    I think a lot of people are confused about what "old school" games are... I don't think using a new render (aka 3D Donkey Kong and Samus, and even the new Terminator one) should be counted. When I hear old school, I usually think SNES and Sega days, and before....

    Yeah....when I hear old school...I think of like original mario games on the SNES or something like that

    Maybe there should be a list of what consoles are allowed?

    Just a thought

    Bingo.

    Systems allowed:
    Game boy
    Nintendo
    Super Nintendo
    Atari
    Sega
    etc

    Newer renders aren't allowed, thats the point of creativity in this weeks SOTW.

    This SOTW theme really sucks... since they had Marvel theme I think DC Comics should also be a theme...you know Batman Superman etc... ALso a human theme like celebs, or hot babes :D or idols(your personal idol) or something like that....

    Why should we waste our time trying to explain this to you, when its been posted twice now?

    Look at the second post in the SOTW entree thread:
    http://www.gamerenders.com/forum/index.php...dpost&p=1439106

    It quite clearly saids no new renders for those games, thats the 'challenge' of this weeks SOTW. You can also refer to the first page of this topic, a few post down for the same exact post.

    Learn to read, then we wouldn't have a problem :)

    No, it was like that since the first post.....Which is why I made my post about how people are confused about renders. Maybe it's just me, but common sense tells me that when an "Old School" theme is in effect, "New School" renders of Old School characters doesn't count.
