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. :=

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

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

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

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.

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 :P

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.

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!

Should have added more squares :P
