Take control of Punchman as you battle a band of vicious pirate terrorists with your bare hands. Eight exciting levels with stunning EGA graphics! For P_O's old school palette challenge. It uses an EGA resolution and palette (although I only used 14 of the 16 available colours). I really liked working with this palette and I can honestly say I'm proud of the result.

It's a fun palette and you used it well.

I'll use this as my avatar! the colorscale is so pretty..

Definitely has that classic "apogee" feel to it. Just one problem though... Its well known that heroes in EGA games can't swim. In fact they can't die if water touches them. So how the hell is he going to reach the terrorists? No, but seriously, this rocks.

It means a lot to me hearing that from you :D Thanks man.

Have not seen this before. Awesome stuff I have to say :D

Looks like an awesome mix of River City Ransom (NES) and "Duke Nukem" EGA graphics. Great Work

how in the hell did I miss this.... awesomeness..

Stickman (Level 7 Sheriff) @ 7/27/2007 14:58

Definitely agree with ilkke on the Target Renegade feel (man...I remember getting frustrated with the loading errors, and then all was saved when I purchased a 64k ram expansion for my Amstrad)

I like this pic very much because of the feel. Those dudes in the corner...CLASSIC!

@gas13: I think it had you jumping from a handglider onto some skyscrapers at the beginning.

Ah, yes, forgot to mention how much i like this pic :D
More, please!

Gas 13 (Level 9 Boss) @ 7/26/2007 04:10

Hehe I finished it either, awesome game. Not sure about the sequel. I can't even remember how it looked like.

iLKke (Level 9 Nidan) @ 7/26/2007 04:00

It reminds ME of target renegade.
@gas13: Saboteur was that cool game with a ninja for speccy! I managed to finish it but i never finished the sequel.

Gas 13 (Level 9 Boss) @ 7/25/2007 13:51

Finally I recalled the name of the game with the similar start - Saboteur! :) Damn, it took me so long. Do you remember? You needed to swim on a boat to get to terrorists' residence. Love the ground texture.

Larwick (Level 8 Tengu) @ 7/24/2007 20:39

This is really hott man. Only thing i dislike is the barred sky, seems to happen alot with these kinda restricted palettes, but i guess i can't blame ya.

jalonso (Level 11 Godfather) @ 7/24/2007 06:28

Very cool palette as you have worked it, fantastic.

grave (Level 9 Federal Agent) @ 7/24/2007 05:51

-nice use of the pallette :)

Adam (Level 9 Human) @ 7/24/2007 05:12

You made me miss those cool Apogee games. You ought to be ashamed of yourself!

I'd recolored the rocks in the water, but that's just personal preference.

Great piece. Make more. Now.

tocky (Level 3 Dodo) @ 7/24/2007 04:34

This is pretty excellent, I must say.

Skull (Level 11 CEO) @ 7/24/2007 04:15

Awesome. Awesome. Awesome.
Love the style and how it works with the palette. Great work.

skeddles (Level 11 Sphinx) @ 7/23/2007 16:20

Looks great! I actually am quite fond of the pallette.

Shiny (Level 1 Rookie) @ 7/23/2007 15:53

Turbo (Level 1 Rookie) @ 7/23/2007 14:44

Very cool platformer. Character pose could be more interesting, maybe more dynamic looking though. Love the talking bad guys :)

Reo (Level 11 Sphinx) @ 7/23/2007 14:16

Awesome!pure awesomenes!!

Hatch (Level 3 Hatchikyu) @ 7/23/2007 14:09

I've always loved the EGA palette. This is great :D

crab2selout.png (Level 4 Deputy) @ 7/23/2007 13:54

I can't believe I missed this. Great tiling on those cliffs and everything is so well put together, consistent and everything. Great job. You should make some more.

"You have seen a short glimpse of the excitement that awaits in the rest of the [Punchman] trilogy!" Apogee should distribute it as shareware. I llove it!

BlingShyne2 (Level 2 Flatfoot) @ 7/23/2007 13:33

This is how I suspect the guards conversation is going to turn out:

"Yeah so I says to the guy hey if you AAGHHHHhgHGhhGhgHGAGAGHGHG!"

soda (Level 10 President) @ 7/23/2007 13:13
