Lovely. And I am posting it as an excuse to ask a question...Does anyone know any good sources of retro or retro styled videogame artwork to frame and put on my walls? We're decorating, and we want something cool, geeky, but beautiful.

if its a house, flat or hill side cave dwelling, i wouldnt paint the walls a normal colour, i would want something like that link. you would notice new things every day on it, and its different. that is a goos point, can you get wallpaper with custom pictures on it? bet it would be expensive tho..

I'd love to see a game with this art style..So it's kind of retro, but new. Kind of an isometric rpg but in HD on my ps3. Nice.
I'm really looking for prints of this kind of stuff though. On one wall in my living room, we have these:

www.allposters.com/-sp/The-Invisible-Man-Posters_i374639_.htm
(both 60cmx90cm)
We thought it would be nice to have something gaming related on the other wall....

maybe i should have kids so i have the excuse to buy it. I'm looking for something uber-geeky, but something with a bit of chin-stroking artiness to it.
