One of the key games used by Sony to demonstrate the graphical prowess of the PlayStation 3 prior to its North American release, Majescoâs safari simulator Afrika came out three years after the console launched and wasnât very good. Itâs dynamic theme, on the other hand, is exquisite.
This was originally to be a post about dynamic backgrounds and themes, a feature that only existed in the PC realm before this generation. The ability to customize your console desktop how you want, when you want is a feature many of us take for granted.
Then I began flipping through some of my dynamic PlayStation 3 themes, and realized that, for the most part, theyâre generally horrible. Half-naked, chest-heaving demons, barely animated scenes from big-budget games, anime girls that look like they were drawn in a middle school art class.

Ah, there we go. It wasnât themes in general I loved at all. It was these zebras. Theyâre the theme on both of my PlayStation 3 consoles. Apparently I am a huge fan.
All-in-all, I suppose Afrika wasnât quite the failure it seemed. It was meant to show off the PlayStation 3âs graphical prowess, and here it is, still going strong today.
