What game would you like to see coloured next? - Stern Edition

[Terranigma]

I thought it would be fun to make a poll for all the outstanding games that have yet to be coloured. Sometimes creators have the real pin, sometimes they do their favourite game and sometimes they are stuck for ideas! Pick your favourite title from the list that you would like to see coloured next. This will give others ideas for the future. 

Let's start with Stern and see how it goes.

 

If you're thinking about colouring a game yourself check out the master list here:

I voted for nascar.

 

The dots in this game are so basic the artist would probably be done in a single afternoon.  It blows me away how stern totally forgot about the dmd on this game as the graphics look like they were done in MS PAINT, by a 6 yr old....

This is the kind of feedback I was hoping for. That's a great place to start for someone wanting to try their hand at colouring a game.

Tbh this game would be prime for full scene replacements. 

 

There are so many good nascar racing highlights that could be digitized... even if they were still monochrome, it would be a huge upgrade for the nascar pinball game.

 

How the dot artist got paid and couldnt figure out how to draw a car in more than 2 dimensions blows my mind.  

 

It totally shows how digital artists moved on from the height of the 90s doing dot art to the mid 2k, where cost cutting took a hold on the games...and dot art had progressed to other forms instead of gameboy like styles of art.

Doesn't Star Trek already have a color ROM patch?

For Vpin it does but a lot of PB required games for real pin don't have enough free memory to completely patch the rom. You end up with an incomplete file with missing scenes/parts. Eventually the goal will be to have all games coloured with the Pin2dmd editor as these limitations do not exist with that method, nor do you have to patch the rom, use a serial cable or any other modifications.

Also Sharkky who has done so many of these (which are great!) has been MIA for quite some time now and these files are very old and some are not even available anymore.

Understood. The Pin2dmd files are a lot easier to use than the ROM patches.
