Due to the popular demand of one reader, we are bringing this thing back. This one is going out to all you jungle fans. Big up Swindon. Big up Northampton. Big up ALL junglists, in fact.

SONIC DESKTOP #7: “HAVING A SWINGIN’ TIME!”

It was the below tedious list of HTML links to the previous entries that stopped us doing another one of these for so long.

PREVIOUSLY, ON GREATEST SONIC DESKTOPS:

“UNDERWATER CRISIS!”

“SAFE LANDING FROM ROBO CHAOS ZONE!”

“I’M COMING TO GET YA!”

“MUST… KILL… SONIC THE HEDGEHOG!”

“YOU CAN’T STOP ME THIS TIME, SONIC!”

“I’VE GOT YOUR BACK, SONIC!”

Day three. We didn’t specify how many other days would be between the relevant days. You need the patience of Terry Waite to get through this. Estimated time of next Sonic desktop upload: May 2009. Unlike most of our ‘content’ these days, though, at least this is worth it.

SONIC DESKTOP #3: I’M COMING TO GET YA!

Click on it for the full-size original. You’ll have to do your own resizing and cropping and whatever, as even opening up Photoshop is a bit of a chore for us these days.

PREVIOUSLY, ON GREATEST SONIC DESKTOPS:

“SAFE LANDING FROM ROBO CHAOS ZONE!“

“UNDERWATER CRISIS!“

We’re really dragging this out. You’re getting one a week, and you’d better be grateful. We expect emails of thanks. At least 50 a day, and half of them had better be from girls. Maybe we’ll do two over Christmas, as that means we can have a day off trying to think of something to do.

SONIC DESKTOP #2: SAFE LANDING FROM ROBO CHAOS ZONE!

Click on it for the full-size original. Enjoy the beauty of art that just doesn’t get made any more, and that hasn’t got soldiers in.

READER SUBMITTED ALTERATIONS:
A reader ‘hacked’ our last Sonic desktop image to create these nice cut-out versions with lots of blank space for lining up icons in. They’re quite nice, and we’re hoping he does the same with today’s update:

1920 x 1200 widescreen

1600 x 1200 non-widescreen

Someone only went and ‘came through’ with the goods. We now have, sitting here in a MAXIMUM SECURITY PASSWORD PROTECTED ZIPPED FILE on our PC (backed up on two independently located memory sticks in case of hard drive failure), the world’s greatest collection of hi-res, Mega Drive era Sonic The Hedgehog artwork.

This is day one of a desktop image campaign that will run for a decade:

SONIC DESKTOP #1: UNDERWATER CRISIS!

Click on it for the full-size original. It’s not quite big enough to fill a whole hi-res desktop, so you’ll have to do your own cropping and resizing. We suggest adding a subtle black border down the side, perhaps.
