaper change every 10 seconds or so, I put all my marquees in a folder and have them rotate.  I use that pacman wallpaper too.

I like those but the forum must've resized them.  Any chance of you posting a zip of them? 

please?   :)

Easy fix - right-click and 'view'.  You'll get the pic in full-size.

Saved for posterity.  I laughed so hard, my co-worker came in to see if I was ok.
