An early concept for the Next Gen Enterprise bridge by Andrew Probert. How weird would it have been to have the conference table on the bridge? And funky booth seating either side of the viewscreen??
Loads more concept art here:

My name is Maarva Carassi Andor. I’m honored to stand before you. I’m honored to be a Daughter of Ferrix, and honored to be worthy of the stone. Strange, I… feel as if I can see it. I was six, I think, first time I touched a funerary stone. Heard our music, felt our history. Holding my sister’s hand as we walked all the way from Fountain Square. Where you stand now, I’ve been more times than I can remember.
I always wanted to be lifted. I was always eager, always waiting to be inspired. I remember every time it happened, every time the dead lifted me… With their truth. And now I’m dead. And I yearn to lift you. Not because I want to shine or even be remembered. It’s because I want you to go on. I want Ferrix to continue. In my waning hours, that’s what comforts me most. But I fear for you. We’ve been sleeping.
We’ve had each other, and Ferrix, our work, our days. We had each other, and they left us alone. We kept the trade lanes open, and they left us alone. We took their money and ignored them, we kept their engines churning, and the moment they pulled away, we forgot them. Because we had each other. We had Ferrix. But we were sleeping. I’ve been sleeping. And I’ve been turning away from the truth I wanted not to face.
There is a wound that won’t heal at the center of the galaxy. There is a darkness reaching like rust into everything around us. We let it grow, and now it’s here. It’s here, and it’s not visiting anymore. It wants to stay. The Empire is a disease that thrives in darkness, it is never more alive than when we sleep.
It’s easy for the dead to tell you to fight, and maybe it’s true, maybe fighting is useless. Perhaps it’s too late. But I’ll tell you this… If I could do it again, I’d wake up early and be fighting these bastards… from the start.
Fight the Empire!
One of the things I set up two years after I first left Tumblr was an adventure games backgrounds archive:
https://helmet.kafuka.org/backgrounds/
It contains backgrounds, in the most original state available — rips, not screenshots. None of these are stitched together, none have sprite elements that simply cannot be removed in post, and all of them have their original color palettes where applicable.
We’ve got SCUMM games, seventeen of them, which is all but the many Humongous Entertainment releases.



We’ve got SCI games, my personal favorite so that’s to be expected, at 57 different releases.




Of course if you have SCI, you gotta have AGI too, and it’s a full set again at thirteen items.



We even have some Coktel Vision and Westwood games, but those are technically very challenging to extract and I wouldn’t want to put up incomplete games.


So drop on by, see if any interesting details stand out to you.
