cleaning up my harddisk - well, for the weekly challenge initially, but got stuck on this pixelation thingy.. originally planned to enter mockup frenzy #2: 'gameboy demakes' over at pixelation with this one.. didn't succeed. no time. until xmas. non-'point'n click' (thus action-)version of monkey island for nintendo gameboy - lucasfilm did this with indiana jones' last crusade + the fate of atlantis for amiga and pc back in the early 90s.. title-screen and insults-swordfight.. 2 more screens (jump'n run catacomb-level and sokoban-like level inside the ship) still in 'real soon now'-status (also entered the pixel-competition at the tum demoparty as 'the blonde girl's name is guybrush'. 3rd place. damn =) reference: well, guess! tools: grafx2 wip: www.piexeln.de/pics/tomic-migb_wip.gif

Wow... I can't believe it's only four colors! Terrific job!

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, that's terrific!

I'm really impressed by how such amazing things can be made with 4 colours. I'm going to have to make one of these.

Everything is very good but the ghost ship simply rocks!

TheManuz (Level 5 Killer Klown) @ 2/15/2008 06:21

Fenne (Level 3 Stalker) @ 1/9/2008 11:06

Love it!
And just 4 colors.. that really is amazing!

Gaby05 (Level 1 Rookie) @ 1/9/2008 09:15

Cool!, Nintendo and LucasArt present.... can you imagine how it would be moving the cursor with the old gameboy control! Really original job

Club Beuker (Level 5 Detective) @ 1/9/2008 04:37

Classic.. a straight A+ here

Dude, that rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ceddo (Level 7 Ichikyu) @ 1/5/2008 09:16

BEAUTIFUL!

Tets (Level 6 SWAT) @ 1/5/2008 00:05

OMG, I die for playing this games! I hate the mockups!!!

Gas 13 (Level 9 Boss) @ 1/4/2008 06:23

Prolly you are right. At least the sprite is getting lost on the BG.

tomic (Level 11 Admiral) @ 1/4/2008 05:20

@gas: yepp, i know about the ghosty look issue.. the low contrast is due to gameboy's 3 color-limit for sprites (replacing the dark grey pixels by black ones wouldn't work on that background)

Hapiel (Level 11 Bonsai) @ 1/4/2008 01:39

awesome! Did you totally remake the origional or did you just cropped and traced it?

Faktablad (Level 6 SWAT) @ 1/3/2008 21:30

'Tis good-looking, but I can't tell what those things in the background of the 2nd half are supposed to be.

greenraven (Level 2 Hired Gun) @ 1/3/2008 17:52

Donkey Kong Island?

Really nicely done.

Zero Power (Level 3 Corporate Drone) @ 1/3/2008 16:00

Awesome.

Fav'd

Skull (Level 11 CEO) @ 1/3/2008 14:59

Classic Monkey Island like conversation.. :p
Awesome work - this just looks superb!

Gas 13 (Level 9 Boss) @ 1/3/2008 14:03

Looks great. One thing that disturbs is that selfish pirate guy. He looks like ghost comparing to his opponent. If he doesn't suppose to be the ghost some dark pixels for contrast is a must in my opinion.

Doomcreator0 (Level 5 Assistant Manager) @ 1/3/2008 12:40

I like it. Great remakie of a previous mastperiece.
