    Enjoy!!
  • I'd be all over a Galaga background but these are pretty dope.
  • Got the batman one then edited a little black to see the time :-)
  • I have added a few more games: Rainbow Islands, Chase HQ & Wizball
    I'll have a look and see what the Double Dragon & Contra (Gryzor) loading screens are like on the Speccy & C64. I don't think Galaga or Ninja Gaiden ever made it onto the 8bits.
    Thanks for the comments and for taking a look!!
