I hope that made up for the poot-butt, small updates from the past few months. There won’t be any updates this gigantic for a while, but this Revenge of 1989 theme still has some surprises in store. No promises, but there might be an additional update later this week, including tune-ups of earlier content and things I didn’t have time to work into this update.
“Hey, why are there Gauntlet characters in a 1989 update?” Besides the fact that there was a good port of Gauntlet 2 for the Commodore Amiga, there’s a new Gauntlet game coming out this month!
BTW: the Boy and his Pup Kickstarter is almost done, so help out if you can!
Edit (September 20, 2014) Besides making a few fixes here and there, the following things have been added:
– Mini-logos: Rolento (Ultra Street Fighter IV), Bebop and Rocksteady (TMNT Classics)
– Custom sprites: Kunio-kun (Downtown Nekketsu Monogatari cover pose)
– GFX Generators – All new content was added to their characters in the generators, fixes were made to a few characters (Andore/Hugo, Thyra the Valkyrie), the Lee Brothers new palettes were improved to include Double Dragon 1 sets (with the gray boots) and the “Mego: WGSH” has three new “head bubble” sets.
Okay, that’s enough for now.
heckyesgauntlet!
Those arcade/NES alt customs for the two characters felt like those games that you could switch costumes for different playstyles. The character logos are also a very nice touch!
Thanks, Shadi! I promised you a cabinet art version of those characters, so I’m glad you like how they turned out! It wasn’t easy to find decent shots of the names, probably due to the huge size of the cabinets. I still think it was worth it, because that font is awesome.
I haven’t been able to check out everything about the new Gauntlet game, so I’ve been wondering if players can make them look like the old arcade versions. I hope they haven’t saved that for DLC like Mortal Kombat did.
Finally!
Very nice storchinaya / strobaya / lemanaya / gruziy finally appeared!
They have always been looking forward to the creation of
Now finally see
Really impressed!
I hope others can quickly appear bad lady!
Thank you
Thank you, skb!
I’m glad you like how the bad Golden Axe amazon sprites look! I tried to make them look like their artwork in the Mega Drive manual.
There are more bad ladies in 1989 games and I will make sprites of them soon!
