Time to wrap up this year’s 1989 celebration with new sprites and a new video!

Custom Sprites:
Final Fight: big update for my 2019 Rolento FF1 sprite
Ninja Gaiden: new Bomberhead sprite added.
Strider: new Strider Hiryu pose (based on the Famicom ad from the unrealeased game) and a new side-view idle sprite of the Grandmaster added
Marvel Comics: Dazzler (heavily updated sprites + new separate and more accurate PotX and Konami outfits) and the Juggernaut (PotX) (appeared in the 1989 NES Uncanny X-Men game and 1989’Pryde of the X-Men’ cartoon pilot)

The new custom sprites were added to the Fight-size generator.

Bad news: the video is ALMOST ready. It’ll be added to the YouTube Channel and this post either later tonight or tomorrow. Sorry for the delay, but I’ll try to make it worth the wait.
The video is now ready! Here’s the Revenge of 1989 Sprite Showcase video!


Technically I should’ve called it a Showcade (multiple showcases), but some aren’t even whole showcases, but… whatever, man.

This hasn’t been an easy month (for offline reasons), so a lot of items I’d planned just aren’t ready yet, but you’ll see previews of a few (especially the backgrounds) in the new video.


The Arcade Quartermaster site just updated, too! New shrines of Battle Shark and Riding Fight have been added.

  1. Remind again : Joker’s Gang is fading away from the list

  2. Thanks for the alert on that, that option should be showing now.

  3. Really enjoyed the video! Thanks for the nostalgia!
