26th Anniversary

This 26th anniversary update may be low key compared to last year’s big 25th anniversary celebration, but today’s newness brings new sprites of one whole sci-fi game trio, completes another sci-fi team, brings in a classic comic book villain who recently became a final boss, and gives a vehicle to another final boss!

Custom Sprites:
– Alien Storm (new): long overdue idle stance sprites of Karla, Gordon, and Scooter. I also sprited Karla’s select screen pose.
– Donkey Kong (new separate): completely redrawn Donkey Kong Junior
– Flicky (new): Flicky
– Kid Icarus: Palutena
– Mega Man: Dr. Wily in the Wily UFO 2 (open and closed)
– Quartet (new separate): Joe and Lee (finally)
– Marvel Comics: Annihilus (classic comic)

Mini-logos:
– Capcom: Andore (SF6 cutscene)
– Nintendo: Kid Icarus
– Sega: Flicky
– Marvel: Annihilus

Game Index: MARVEL Cosmic Invasion

Toyboss: Took a new TMNT villain group pic, adding the VHS box ‘toon Foot Soldier.

New custom sprites and mini-logos added to the GFX Generators.

This will probably be the last time I do an anniversary update like this, so next year’s will be different. PROBABLY, it depends on how certain things I’m working on turn out between now and then. The main thing is to not just have another “bigger update than usual.” The main thing is to still do something special for all the people who still come through to check out this old website.

Here’s a couple of teasers from recent sprite linework scans and all I’ll say is that’s both of them are super-villains.

Thank you for visiting the site and I hope you come back for more pixels and fun when you get the chance!

Static and Edgar

I just stopped by to drop off a few new custom sprites: Static in his original Milestone/DC comic book outfit (and Static #1 pose) and Edgar, one of the four heroes from Sega’s 1986 sci-fi platformer, Quartet. The sprites have been added to the proper custom sprite galleries and are in the GFX Generators with fighting game sprites. Static has his original logo there.

The next full-sized site update (early March) will include something interesting for the GFX Generators. That’s all I’m saying for now.

Momovengers, Game Index update and more

Currently busy with many things, including cooking up a few things for future themed updates for this site (and I’ll dedicate a whole post to that soon). I just wanted to make another update so you know that the site is still kicking.

Game Index – Adjustments were made to many entries and the engine itself, including one to the screenshot area. The main index page now lets you check out games according to genre. There are almost 100 games in there right now, so that took a while. Most of the games have at least one screenshot now.

games added: Altered Beast (arcade), Quartet (arcade), Rolling Thunder (arcade)

Sprites – More sprites were added to the following galleries: Superman (arcade), Vigilante (arcade).

GFX Generators – a recreation of the Metroid NES title screen has been added to those variable background screenstyles in the Vs. Maker and GroupShot generators.

Capcom: Avengers/Avenger Ryu & Ko (full ending pose).
Namco: Wonder Momo (Momo sprite)

All new custom sprites were added to their Custom Sprite galleries as well.

Before I go, here’s a minor extra thing to show off. I was testing out an idea I had and posted a .GIF of the result on Tumblr, but had to trim it down because the full version kept getting an upload error. Here’s the whole thing:
