The screenshot was saved as a .JPEG file, which means it looks very grainy and low quality when viewed up close.

I haven't played Super Metroid in a long time, so if anyone wants to get to that point (it's right at the end) and take a screenshot in .PNG format, then they can do so.

IIRC, it was taken off a You Tube video for lack of having a savefile/state at the ready. (What is with you people and perfectionism....)

Honestly, a damn-near-identical situation comes up right at the beginning of the game, so maybe just use that instead?

Eh, kinda blurry. Here's my stab (ripped from higen/BSNES, although I'm not 100% it's cropped correctly vertically):

I was kinda hoping for a slightly more active shot than that....

Well, I did save a state just before that, so I might be able to fulfill that request.

Although it's kind of a shame that higen doesn't have any built-in snapshot-taking functionality. Kinda surprised at that, actually, it's one of the more basic functionalities to have.

[up][up] Prehaps have Samus running towards the door like in the poor Tourain screenshot, then it would stay constant with the caption.

Clock is set. I'm good with either 4 or 5 but I lean toward 5 for the brightness.

That's a slight improvement.

...maybe without the aiming posture?

I think that adds, actually. This pretty cool Metroid guy points at the time left and laughs because eh doesnt afraid of anything.

I like 11.

If we go with that, could we have something like 14 as the caption?

This "faculty lot" you speak of sounds like a place of great power...

The clock's up. I've chosen to replace the current with 11 as it's the best balance of size, graphics, and dynamics. I've also left the original caption; replace/cull it at your discretion. Locking up.
