When I started this theme, I tried to stick to 16 colours, but after a while I threw that out the window. Instead I made it look more like an old NES game For this reason most of the graphics are very simple indeed. Most elements of this theme were created from scratch by me (see credits below for those things that weren't).

Optional Graphics
Denny8303 has been nice enough to provide some optional graphics for small annoyances, like an overly bright overdrive, and an orange 5th fret if you prefer it to pink.
I would like more pictures for the "Slideshow" stages, and also 8-bit screw up and drum sounds in game. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions for any of this, let me know. Or if you've made your own graphics / 8-bit backgrounds / 8-bit sounds, post them in this thread and I will try and incorporate them into the theme.
Also, 8-bit "icons" for the RB2 setlist have not yet been made.
Finally, please leave any reviews or opinions... and enjoy!
