I can't find a certain old Microsoft Plus! desktop theme I once had in 1997 (and no later). It was entirely FF6 based and the wallpaper was the phantom train iirc, and had icons like Terra in esper form as the network neighborhood, and there was a VERY LONG shutdown sound of the phantom train departing. I'm really fond of this theme (especially the color scheme which it was dark purplish colors) and the internet doesn't seem to have it anymore. Whatever turns up in searches is a unrelated 1999-2000 FF6 theme based on the CG artwork from the PSX release.
It was also a theme apparently made in america, since it was titled "Final Fantasy III Desktop Theme" so it couldn't have been done by Butz who by the way made once-popular FF desktop themes in 97-98 which are also all long gone.
This is more for nostalgia and dressing up my older machines rather than for the sake of dressing up Windows with ludicrous eye-candy.
Anyone knows where to get it?
Also, I wonder how they ripped the sound effects of spells and such without the music before SNES emulation matured to that point in time? Wouldn't have been possible with emulation back then anyway since full duplex sound cards were very few and unpopular as well as emulators lacking WAV dumping features.
