X-prite Jam: Vth Feb to XIIth of Feb. "From eighties to nineties..."

[Nacho]

Remember the sprites of the end of the eighties and the early nineties? How cool they seemed at the beginning and how shabby after the remakes of the nineties!




Do the same! Convert any of the old sprites you want into something new and cartoony, in the style of Ben Full throttle, CMI Guybrush or Bernard. Of couse, Sierra and other non-LEC companies sprites are allowed.

EXAMPLE:


50 X 150high pixels as much. 16 colours plus background colour.

[Damien]

Any restrictions?

[Nacho]

50 X 150 pixels, 16 colours (17 counting the background one...) IT's in my first post man!   

[Corey]

could you post a few examples of game from that time?? i was born in 1990 so...

[Redwall]

I was born in 1989 but I have copies of pretty much ever LucasArts adventure game from 1988 - 1998.

I think this is intended to be something of a nostalgia trip; so if you don't know any examples, don't enter.

Silly me, I thought that were the dimensions and colors used in your example.

i know what you mean but this topic sure sounds like fun and alot to learn

It's quite easy to do your own research, just type in names of old adventure games or search on The Underdogs by year.

[Nacho]

I thought this was not going to create controversy... I want to see King Graham, Sonny Bonds, Roger Wilco, Guybrush, Indiana Jones, Larry Vales, Bobbin Treadbare, Elaine Marley, Zack McCracken... In 50X150, 16 colours.

I won't be bad. If you pick an old arcade game I will allow you to enter. Wanna pick Luke Skywalker or The Mario Bross? Ok... try to make him Fullthrottlish... Come on people! Enties, entries, entries!!!

[Nacho]

Sorry, but there are million things to do (Choosing another char, make it smaller, changing the pose...) before exceding the limitations. I can't accept the entry. I am deeply  sorry.

[Nikolas]

I made another entry that I spend more time on ... in previous post.

both entries are soooo great! I envy you! REally I do!

..sorry Farl... for the off-topic...

[scourge]

sorry farlander 

[Mordalles]

Sorry, but there are million things to do (Choosing another char, make it smaller, changing the pose...) before exceding the limitations. I can't accept the entry. I am deeplyÃ,  sorry.

since i have about 0.0001% of winning a sprite jam, who cares?  8)

[Nacho]

Hehehe Mordalles...

But you had more chances than you thought. Bulought is out too for using the poor Nikolas for boasting about his sprite.
