I would love to see the video!

Even though I have my two games picked out, I can't stop thinking of games and it made a question pop in my head. Can we also use computer games??? I would love to do a scene from Zoo Tycoon this year if I have time or next year.

I am also thinking about making this one if I have time. Yo Noid was always my favorite NES game. I would just make the background blue instead of including the buildings....

I also would like to do Alleyway, as I've gotten a little obsessed with it recently. Would this square be ok?

If so can someone help me out with a pattern please?
That picture wouldn't be good to make a pattern, it's a jpg, so it's been compressed, it would look like garbage if you try to fit it into KG-Chart or PCstitch.

Is it possible for you to get a screenshot directly from the game in .png or .bmp format? I have no idea what console is this game from, but most emulators have a screenshot feature.
Current projects :
Out of commission after surgery until May.

Currently playing : Speed runs of Biohazard HD Remaster

The only requirement is that it be from a video game. Video games are played on computers so I don't see why not! We had a Minecraft square before it was ported to the console.

Yay!!! Thanks!

I'm going to try to use KG Chart today for the first time and make patterns from some screenshots for.the.games I signed up for. Glad that the free software is on the site!

I have another question :) I have never stitched on 16-count, so do you use 2 strands of floss while stitching?

You can use 2 or 3, whichever you feel more comfortable with.

That is up to everyone else. I don't know the game and don't make patterns, so don't know how it would translate.
