Hey folks! Part of our efforts to renovate the sites and update them to be more modern and up to date with what browsers are capable of, we've made some changes to the way in which our game icons work. We've been working to get these going for a while now and we're finally able to show them off!

These new icons introduce some important improvements to usability:
1. While the images themselves are larger, the border is now separated. This means the site only has to load the CSS to display them.
2. Game titles are now added to icons from the site's database, making icon submissions easier (you only need to submit the image part), as well as the ability to use your browser's built-in search to find a game on a long page. It also makes editing MUCH less tedious for us!
3. The larger size means we can fit more in the icon without cropping, leading to better representations of the games without even needing to read that new text.

If you spot any icons that are wrong, or any other problems, please do report them to me. I'd really appreciate that! You can email us, tweet me, post on the forum, or leave a comment! :)

I was going to complain that the icons still look exactly the same, until I realized we were talking about GAME icons and not SHEET icons.
Went to a random page of snes sheets and wowee! Those icons are HUGE! :D

I do have to say, some of the new icons could have a bit of a more action-y feel to it or feel slightly more busy. Most of the icons you made for a lot of the Breakout games I made sprites from don't show a lot going on.

i did notice that the Bravoman icon had the arcade version as opposed to the TurboGrafx version. It's a bit of a nitpick, but if someone puts up an arcade sheet of Bravoman, I think differentiation would be handy.
