Now, if this was a game back in the day I might actually have touched a Nintendo (If I could find a way to do so without my Amiga finding out :D)
Nice piece! I made a "pixel ripley" too! http://www.pixeljoint.com/pixelart/70553.htm
Man, seems like you've mixed and crossovered everything with everything! One side of me is jealous that I haven't made something similar and frowning at certain (not on PJ) fungus-related logo which is rooted in the work of american designer with handle including number 50. Other side of me thinks that renderings are undeniably cool.
This is the coolest thing... I would love to play this game.
