in Everything Else
So far we have conerstones for Super Mario Bros., Solomon's Key, Pac-Man, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Metroid, Kid Niki, Solar Jetman, Jackal, Fire n' Ice, Blaster Master, Super C, Tetris, and Adventures of Lolo. Let's see if we can get quite a bit more on this round. I'll host it this time, so I'll come up with a really good prize for whomever wins.















The Rules:















1.) Pick any two NES games that you'd like to design a cornerstone graphic for, design, and submit them. Maybe try picking games that were sentimental to YOU. Who better to make a cornerstone?















2.) You can submit more than two cornerstones, and we encourage you to -- the more you submit, the better your chances of winning, and the more we have for the site and everyone to enjoy.















3.) All cornerstones will be posted anonymously by myself before judging begins, so please send them via email to rrburdge@yahoo.com.















4.) All judging will be by the members of the site.















5.) The winner will be announced and will receive a very nice prize! What prize you say? You'll just have to WIN to find out! You won't be disappointed.















6.) The winner can be located anywhere in the world!















7.) The contest begins NOW and all submissions need to be in by Sunday, June 17th at Midnight EST.















Image Requirements:















1.) The file must be in GIF 89a format (transparent, if there's white space).















2.) The image must be 200 pixels wide x 250 pixels tall.















3.) The image must be bottom left justified with any extra space at the top and/or right side (see pic)















4.) The image must have the NintendoAge logo on it somewhere. You can even alter the logo to fit the theme of the cornerstone, so long as you can see it.







Here are some past submissions.

    SWEET!!



    I was supposed to do this contest last month and totally forgot about it. I will for sure make a few and see if I can win again image I hope everyone tries to submit at least 3-5, we need one for every single game guys so we have our work cut out for us.

    I could probably do up a few, but what the hell is "gif 89a" format?
  • jaredkkjaredkk
    What is a cornerstone?  A screen shot from the game?

    It's just the regular gif format.

    Okay, I'll have to do up a few. Thanks Sixy image
  • burdgerburdger
    A cornerstone is the little thing in the bottom left of your screen on NintendoAge, like the little Super Mario Bros. thingy down there now.
  • burdgerburdger
    Cummon guys, let's get some more submissions in. We still have well over 700 more games to make cornerstones for.
  • NationalGameDepotNationalGameDepot
    I have gotten a few started so far, but none finished yet. We have some nice entries so far, so I am hopefully that everyone will try to make at least 2, common guys, it isn't very just, just takes some cut and paste skills.

    That submission #3 up there should be the cornerstone for the forums.
  • burdgerburdger
    That one is pretty cool, isn't it?
  • DainDain
    Holy cow! I had no idea there have been so many submissions! I've been trying to get this stupid site to work lately and have had my head in the sand apparently. I gotta say some of those are pretty damn creative -- so can I submit some too?

  • burdgerburdger
    Sure, submit away! The more the merrier. If we get enough submissions, I may do a first second and third place.
  • BattymoBattymo
    #3 is awesome, but don't forget to eat your BATTY Os!
  • NationalGameDepotNationalGameDepot
    #3 is very creative. I think it should be the default one for the forum for sure. Some very nice ones though, I am glad that we are getting more entries this go around, I need to get busy..... I have 1 done but not submitted yet.

    I've kinda been hounding people to send in submissions, sending random PM's to people to send in submissions.image



    I'm a spammer  
  • burdgerburdger
    This one's turning out to be pretty good. If I get 5 more contestants (not entries) I'll do First, Second, and Third place prizes!
  • NationalGameDepotNationalGameDepot
    #21 is for Dain guys image I know it won't win, plus it is prett easy to tell who made that one anyway since my avatar is all over it, lol. Just for you Dain image

    ~~NGD
  • DainDain
    Laugh it up, ya rat bastiches! I do think that's pretty damn cool and funny at the same time though!
  • BootGodBootGod
    lol @ #21 image



    As for using #3 for the forums, that's a great idea! And since Dain doesn't have enough to keep himself busy, that one could be dynamic and display 8 (or 9) random avatars based whose is currently logged in image

    I'd love to help make some of these, but I have one question. How can I save them in that specific gif format? Can I just make them in normal paint gif format, and send them in and you can just resave them for me, cause I've already started on one. I hope it won't lose it's colors or something.

    2nd image That's a brilliant idea !! (the idea of making the image randomly display avatars of people who are logged in )
  • DainDain
    Armageddon, sure, we can re-save then in transparent GIF format -- don't let that little ol' thing stop ya!



    As for the #3 idea, it's certainly possible, but it requires rendering a dynamic image with Java and would slow the page load even more -- let's wait until we have a new server. I love the idea!
  • burdgerburdger
    Yes, please, send whatever you have potato! If I can't fix it someone can (Dain can).



    Hey Dain, where are your submissions???????????
  • DainDain
    The dog ate 'em image
  • burdgerburdger
    I haven't had any submissions in a few days guys. I'm going to start spamming again if I don't get more soon!
  • burdgerburdger
    Got a few more today, but I haven't had any new contestants. I just keep getting more and more from the same people (not that it's a problem that you guys keep sending more and more, I love it). I still need 5 more contestants before I do a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place prize.
  • Tracer BulletTracer Bullet
    I am still in, will post some tomorrow sometime.
  • burdgerburdger
    Let me know if you like the way I'm displaying the cornerstones now. If not, I'll go back to listing them.
