I've been looking for officially released wallpapers for some of my favorite games.
I felt it was the most fitting to start a topic here. Please post whatever you have.
Tiberian Sun
More Command and Conquer
None of those are public domain.
What games are these
Is this too much voodoo?

Command and Conquer: Tiberian Sun and Red Alert
and one Unreal wallpaper
If the wallpaper was distributed freely I don't think there is an issue here. Especially since it is not the wallpaper is being sold. These are essentially promotional images. 🤣

C&C Gold and RA1 both came with complete theme packs not just wallpaper's, I think Tiberian Sun did as well?
All 3 were made freeware and can be downloaded here if you want the "complete desktop experience"

Remember folks, this is NOT just a Command and Conquer thread. This is an 'Officially Released Video Game Wallpapers' thread.
So feel free to contribute.
Or maybe we should drop the "official" and make it a 'General Retro Games Wallpaper' thread?
I don't like mass image posting (especially if they're 1280x1024x24 lossless BMPs from 2000), so I can probably just link this reddit thread of a certain official wallpaper collection of a certain game.

Oh wow. This is really great.
Too bad some of them have the Mac logo on them. I'm not really into Macs. I suppose I could do some erasing in Photoshop.

Back around 2003 the West Brothers had a site touting West Racing and their Racing Legends project. I am not aware that the project ever actually produced a working software product, but they did release a couple of cool Lotus wallpapers at one point (scroll down a bit from the top of the page and you will find 1600x1200 and 1024x768 versions):

As you can see from the aero devices, the model is post-Grand Prix Legends. For its time, it was a remarkably detailed model.
