Beautiful, Nostalgic Screenshots

I stumbled upon the Flickr account of [kodama_SS], and was thoroughly amazed by their Photoshop handiwork. Nostalgic feels ensued. Peruse the beautiful images [here].

Some examples:

Pure gold.

Very cool. Too bad they're not wallpaper sized. :3

Actually if you go on the flickr link above, some of 100+ images have sizes of up to 1600x900, although I don't think any of them are anywhere near 1080p or higher.

Some are 1080p. Like the first lala one the OP posted.

those pictures are amazing
the author manage to transform a static screenshot into live

Holy crap.. those are amazing. SE should use them.. lol

For SE to use SE's own work? I think it would be copyright infringement if whoever made them tried to explicitly make money off them lol.

Not that i'm a lawyer so..
