Ok, maybe screen 2 should be exchanged with screen 1 then, for being more representative of the "on planet/ground" gameplay.
Makes absolute sense for the Arcade launcher, too, considering the first screen's size.
Ok takes short notes. I guess I'll be getting the hang of it sooner or later.
@nietzsche666 Actually, while we're at the subject, another thing is that "screen1" should ideally be a representative image of the gameplay (because in some contexts, maybe only screen1 is shown).
So the guideline for what to put as screen1 should really be: "If you could only choose one screenshot for this game, what would that be?".
(The screenshots do not have to be in cronological order or anything).
And likewise, if the game has varied gameplay, it's nice if screen2 shows that variation, in case only two screens get displaced.
Anyway, these are not hard rules, and maybe not even written down -But sounds like a good idea to me!
@nietzsche666: the cropped ones from fs-uae sometimes work "out of the box". but there is no rules without exceptions . if there is no black borders or parts in black on top or bottom they are just fine. if they have balck areas you need to crop these black areas away. its just a matter of experience. i rememebered well when i started to contribute screens, many of them were discarded because they didnt qualify in the "rules" but over time i learned what has to be cropped away and now many of my screens are accepted. and also yes its always better to create your own screens then just copy & paste them from somewhere else. but dont worry, if you are not certain how to deal with certain shots, just upload them and someone will "correct" them and if you keep the one you have uploaded you can compare them and see how it works. as i said just a matter of own experience

Of course. I think I did upload 5 screenshots originally but I assume two were deleted coz they were from Atari ST mobygames screenshots.
The ST pictures look the same as Amiga screens, but I completely understand that they were probably taken down for that reason. I hadn't read the instructions that carefully at that time, sorry for that.
I will probably just take my own screenshots from FS UAE and upload them again.
@nietzsche666 : it does look out of order because you missed 2 screenshots
ideally you should contributre a title screen + 5 ingame screenshots. i know the arcade laucher shows only 4 screenshots and even worrse the fs-uae launcher shows only 3 screens when running windowed. but for people using the launcher in fullscreen with 1080p or higher resolution any entry with just 3 screens look halfbaked.
but still nice to see you contributing on the amiga side

Yes, I probably reject a couple of screenshots for a reason I can't remember and forgot to make a note of it here :P
But the new screens are great, thanks

The screenshots show up in incorrect order in Launcher/Arcade.Third window is empty, fourth shows a shot again. Correct order would look better.
