Original PlayStation memory card icons are really small — only 16 pixels square! That’s awfully tiny for today’s screens so I’ve created 2 versions of each icon: one at 32 pixels that is closer to the original size and a much larger one at 256 pixels

FUN FACT
The Contender series (Kensei: The King of Boxing [EU, JP], Contender, Victory Boxing Challenger [EU, JP], Contender 2) is all over the place when it comes to publishing and localization despite being developed by pretty much the same team. I don’t think I’ve seen a series yet that varies so wildly from region to region on style and presentation — apparently all the way down to its memory card icon variety
