1. auto-action.png — Galaxian / Arcade

2. auto-adult.png — Leisure Suit Larry / DOS

3. auto-adventure.png — Castlevania Advance / GBA

4. auto-asiaticboard.png — Shanghai II / SNES

5. auto-beatemup.png — AvP / Arcade

6. auto-pinball.png — Pinball Quest / NES

7. auto-platform.png — Metroid / NES

8. auto-puzzle.png — Q*Bert / Arcade

9. auto-racedriving.png — Driver / PSX

10. auto-roleplayings.png — Chrono Trigger / SNES

11. auto-shooter.png — Doom / DOS

12. auto-strategy.png — Fire Emblem / GBA

Let me know what you think of them. I'll get started on the next batch.

[anthonycaccese]

These are amazing! Thank you so much. How would you prefer to be credited?

something like "auto-collection genre background art created by @nautipuss"

[nautipuss]

That credit would be great, thank you!

[nautipuss]

I've got the next batch ready.

Firstly, I've replaced the auto-action image with a new one (Gauntlet / Arcade), as I want to use the Galaxian image for the auto-shootemup instead.

1. New auto-action.png — Gauntlet / Arcade

2. auto-board.png — Art of Chess / Amiga

3. auto-breakout.png — Arkanoid / Arcade

4. auto-casino.png — Caesars Palace / SNES

5. auto-casual.png — Warioware Twisted / GBA

6. auto-compilation.png — 51 Clubhouse Games / Switch

7. auto-demo.png — Metal Gear Solid 2 / PS2

8. auto-educational.png — Basic Math / Atari 2600

9. auto-fight.png — Marvel vs. Capcom Clash of Super Heroes / Arcade

10: auto-shootemup.png — Galaxian / Arcade (previously used for auto-action, but better for this genre)

[anthonycaccese]

Awesome, added a credit to you in each of the readme files and have started adding these to the theme. I'll move them into the JELOS version in the next few days. Thank you so much these look great.

Here is the final batch (minus one) of backgrounds. I've never heard of the "reflection" genre. Can you help me out? What games should it contain? It's not selecting any games from my own selection, and Google is of no help.

1. auto-huntingandfishing.png — Super Bass Fishin / SNES

2. auto-musicanddance.png — Dance Dance Revolution Extreme / Arcade

3. auto-playingcards.png — Super Solitaire / SNES

4. auto-quiz.png — Trivial Pursuit / CD32

5. auto-simulation.png — MS Flight Simulator / DOS

6. auto-sports.png — California Games / Atari Lynx

7. auto-sportswithanimals.png — Arlington Horse Racing / Arcade

8. auto-various.png — Trauma Center: Under the Knife / NDS

Hello
I've notice some missing systems for RetroBat.
RetrobatMissingSystems.txt

[anthonycaccese]

@nautipuss it looks like puzzle bobble would be considered a reflection game. I did a search for that genre on screenscraper and that came up so I went with it =)

Let me know what you think. Also wanted to get your opinion of the existing auto-allgames and custom-collection images. was trying to think of a classic pixel based game with a library of some kind.

[anthonycaccese]

thank you @getupor if you have recommendations of popular games for each of those systems that will be a great help to me (it helps save research time trying to find an appropriate game to pull a screenshot from)

[nautipuss]

@anthonycaccese That reflection image works well, I never thought of trying Screenscraper for info.

As for classic games with libraries, the first that popped into my head was the point-and-click Discworld games:

Also, Stardew Valley has a library, and the pixel crop looks great:

I'll let you know if I come up with any others.

[anthonycaccese]

@nautipuss thank you for your work on this - I just added the genre art to the root JELOS theme as well so after the next release your images will be part of that.

[nautipuss]

@anthonycaccese No problem! Happy to get involved.
