Good suggestion, thanks, but you wouldn't want to overload the caption
entry
with too much text. Also, I don't have control of the fonting or where
it
would go (lower center). And most of the photos *I* don't even know what
games they were from. A lot of the images I have are listed like
"eccII-208.jpg".

I took those that were best in focus. A lot of the GD images (that I
recognized as GD shots) were somewhat out of focus.

Also, a lot of the images in the earlier archives are of low resolution,
restricting what I can use in larger format without getting pixellated.

I'm always up for suggestions, submissions, etc. Feedback is always
good,
and if I can find a way to improve things from it, I will.
