As Blastermaster KRS-ONE once said, “We’re not done… we’re not done… we’re not done… check this out!”
Fake Screenshots: A new title screen based on a 1989 movie. I’m not telling you, so you’ll have to find out on your own.
Custom Sprites: The following new sprites were added
– Capcom: Strider Hiryu (arcade stand)
– Final Fight: new sprites of Mike Haggar and Belger along with improved Cody stare-down edits
– DC Comics: Batman (Michael Keaton style)
– Jaleco: the hero from Hachoo!
– Sega: Shadow Dancer (arcade) boss 3
– Golden Axe: new Gilius pose
– Then and now: Added the old and new Mike Haggar sprites for your amusement and disgust.
The Revenge of 1989: main page was updated with a few more images and more errors were fixed.
That’s all for 2014 and I hope you enjoyed this year’s updates. The custom sprite galleries grew with a lot of new pixel art, the GFX Generators swelled up even more (including new scratch-made backgrounds) and I was able to keep my promise of completing the original Mad Gear gang (including a scratch-made Damnd). The site will return to celebrating all years of platformers and beat ’em ups next year, but the Revenge of 1989 will return again in August. Have a Happy New Year and I’ll see you again in 2015!
