Makar | 1,946 Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 alright some ideas from little Samson. Maybe the cyclops? or kikira the dragon (the green dragon dude in this grouping of sprites) or gamm the golem (brown rock dude)? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Pac | 7,534 Graphics Team · Posted October 21, 2021 Author Share Posted October 21, 2021 21 - Psycho Fox Here's a character with some of the most frustrating platforming physics I've ever encountered, but I felt like this thread needed some Master System representation anyway. Also - @Makar I was wondering where you've been haha. -CasualCart 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeldaFreak | 3,600 Events Team · Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Seeing you wanting to do some 2600 sprites actually got me thinking about some of the few 2600 games I've played, and that inspired me to come up with some more suggestions for you. First of all, here's some suggestions from some of the 2600 arcade ports (of which I actually found to be pretty good, at least the ones I played) The little bird-riding guys from Joust A variety of sprites from Tapper (I'd love to see your interpretation of an angry, very impatient customer at a bar pestering the bartender for a drink, haha) The dancing ladies that appear whenever you beat a stage This doofus who shakes up all the drinks except one in a random order, and then forces you to open the one he didn't shake I always thought these guys were aliens and that this was some sort of intergalactic bar or something, but I have no idea if that's actually the case. Probably not, but that was how I interpreted this stage, it's Atari so you gotta use your imagination, haha The ships from Galaxian Which then got me thinking, why not do some actual arcade sprites? I'd love to see your interpretation of some of the enemies from Galaxian or Galaga, particularly this guy Maybe one or two of the enemies from Robotron: 2084? And then here's a weird one I thought of, how about your interpretation of the little... yellow... thing that you control in Tempest 2000? Or really any of the enemies from that game would be cool as well, the whole game is super abstract so there's plenty of room for interpretation on what any of the things in the game are actually supposed to be beyond just random polygonal shapes Anyway, just some more ideas I came up with that I wanted to share!

T-Pac | 7,534 Graphics Team · Posted October 22, 2021 Author Share Posted October 22, 2021 22 - H.E.R.O. Good call on this one, @Code Monkey! I'm generally not a big Activision fan, but everyone says H.E.R.O. is an excellent game so I need to get myself a copy one of these days. -CasualCart 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captmorgandrinker | 1,649 Administrator · Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 I have an Atari 2600 suggestion- Pitfall Harry and the balloon from Pitfall II: Most hilarious random part of that game. I make him float as long as possible so I can hear more of the music. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was so accustomed to cute Kirby enemies, so seeing this guy for the first time was jarring to say the least.

I'm trying to remember what I thought of his appearance when I first saw him. Unfortunately, all that comes to mind is lots and lots of deaths against him and his orb form (I was bad at games then). His death "scream" was pretty cool though. Edited October 25, 2021 by AverageOliver98 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,932 Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Kirby was really on an whole other level by the time that came out, and surprisingly didn't even used a really advanced MMC, just the 3 that SMB3 used. The game has such attention to detail, audio perks, great color usage, the list goes on. That image though, that's pretty much probably for some nightmare fuel and the look is quite a match for the sprite as a side by side compared to some that get more artistic freedom to it. I'd dare go as far as saying if the game ever got re-released as a remaster in a cartoon animation style, that wouldn't be far off the mark. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It allows quite fine windowing of CHR data, and all the timed splits you'd want across a single frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
