This guy on DeviantArt has (apparently) painted high-quality scenes from some of the greatest SNES-era video games as desktop wallpapers. Mario, Sonic, Metroid, Legend of Zelda, Megaman, etc. are all represented.

The land is gone, but society rebuilds the city on top of existing structures, connecting buildings through a network of sky bridges… To meet the upper city’s demand for laborers, city leaders contract the Brooklyn Institute of Technology (B.I.T.) to clone a new working class….
