Is this update a session of Dungeons and Dragons or the side of some guy’s van from the 1970s? You make the call! 1989 was filled with a ton of “hack ‘n slash” games, including Golden Axe, the arcade hit that found the sweet spot between earlier H&S platformers and the combat trappings and tall play-fields of post-Double Dragon beat-em-ups. This update has pixel art tributes to those games.

Mega Ran’s current Kickstarter will be winding down Friday night, so kick in some scratch if you like what he does and have the dough to do so!
December will be the wrap-up for the whole “the Revenge of 1989” 25th anniversary shindig. I’ll try to wrap up various loose ends, including sprites to complete certain teams (I’m one character away from the Dracula’s Curse heroes team and Belger still needs a wheelchair) and a few other issues. Take care and I’ll see you again next month!
Saw the childhood game of game characters really excited
The debut of the creative roles Valkyrie really happy
Can you please
consider mutation nation rose girl
Sengoku series Kunoichi and turtle princess
three groups
Ninja Combat Kunoichi who
Denjin Makai Valkyrie girl
Avenging Spirit Amazon
I hope in the future we could see them appear here
It is my sincere hope !!!
Thank you for the kind words!
I’m glad you like the Valkyrie sprite. I was worried it wasn’t good enough until people told me that they liked it.
Those are very good ideas for sprites. Amazon is one of my favorite enemies in Avenging Spirit and I want to make a sprite of her. I need to make Denjin Makia sprites, so I’ll make sure the Valkyrie is one of them.
There will be at least one new sprite of a female villain in December. She’s from a rare game so I hope you like the surprise!
Thank you for your creation
Valkyrie with the emergence of many roles
Let me recall the good times in previous years
(There are many games to play that part of the day is the memories of my life)
Thank you for your continued creation
Let’s role has been forgotten can be reborn again
I really appreciate!
