*Zig made up one for Shadowgate, and it works perfectly
*id's seminal work, the original Doom, added.
*Ys: The Oath in Felghana (awesome game!) added.
*Persona 4 added, per Borsalio's request (I tried a bunch of different screens, in and out of combat/game, but this seemed to work best.)
*Updated the Darius image w/ one from Sagaia (aka Darius 2) to better fit the in-game motif rather than adding elements that wouldn't normally exist in-game, e.g. text where there shouldn't be any.
6-29-2011:
Bad Dudes added, per chevalier's request.
If anyone has an idea for a banner, I'm all ears.
(I'm also open to user-submitted banners BUT you won't be credited--except for in here--since it'll kinda screw the image up.)
Personally, I'd like to see things that are at least a little incongruous-yet-not (hope that makes sense!) at first glance, though a lot of games do not lend themselves to it (thus my problems w/ doing one for PSO).
