MYST & RIVEN WALLPAPER TILES |
I
thought it would be pleasant to be able to see images from RIVEN & MYST
when we are not playing the games. Screen capture bitmaps are HUGE to download,
take up computer memory, and don't fill the screen or look good when
stretched, so I have worked at making seamless bitmaps which could be
tiled
as wallpaper for WINDOWS.
These
bitmaps don't look much until they are tiled, as they are specially built
for the purpose. You can't really tell what they will look like, or whether
you will like them until you have tried them as wallpaper, so don't judge
them from the thumbnails - try one or two and see what I mean. I find the
best tiles are often among those that look the least interesting by themselves.
. . and don't be put off by the darkness of some of the images on these pages
- there is a lot of detail in them which you will see when they are
tiled.
Clicking
on a thumbnail picture of a tile will download a ZIPped bitmap (16 million
colours for RIVEN, 256 Colours for MYST). They vary in size and shape (the
thumbnails retain the 'aspect ratio'), and I include the ZIPfile size in
the description. I hope you enjoy them.
NB for people who run their desktop in 256 colours.
Only the MYST tiles will look good for you - unless you play around with
the bitmaps a bit. There are several possibilities. Email me if you want
details.
There are twelve pages of Riven tiles (1-6a).
If you want to look at all the pages, click on 1 below, and then follow them
through. If you have been here before, then click where you want to go.
Several people have asked me to add tiles
from MYST - and so here they are. I'm sorry it has taken me so long to get
around to them - there will be more!
There's some more pages of tiles (jpegs] on different subjects at http://www.rosebush.org.uk. Take a look!
