Sprite Jam - 2bit GameBoy Style (14-01-2010) (Winner announced)

[Arboris]

Well then, lets get started with a new competition.

2bit Gameboy Style

Now the rules are quite simple: Take a existing game you like (or just a character of said game), and convert it to an old school Gameboy game.

 *Max dimensions: 160×144 (original Gameboy resolution)
 *You'll have to use the 2bit colour scheme I've provided
 *It has to be an existing game which wasn't released on the Gameboy
 *Bonus points if you do a full 160x144 game mock-up.
 *One entry per person, if you have multiple entries please specify which one you'll be using for the compo.

The colour scheme you'll have to use:



And, ofcourse, some trophies for those interested:



Good luck, and have fun.

Not an entry, just for inspiration:



Did this about two years ago for another challenge.

[Chicky]

Why didn't my gameboy look that good! Awesome Khris.

[Gilbert]

Another one for inspiration (i.e. not an entry either):

which was for a SJ round some 5 years ago hosted by someone who already posted here.

[Wonkyth]

Good topic.
I'll try and get something done for it.

[NsMn]

I have an actually pretty dumb question. Do we really have to use that specific palette? There are many other better Gameboy palettes available.

[Arboris]

That depends, which one do you want to use? Remember, it has to be a 2bit colour scheme.

[NsMn]

Well, I found two other palettes on the web that are also often used. For example:



There are also others, like a more beige one and a pure monochrome one, which I prefer, since they all have at least 2 neutral colours like grey, white or black.
The given palette only provides green tones.

[Arboris]

You're free to use those green tones, but not the beige or the black and white Gameboy pocket colourscheme.
I'm going to keep it old school.

[ThreeOhFour]

I actually think the provided palette is radtastic.



Hopefully I didn't mess up too badly and somebody will be able to recognize the game

[Brentimous]

Had a lot of fun with this one.





Anyone recognize it?

Ben,
That was actually my first idea! Couldn't get Jade to look right, though.

[Arboris]

Ico in a Zelda format. Very nice, both of you.

[NsMn]

Here's mine, I just decided to make two versions with the palettes. The usual one doesn't look that bad after all.... but I like the more grey colours (Green Tyson FTW!)



It's not very fancy, but... well, it's not very fancy, fullstop.
It doesn't even have referee Mario!

[Bulbapuck]

Awesome theme felt inspired to do this:


Should have added more squares

Holy FUCK, that is INCREDIBLE.

Thanks 

I appreciate your appreciation.
But your image doesn't load on my computer... 

[Andorxor]

It is Beyond Good and Evil

[Bulbapuck]

Another one!


Can you guess what it is? and my previous one?

This is so much fun, might even do a third one
