Maybe give that text some kind of box/text shadow to make it more easy readable?

Yeah that could work, as long as it doesn't make the rest of the text background look weird, especially how it might make the games too dark in the background. Maybe the text could be cut in half so shadows are only applied to the right part.

Also, another idea I had for Nspire color games: Maybe try to increase the contrast between dark and light colors, so that they are easier to see. A lot of Nspire games use colored bgs instead of white and very light colored floor/ceilings, so when converted to very dark grayscale it looks quite faded compared to 8x screenshots.

Yeah it looks pretty great right now. Of course later if you can ever managed to re-add Zelda DLQ and Metroid II: Evolution screenshots (Kraid?) and the Fx-9860GII and CP400 calcs it would be a nice bonus. :P

Banner update idea:



It's a bit rushed, but I managed to move TI-Boy elsewhere (right next to the black guy's eye that seemed cut-off) to make space for the HP Prime. I didn't add the ClassPad 400 yet, though, due to lack of programs and support for it (thanks to its slowness). An FX-9860GII behind the rest of the calcs wouldn't hurt, though.

So wait, we are updating the person who enforces that BANTS?!

*hides

Kidding, the banned looks good. The only thing is which calc deserves most to be at the front of the montage?

Bants? ???

Also the HP Prime is the only calc on which you can program fast games without having to learn something other than BASIC. :P

cool! i'll have to stick the hp-prime in there somehow, then. that seems like a good spot for it.

Thanks. :D I was kinda busy so I didn't do this earlier, but I felt it would be a nice addition, considering all calcs we show there are TI/Casio. It kinda made our site like if it didn't care about HP lol.

Of course, TI calcs dominates the banner, but two are in the background and the color ones are mostly there due to being recent and popular.

Hm, that particular prime screen looks kinda clumsy IMO, no idea why.

Also, just look how many color calcs there are now in the banner :O

Yeah, I agree. But the idea is a good one, tho. Let's wait until DJ_O has some more spare time to improve it, he can do a lot better for sure! ;)

The best would be some different game, but sadly that is the only Prime game available for now D:
