Sprite Jam Ahoy!

Theme:Downgrading VGA Sprites

I've had this idea for a while to take a VGA game, like Quest for Glory 3, and downgrade it to EGA art. With so many people wanting to "upgrade" games to VGA, I thought it'd be a nice change for those of us who prefer EGA over VGA. So what I want to see is for you guys to take something from a VGA game and turn it into a EGA sprite.

Size Limit:The average EGA size for whatever sprite you're doing. Usually about half the size of the VGA sprite, but I'll leave the sizing up to you guys. I have faith you won't give me 600x600 sprites.

Color Limit: the standard EGA 16 color palette (http://www.permadi.com/tutorial/websafecolor/ Use the 'named colors' as a reference if you need to)

Okay, I think that's it. Even if it sounds hard to you, give it a shot. I hope to see some awesome things!

This is what Ben Throttle would look like if the game was made in the late 80s.

This isn't the actual EGA palette pete posted in the start of the thread. Mine's not exact either.

Ok, my attempt here.

This is Max, the main character of "Sanitarium" game, drawn as a EGA sprite.

Everything done in MS Paint, pixel-by-pixel in the classic 16 colours palette (8 in use).

Hope you like it! ;)

You didn't say I must use an adventure game, well it may not be a VGA game, but I won't care. :=

Yay, you guys have given me some awesome entries! And now I have to choose a winner, huh?

Okay, Gil, your's probably should win, it's totally, completely awesome, but I'm going to pick Mr.Frisby's entry, Frank. I dig the way he came out a whole bunch! Especially his head. It's all kinds of perfect mannyhead.

So there. Mr.Frisby won. Everyone elses entries rocked hard too! I love EGA sprites.
