2-XL Desktop Images

2-XL CGI DESKTOP IMAGES
These images were created by Keith at www.spoofpark.com, who is a big 2-XL fan and kindly sent them to me to share and post here! If these bitmap files seem to big to browse through yet the thumbnails seem to small, you can also view medium-sized versions of them in the fan art section, decide which ones you like best there, and then come back here to download the ones you like best.
HOW TO SAVE AND USE DESKTOP IMAGES: Click on either the name or icon to open the image. From there, right click on the image and select "Save As." You should be given a choice to save them as either a .jpg or .bmp file. Save it as a .bmp file into your Windows folder. After it has been saved, go to your desktop and right click on your background image, which will bring up a new menu. Click on "Active Desktop," then on "Customize my Desktop." This will bring up your Display Properties menu. Click on "Background." The file you saved should now be included in your choices. Click on the new 2-XL file, then click apply.

Sites specifically pertaining to 2-XL:

2XL Simulator by Mouser at www.donationcoder.com is a flash-enabled, fully interactive 2-XL emulator! Mouser is also looking for people to help encode more programs into it!
2-XL: The Robot With a Personality is another fan site that has some scans of the tapes and booklets up, and is working on an interactive 2-XL on the page!
Jay's Game Show Page has a very nice section on 2-XL's show "Pick Your Brain," including screen captures.
The Mego Museum is an incredible site! As you would expect, it's mostly geared towards Mego's extensive action figure line, but it also covers all Mego toys in some form or another, including 2-XL! Go to the MEGO LIBRARY section and look at the catalogs for 1978, 1978/79 and 1979. The 1978 catalog has more images of the 2-XL prototype! In addition this site also has message boards and a marketplace.
The Old Robots Web Site is a fantastic visual resource of over 50 different real and toy robots, including 2-XL. Highly recommended for any fan of robots!
Retroland has a section with 2-XL, which also includes a "Memories" section with 2 pages of 2-XL testimonials, and a 2-XL message board! (Although no one has posted on it as of this writing.)
Unofficial 2-XL Home Page which has some great sound files, animated images and a very humorous FAQ.
WeAreSmall
wearesmall.com is a website that features many crazy stories using customized Mego figures, which gives it a couple of 2-XL connections. The biggest one is that there is a group of Smalls called the Cult of Marty that worship 2-XL. The other is a story that follows the adventures of a spaceship called the 2XL+, which was directly named after 2-XL. This is some truly wild stuff!
Wikipedia has a rather extensive and very nice 2-XL entry. (And no, I haven't contributed to it.)
ZombieLand II is a website about the band White Zombie, and has a nice write-up on the song "Blues for 2-XL" that includes 2-XL and was done by White Zombie guitarist J. Yuenger. (If the direct link doesn't work for you, when you get to the Zombieland II site just click on INTERVIEWS then "J YUENGER Interview about blues for 2 XL".)

Sites that have a connection to 2-XL:
Andrew Hepburn's eBay auctions. Andrew Hepburn specializes in disco and library albums, and from time to time he has copies of the albums that were used to that were used on the Mego 2-XL tapes. And he includes sound samples so you can tell what you're bidding on! Mr. Hepburn is a fantastic person to deal with, both personally and professionally, and I can't recommend him highly enough.
Great Arizona Puppet Theater, whose Office Administrator is Kamala Kruszka, the voice of Kasey the Kinderbot.
Voyager Radio, which includes 2-XL sound bites in the broadcast! You can also listen to Voyager Radio by using Live365

The 2-XL Construction Crew
This is an image I made for the pages that were "under construction" as I was redesigning this site. It was a big hit with my friends and family, although one friend told me it needs some more 2-XLs standing around in the background, just doing nothing. ;) Now that those pages are completed, it seems a shame to lose the image! So I'm including it here. If anyone out there actually wants to use it on their own website, go right ahead. As with the banners, to save this image right-click on it and choose the "Save as" option. You can then re-upload it to your website and use it wherever you need it.
