Thanks, cu and Dylan! Glad you like them! I think I'm gonna keep the monitors for now (sorry cu! ), but I might try the Eggcrate displays in the future.

I'm working on improving my 1992 "burst" backdrops. Here's a work-in-progress:

You might as well have just taken a picture of it. That's scary accurate.

You and Wheelgenius are known for accuracy, MarioGS. This looks fantastic!

Mario, you truly are a master craftsman! No one can top you (except for Wheelgenius, of course). Can't wait to see the full finished product.

Nice one, Mario. Do you have yellow and blue backdrops? I know you in progress, but I like to see the rest of it.

Glass towers. Although their name reminds me of the fictional Glass Tower in San Francisco, their design reminds me of the Sears Tower.

Mario, that looks wicked cool! Almost similar to the actual things! Now all we need now is the travel board from 1988 to 1995 (or 1996) and we have the 15th season set in full. Otherwise, keep up the fabulous works and can't wait to see future artworks from you!

Great job! How long did the bursts take you to do?

Actually, not as long as I thought. The bursts themselves, I'd say about no more than an hour. I made a vector of the W's out of a few shapes in Powerpoint, then added the colors and effects in Paint.NET.

Mario, what more could I possibly say than the fact you did one heck of a job on the backdrops? Almost reminds me of the SNES game.

I know these backdrops were also used in the 1994 Deluxe Edition for Windows and the SEGA CD version (the SEGA CD version is in my viewpoint the best retro Wheel game I've ever played). They were also used in the SEGA CD's PC counterpart, although they were somewhat beige. I don't know how you'd feel about making one in that color, MarioGS. And, if you could make the contestant towers, I'll bet you could also make the towers between the puzzle board and contestant area. I'm not asking you to do these, but I'm just throwing it out there in case you're interested.

Looks neat! The only thing I would change is the logo in each tile. It should be "greenscaled" so that the colors look uniform, something like this: Just letting you know I stole your tile idea for my puzzleboard. I should have the pictures up at some point.

LOL. I don't mind, but when you say "idea", do you mean the actual tile I did, or the idea of having the logo in the box?
