ORIGINAL: marcuswatney A couple of minor points about the splashes. There is a vertical and a horizontal line in the vicinity of Queensland that need to be removed. And for some reason the Kiel Canal appears, making Denmark look like an island. quote:
ORIGINAL: Froonp I would have liked to see a re-make of the original WiF FE cover, that is the 2 sides of the globe, a BB, a B-17 and a soldier, so see how it could look revamped that way. I am delighted that the original artwork is not being repeated. I have the 1985 box in front of me now and, even after twenty years, it still looks to me like an erect penis and two testicles. Or am I just sick? The vertical and horizontal lines are where the image will be cropped to fit 1024 by 768 monitors. The Kiel canal enlargement is because the map graphic is taken from the game's maps. That is exactly how the Kiel canal appears in the game map. Matrix Games will make the decision about the box art. And I am quite happy to not be involved in that decision. For the Splash screens, I did want to get my 2 cents in, since I feel that they are an integral part of the program and therefore associated with the programmer in most player's minds. I didn't want something that I would be unhappy with for years to come.
