So you just want the leaves on the top of the user interface? Move the map into an area that's not grassy, so you can get a high-contrast image, and then use a magic want tool to select and delete the things above it, in order to get the UI alone. As for removing the things below the leaves, that might require some manual tracing using the lasso tool.

If you're lucky, you might find the interface graphics in some kind of accessible format in the game's folders?
Magic wand and lasso are very common terms. If you want to talk about image editing, you need to learn

I highly suggest all of you guys go out and get FTL: Faster Than Light (it's a redundant title, I know). It's a commercial coffee-break roguelike-like that takes place in space and puts you and your crew through some Star Trek-like adventures. You travel from sector to sector, system to system, constantly hounded by the evil rebel forces. Much of the game is spent desperately trying not to die as you order your crewmembers around the ship to their various stations so they can man the computers, put out fires, fight back invaders, and repair systems. In true roguelike fashion 9/10 you'll end up killing off your entire crew.
The game is crazy replayable. The known universe that you travel through is randomized through every game session and the adventures/quests you go through in each sector are also randomized and there seem to be a fair variety of things to do.
If you need some further convincing let me tell you about my most recent play-through on the New Dawn, a Federation starship that met its early demise against a force of Mantis space-warriors. Low on fuel, ammunition, but not on foolhardy courage, Captain Ohm of the New Dawn flew his starship into an uncharted nebula in a Mantis controlled sector. Now, let me tell you two things about the Mantis:
1) They are mean
2) Their whole history has turned them into sociopathic warriors with a disregard for most life
3) Most Mantis are pirates
Keeping those three things in mind you won't be too surprised to find out that the nebula Captain Ohm flew into turned out to be the base of a particularly nasty group of Mantis pirates. Immediately after jumping into the sector the New Dawn was fired upon by the Mantis who, despite the sudden appearance of our brave protagonists, hardly missed a beat before throwing up their shields and flinging everything they could at Captain Ohm & co..
Like any captain worth his salt, Captain Ohm ordered his two officers, Jupiter Rose and Pat Starboom, to their stations in the shields room and weapons room respectively. Little did Ohm know that the Mantis had already boarded the ship, but how could he have known? Without special, expensive equipment flying into a nebula means you cannot see the going-ons in most of your ship.
Within seconds Jupiter Rose was cut down by the Mantis pirates, but Pat beat a hasty retreat into the Medbay were he was able to kill the single Mantis warrior who chased after him. The other two pirates, however, made their way to the aft of the ship where they found the oxygen control room. Ever devious, the Mantis set the oxygen room ablaze and doubled back to the weapons room where they began to trash the systems, rendering the New Dawn unable to defend itself.
By this point Captain Ohm had made his way to the medbay and Pat had hopped himself up on stims and painkillers. Together the twowho collectively represented the Federation's last hope against its rebel conquerorsmade their way into the weapons room where they valiantly fought and killed the Mantis invaders. But it was too late.
The fire from the oxygen room had spread to the engine room and from the engine room it traveled to the shields room and from there the door control room. With literally half he ship on fire protocol would see Captain Ohm preform an emergency override of the door controls to open all the ship's doors, including the airlock. The damage sustained by the door control room prevented any remote operation, and coupled with the blazing fire the two men had only one option: put out the fire in the oxygen room and repair its controls as quickly as possible before all the ship's air ran out.
On their way to the New Dawn's aft the ship sustained a major blow from a Mantis predator missile, causing the hallway Ohm and Pat were in to rupture. In just a blink of an eye both men were sucked out into the black void of space. Shortly thereafter the New Dawn's hull crumpled in on itself and exploding, leaving behind debris and shattering the Federation's last chance at survival.
^^^That all took place in the space of 5 minutes. Go buy the game! It's $9.00 and on steam, gog.com, and the developer's homepage.

There's a space open in my NES now that the doctor has dropped out. Procell is open for anybody who wants to play as him.

Can't log onto mibbit. Says something about two connections on my IP or somesuch. Any help?
GalaxyNES Update 26 is up, after a long hiatus. I intend to resume updating this NES, as I really love it and the setting its players have created. I welcome anyone and everyone interested in a space-themed story NES to check it out, or to talk to me if they're interested in taking part.

Mischief?
hide the map in spoiler tags Iggy, it's distorting the text.
good update, by the way. writing up a story now.

Your screen has a lower resolution than mine. Very well, I'll spoiler the maps from now on, as they're only going to get bigger.
And merciary, I welcome more species.
Self seems like something that would be fine just staying on its own, not bothering anyone- and that doesn't sound very much like a NESer at all.

Why has this died?
I was eager to preread other updates and stories. I was ready to let others do the same for me. Why did it die?

After a little tussle with Mantis Pirates just above a red giant, a homi-suicidal bunch at the best of times, Engines Officer Iggy is trapped at the back of the vessel, mostly-burned to death and caught between a raging, solar-flare induced engine fire and the cold vacuum of space. The fire has spread into the Oxygen Generation room, burning wildly in the enriched atmosphere therein, and critically damaging the FV Neverending III's life support systems. Chief Gunnery Officer Azale, with his bizarre fetish for phallic weaponry, fights against the flames overtaking the weapons room alongside the Rockman Shields Officer North King, who we hired into the crew a while back in Deep Engi Space. North King only made it into the back of the ship by a brave charge through the rarefied air of the center of the ship, which had been vented only seconds earlier to extinguish another set of fires. Those doors had only been rendered openable by the heroic work of the Robotic Engi, Bombshoo, our repairman extraordinaire, who managed to repair the ship's door control systems in the midst of a firefight with the pirates who had teleported on board. Luckymoose, himself a Mantis ex-pirate whom we had rescued from the Engi towards the beginning of our journey from the Federate Outpost, has just finished healing after singlehandedly killing off the two remaining pirates on board.
All the while, Captain Qoou was in the front of the ship, negotiating prices for a new drone bay.
