Background Blitz :: March 7 - 21, 2004 - OVER

Darth Mandarb · Sun 07/03/2004 21:18:17

Subject : FAMOUS MOVIE BACKDROPS
Size: 320x200
Colors: 256 (or less)

That's right, pick a scene from a movie and re-create it adventure game style! The scene doesn't have to contain any characters from the movie ... but that certainly wouldn't hurt!

The only suggestion I have would be to pick something more mainstream just so it'll be more widely recognized. It's not a requirement, but people would probably vote for something they recognize over something they don't.

Examples:[color=0000AA]
Jabba's Palace from Return of the Jedi
The airport good-bye scene from Casablanca
The bridge from Star Trek
The bicycle in the moon from ET[/color]

Something like that.

I'm working on an entry myself ...

Happy Blitzing.

I vote for cpage's entry, it's awesome!
All the others are great too, and darth's is stunning (it isn't participating though, is it?).

Nacho · Mon 22/03/2004 13:06:18

Fizz, tecnically perfect... But I recognise my ignorance about which film is it.

DGMacphee · Mon 22/03/2004 14:20:36

Fizz -- It's spot-on!

Fizz · Mon 22/03/2004 18:04:21

I know the vote of a n00b only counts as half a point, but my half point goes to Fizz. Now make the game!!!

Both the book and the movie are awesome!
