Ready for the ride?

 

 

 

Let me take you back to that 80s / early 2000s retrogaming vibe, when every theme felt like a playground and everything was still waiting to be discovered.

These themes won’t necessarily be for everyone. Some have a very distinctive style, sometimes a bit wild. But I’m sharing them exactly as they are, without any retouching, because that’s where everything began. These are the first steps of a journey that would later grow into much bigger projects.

And honestly… with all the gloomy news we keep hearing these days, a little nostalgic escape can’t hurt.

So come along.

Let’s rewind the cassette, switch the arcade machines back on…
and revisit the very first steps of this adventure.

And who knows… you might already spot, in these early themes, the first seeds of what would eventually become my custom big box Nostalgic Bedroom. 🎮

_________

I’ve made a lot… and I mean a lot of these over the years.
Give me a little time to properly archive everything, and I’ll put together a massive zip pack for you. Something that really brings the thunder.

Thank you man, that’s really kind of you. But be careful not to compliment me too much, it wakes up the trolls, lol. Just kidding.

It’s the kind of sentence that reminds you of something simple but profound: on the internet, creations live much longer than we imagine. A theme posted ten years ago can still end up in someone’s hands today, spark an idea, a vocation, or simply the desire to tinker with a frontend.

In retro communities, it’s even more true. Projects circulate, get remixed, inspire other setups and other interfaces… and after a while you don’t even know who inspired who anymore. It’s a bit like an old cartridge being passed around between friends and ending up in ten different houses.So yeah, it’s just a comment, but it made me want to share a couple more.I’m posting two more themes. I’m a bit embarrassed because some of them haven’t aged very well . they’re about ten years old after all. But if a few of you enjoy them, then that’s great.

It also shows the very beginning of my work and creations. I started exactly like many of you I didn’t really know what I was doing back then. It was a lot of tinkering: editing, layering things together, green screens, basic compositing… nothing very professional at all.So it definitely doesn’t represent my current skills, but honestly I don’t mind sharing it. At least it shows where it all started. I’m not going to pretend my early work didn’t exist.

Launch themes are pretty rare anyway. There aren’t that many around. Back then I really enjoyed making them. It was pure imagination — I was just letting my creativity run wild.
