Ok, this week's rules are:
well-known person in Gameboy style
Pick a celebrity (can be a fictious one, like Ronald McDonald) and draw it using only 4 shades of either grey or green.
Caricatures are fine.
I'm not sure about the size of the GB's display, I think it was 128x128. So that's the size limit.
Nice rules, but I want to ask:
Does a well-known adventure game character coutn?
Yes, although converting MI1's Guybrush to 4 colors isn't that hard.
You can use any char you want, but if the original version features a LOT of colors, you're more likely to win.
Well, I cheated a bit and used a photo of one of my toys to do this. If that's not allowed (and I suspect it's not), then this is not an entry (but it was still fun!):

(and a second version, to... um... highlight the highlights and the form better.... I personally prefer the first one, even though it's a bit ambiguous)

Two celebrities for the price of one! Frankenstein, King of the Moon, and his queen, Jennifer Lopez!

Actually, I don't :)
You should be ashamed.

It's from Rode Kill (http://www.rodekill.com/index.php?rusty=games#rkaditl) (or Rode Quest (http://www.rodekill.com/index.php?rusty=games#rq)...)

Continuing Pesty's exposé on the classic Gameboy/AGS crossovers, here's an in-game screenshot from "Ben Jordan: Moon Mayhem" in which he battles Frankenstein, King of the Moon.

This doesn't count I suppose because the res is actual gameboy res and not the one designated by the topic, but either way, it's the main character from Time Out [my game] fighting the floating Frankenstein Head with Diminutive Body in a grave yard... Game...
Eric
Castlevania? The whip suggests it...
Suggests what?
The object he's using is an inventory item from my game.
go go gadget arms!
when will time out be done? its one of my most anticipated,/ least publicised games
Wow, someone remembers it, I've started working on it again and have come quite far, I'm in the home stretch, thanks
i remember it because i was looking through your tuts and stumbled on the time out page. unfortunatley, it hasn't been updated for a while so i kept it on my list but stopped visiting.
Holy crap, I had just chalked time out to being lost forever....Can't wait for you to finish it dude.
What's the deal with all those Frankensteins?
I was just thinking that...
in 1998, a game was quietly released to the gameboy market, but somehow it just didn't catch on. Now, SPAM-Co games is proud to present to you...

Yes, do fierce battle with all the movie icons of yesteryear, including (but not limited to):
David Hasselhoff!
Mr. T!
Mark Hamill!
Sylvester Stallone (as Rambo)
Linnea Quigley (as Trash)
Judd Nelson
And many, many more!
Perform fierce combos, like Hasselhoff's Kit Double Trouble move! Or, store up energy for a fearsome one-hit finishing move, like Mark Hamill's Saber Penetrator!
Featured on the gameboy's native 160x144 pixel screen and in brilliant 4 color vomit-yellow hues!
Get it today! (please?)
Mark Hamill has done a ridiculous amount of voice acting.

Well I don't know if this can count since i was lookng at a comic book the whole time but it was fun to make anyhow. I tried also showing his swords but it didn't work out that good.

i was going to call it Frankenstrike but meh.

I went with mickey mouse 'cause he's easy to draw, and everybody loves mickey.
EDIT: It was brought to my attention that I used double the res, because I am stupid. I have thusly, properly amended the situation.

Helm is back??? So... Farl is back!!!
I can't believe I ate the whole thing you cut off the moustache!
but what's the deal with Frankenstein?
Here is my entry for this contest.
The 8th dwarf, the beloved italian president Silvio Berlusconi!
It also features Uncle Scrooge's hat, very well deserved, in my opinion!
(this is my first attempt in an AGS competition, and I know it sucks, but, hey...actually Berlusconi SUCKS!)

I don't stand a single chance to win, but anyway, if only one image is valid, I choose the 2nd one.

Oh hell, I totally forgot about that... :=
Do I have to? :) I'll try to think of something...
The Sprite Jam ends precisely at 2400 GMT today, that's 1:00 AM my time.
Close call.

Hope they're somewhat recognizable. A sort of blend between the char's development over the games.

Coolness, that'd be so sweet if there really were 'point & click' adventure games on the Gameboy.
EDIT: Or are there?
Well Broken Sword is available on the GBA, but that's in full colour...
The "Deja-Vu" games are also available on the Gamboy Colour, if I am not mistaken.
Edit: Awesome, I'm not mistaken.

That's it, no more entries, please.
What teh heck? It's 8 already?
Must. sleep. now.
Winner. to be. announced. soon.
It's quite hard for me to choose a winner, every single one is great. Even after rating them by recognizableness(sp?), sticking to the rules and overall drawing performance, I still ended up with 6 top candidates that scored equally.
I have no choice but to be nit-picky about the rules then.
So: Ozwalled is the WINNER!
Can you tell me what's about all those Frankensteins now???????
What? You DID see some of those other entries right? Right?! :P
Anyway, thanks for the nod, khrismuc. I don't envy your position in having judged this Jam at all: I fear my head would have exploded if I'd had that reponsibility.
I'dd also like to know what the deal-e is with "Frankenstein: King of the Moon".
I'll see what I can do for a next Jam.
WHAT?! :o call me squinky, bu i thought jams were voted for, i call for democracy![riots in streets, pixals tiped in bostin harbor] I call for revelution!
ozwallds WAS good, but think it should be put to a vote
Well, you were wrong.
Sprite jams aren't voted for.
Background blitzes are.
OOPS!! :-[ so sorry, but i still think they SHOULD be voted for, but that is my opinion.

Hahahahaha! No.
The secret of the king of the moon shall remain so forever more!
Dammit. I guess I'll just have to go there and meet him, then, and put this mystery to an end...
