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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

Back to the Super Nintendo for some Zelda 3 - A Link to the Past (1991). #4kWallpaper #snes #retrogaming

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)

Police Quest (1987) on the Apple ][, in 4k! The scene doesn't exist in the game, it just uses game graphics. #4kWallpaper #sierra #retrogaming
Assembled from several screenshots on an Apple2 emulator, as well as isolated people/cars from various points in the game all mixed together in one wallpaper, with some cameos from King's Quest and Space Quest.

Adventure (1980) on the Atari 2600. This wallpaper has been enhanced to show where the maze connects to itself seamlessly (without teleporting the player). All of the mazes in this famous Atari game defied physical law like an Escher drawing. #4kWallpaper #retrogaming
Assembled from many screenshots of the game on an Atari 2600 emulator.  The fading colors, title and "EXIT" labels were added following the assembly.

The ruins of Magincia in Ultima IV (1985). (happy 40th birthday, by the way, Ultima4) #4kWallpaper #apple2 #retrogaming
3840x2160 wallpaper assembled from many screenshots of an Apple ][ emulator.  Not enhanced graphics; just assembled with the towne itself, and added-to with the sides. (the viewable area on the UI for Ultima4 was 11 cells by 11 cells)

No King's Quest in your life? This 4k wallpaper can help!.. of course Bluesky downsizes the upload, so you gotta download the free pack from my ad-less website pacati.net to get it in 4k. #retrogaming
Using screenshots of the original King's Quest on the free Apple ][ emulator "Apple2Win" for Windows, this abstract representation of the world map was given a shadowed depth in Photoshop.

Wakka-wakka-wakka-wakka. #4kWallpaper #pacman #retrogaming
A repeating pattern created from level one of the Apple2 version of Pac-Man.  No ghosts nor Pac-Man are here, just the game map.  The middle reads "Player One Ready!"  The wallpaper is 3840x2160 (aka 4k), but Bluesky shrinks it a lot.

Most of these 4k wallpapers are Apple ][ sourced, like this one of Karateka (1984). It was the first game Jordan Mechner published (‪@jmechner.bsky.social‬). He went on to do Prince of Persia. Tell the people! #4kWallpaper #retrogaming
Wallpaper assembled in Photoshop from screenshots of an Apple2 emulator.  Aside from adding a gradient sky, the graphics are unaltered.  The entire game’s map, the girl, the bird, and every enemy can be seen in this wallpaper.

Super #Mario World (1990) for the #snes, in 4k! (3840x2160) #retrogaming #4kWallpaper Since Bluesky downsizes all images, to get the full 4k resolution you gotta download the pack of wallpapers here: pacati.net/geek/graphic... No registration, no ads, no cost, no selection. (warning tho.. slow AF)
Assembled from screenshots of Super Mario World using an SNES emulator.  The black is missing from some of the elements in this wallpaper.  The wallpaper is full of video game hazards.  Um.  There's a big missile with an angry face, many smaller missiles with angry faces, fire, turtles playing american football, man-eating plants hanging upside-down from pipes, naked turtles, dudes riding clouds throwing armadillos at people, lots of other shit too.  Mario is seen flying through the shot with his flying cape.

This wallpaper is Ultima V (1988) with enhanced lighting and a higher resolution. Apple ][ graphics otherwise. #4kWallpaper #ultima5 #apple2 #retrogaming
This was a 1080p wallpaper constructed of daytime screenshots from an Apple2 emulator, then the lit part was created by cutting holes in artificial darkness.  And later the 1080p image was blown up to 4k using nearest-neighbor blending so it stays sharp.

If Joust (1982) had a 4k resolution, it woulda looked like this. #4kwallpaper #atari #retrogaming
An image built in Photoshop using screenshots of the emulator for Atari 2600.  In the real game, there were only about 3-5 platforms on the screen.

Space Quest II (1987) on the Apple ][ was used to make this one. #4kWallpaper #Sierra #Retrogaming
Maybe a dozen screenshots from an Apple ][ emulator, stitched together in Photoshop to create a 4k wallpaper (3840x2160).
