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
Wikipedia tells the story more succinctly than I ever could: Thrill Kill is a cancelled fighting video game developed by Paradox Development for the PlayStation. Reviewers of the beta version of Thrill Kill considered it fun but unfinished. The game was scheduled to be published by Virgin Interactive, but Electronic Arts gained the publishing rights the same year [1998] and chose not to release the game or sell it to other publishers due to its graphic content.
Following its cancellation, Thrill Kill was reskinned to make the 1999 Activision video game Wu-Tang: Shaolin Style, also developed by Paradox, who went on to use Thrill Kill’s engine in several of their other games.
OTHER ICONS
This especially vague category includes anything that I’ve found on this journey that doesn’t come from a retail product: unreleased games, developer samples and tech tools, demo discs, system level utilities, and more. These won’t be included in the regional categories for North America, Europe, and Japan. Look for more mysterious icons on this dedicated page
