I thought I'd make a good theme for this fun shoot-em-up in the style of the game's flyer. The matching wheel is in the theme zip. Enjoy!

The existing theme for Tank Busters features an assortment of aspect ratio crimes (which drive me nuts), so I created a new one. 😁 The alternate wheel is in the theme zip too.

Theme by unknown author + Johnfreitassousa44197812's theme = this mashup! I love the background in the former theme and the foreground in the latter, so I thought I'd merge them and animate the end result. Thanks, guys!

I love CHoRNy's theme concept for this, but that 32X cockpit had to go. I replaced it with the proper arcade cockpit and animated it and the TIE fighters, and gave the video a border to make it fit in a little better. I've included a wheel image to match the logo in the theme, because it annoys me to no end when my wheels don't match their themes.

Rockman 2: The Power Fighters - rockman2j (MAME) Make sure get mushrooms and downloaded themes, Enjoyed.

Cross another theme off the missing list! It's a real shame this game never made it past the prototype stage, because mashing up pinball with Arkanoid elements is kinda genius. Like so many other games on the missing list lately, I was compelled to design this one from scratch. The in-game logo has a neat look, but proved to be virtually impossible to upscale and still look good. So, I made a whole new one. I hope you like it! As usual, the assets I used and the new wheel are included. (Side note: After the roller coaster of a month I've had, it's been nice to occupy my brain with fun themes. A few weeks ago, my workplace burnt to the ground, and on Monday, we were sold to another company. It's been a challenge, navigating the chaos lately. I'm just thankful I still have a job. Whew.)

Another theme mash-up! srfran's theme has a nice layout, while CHoRNy's theme has a great logo and background. Put them together, smooth out the characters, and a solid theme is born. I also included a clean wheel from CHoRNy's theme logo.

Namco Rapid River Video Theme (Mame 0.271)

Fun Robin Hood-themed Snow Bros. clone that doesn't appear to have any marketing materials at all, so I made a theme from scratch in the spirit of the game. I've included a zip with the assets I used, and the new wheel is in the theme zip as well. Game on! 🍎

This theme sprang to life because the game's logo is 💩. Haha. I was going to replace it with the recreated logo that's on the web, but decided that one isn't much better. One thing led to another, and I ended up making a whole new theme from scratch, because I'm just picky like that. As usual, I've included the assets, and the new wheel is in the theme zip. Enjoy! P.S. She's got flippers... get it? 🤣

I liked the look of RenegadeAngel's theme for Time Scanner, but I saw an opportunity to animate it in a fun way. So I did! The flippers flip, and the pinball bounces around. I also reworked the logo to be horizontal and revised the look of the background and video as well. The horizontal wheel is in the theme zip too.

As far as I know, no 4:3 theme exists for this game, only 16:9. So, I made one. 😁 And it ended up taking an absolute age to complete, thanks to the only quality artwork available being the game's marquee. Carefully cutting out complex objects is very time-consuming. Heh. A better-quality wheel is in the theme zip as well. Enjoy!

Air Rescue - arescue (MAME) (16:9)

I'm such a sucker for video pinball games... well, pinball in general if I'm honest. Hehe. I've included the slightly revised wheel image to match the theme as well.

Ring King - ringking (MAME) (4:3)

Another looooong overdue proper theme for an all-time classic game. I remember playing this game to death at a very sketchy convenience store near my dad's shop each time I'd go there when I was a kid to mow the yard and do other child-labor stuff. 🤣 A proper wheel and large logo are included in the theme zip.

srfran's theme is great, but needed some tidying up and the Tecmo logo added, so here's the cleaned-up theme. A better-quality wheel image is in the theme zip.

I wanted to give the forgotten child in the Pac-Man series some long-overdue love. The game video fades into the chalkboard's space. The matching wheel image is in the theme zip. Thanks to Eraser_arcade for the classroom idea!

"I know!" I know! Let's make a Mortal Kombat wrestling game! It'll be a huge hit!" - a Taito dev, probably. 🤣 A cleaner version of the wheel is in the theme zip.

I have a much older anonymously-created theme in my collection for this game that uses the flyer's goofy artwork. I didn't care much for it, so I use the game's cool marquee artwork and made a whole new theme. I've included the proper wheel image in the theme zip, as usual. Enjoy!

This amazing game has been screaming for a proper theme for an absolute age. (Since I added it to the Theme Request List in 2012, in fact!) 😬 So, here's a proper theme for it. Hope you like it! I've included a proper horizontal-format wheel and large-format logo in the theme zip as well.

I really dig Mykillvee's Wing War theme, but I thought it could use some additional animation and refinement to really make it shine. So, I added P-38 and P-51 fighter planes flying around the screen and tweaked the video frame to match the game logo. I've included a matching game wheel in the theme zip too.

Iron Meat is a fast-paced, run-and-gun shooter that immerses players in a world overrun by The Meat--an all-consuming interdimensional biomass. Iron Meat.mp4

The textured background of this game's flyer scrolls by and the player's ship hovers over the full-screen video like it's flying. I love how flexible and versatile the various animation settings are in HyperSpin. You can do nearly anything with a little creativity.

16: 9 Theme + Wheel + Video

Used Bionic Commando theme by zomboided . Created this one to match the Top Secret Theme. 4:3 Theme + Wheel Slowed down animation a bit. Images have been upscaled. Updated logo to read Bionic Commando.

I've wanted to adapt Skywatcher's 16:9 theme for Vimana to 4:3 for a long time, so I did... and I ended up more or less remaking the thing. Haha. The things we do for this great hobby. Oh, and the matching wheel is in the theme zip. 😁

Dolphin Blue Large Logo's & Assets. I spent a lot of hours on the logo's more than I should have even zooming in to individual pixels as I love this game. 2 logo's with artwork combined I found searching so included those along with character artwork & a gif of the injured & my 2 versions of the logo. Happy theme creating & enjoy ! Agard is not on downloaded logo's. Thanks to original content creators.

I made this theme from Indian Battle they came out in 1980. Enjoy this theme

16:9 Theme + Wheel

I thought the time was well past for a proper theme for this Capcom multiplayer classic. Thanks to Oscarino1 for the very cool animated mercenary!

I thought I'd adapt jesfknkrys' 16:9 aspect theme for Tough Turf to 4:3. I did some tidying up and added some animation as well.

I'm a huge racing game fan. Yes, even super-ugly GREEEEEN ones like Monte Carlo. 🤢 Haha. The cleaned-up wheel is in the theme zip. Enjoy? lol

Even prototype Arkanoid clones are worthy of inclusion in your setup, right? Ball-and-paddle games are so fun. Omega has a nicely done (probably homemade) flyer, so I used that for this theme. I've included the alternate wheel in the theme zip as well.
