CHALLENGE: Retro RemakePick a scene from from one of your favourite retro games (preferably from the 80s, think NES/C64) and remake it. If you want, you may also change the graphics style, like Bomberman Act: Zero or Emroca's brilliant rendition of the Mushroom Kingdom. Just make sure it's still the same kind of game!Rules:

Basically we are suposed to remake an scene from an 80's - 90's(90's are retro, at this point) game, mario grabbing the flag at the end of the level or the contra commandos running thru the jungle level for example, either in it's original art or by complete redesing of the original, in the resolution of the console were the game was played (in this case, NES's resolution 256x240px)
Animations are allowed as they are not prohibited in the above mentioned rules. did I miss anything? |

Can I do a Creatures mock up?
The reason I ask, is that I've already done some remake sprites and background before. I know the challenges are for new pieces, but I'm concerned that if I do a new Creatures mock somebody might reject it because I have done others previously. Thanks |

Metaru: no, that's pretty much it!
(My apologies if the challenge description is a bit wonky - I never was all that good with words) pmprog: a Creatures mockup is fine as long as everything was made during this week. Good luck :) |

@Lollige:
Best thing to do is search for a C64, Spectrum, Gameboy emulator, then find some game roms to download for them and load up and play. Most emulators support taking screenshots, so then you can use them as references (as a whole or in parts) to create your new screen |

We can do classic arcade games too right? also, the only part of the original game we have to match is the resolution, not the colors and tiles etc?

Ok I have a very stupid problem
when I open my cool c64 emulator and I open a game like froggy or donkey kong (I figured out that that ducktales game has been on the c64 too, I played that.. but its from 1991..) I dont know how to play it.. it says press f1 or press space to start, so I press those keys, the game starts, just like I had seen them when I played them with mame (yay thanks to mame I know some old games!!) and then? the arrow keys do not work.. what to do? no key seems to respond on every game!! |

Let Zephiel know before he wastes his time, thx. @Zeph, PM Pixelblink and double check if it will be allowed before you waste a lot of time. |

I assumed 'preferably from the 80s' meant 80s recommended, but not required.
But i like the way it is turning out, so i'll finish it regardless of whether or not it applies to the weekly challenge. |

The rules did state 80s "preferably" so we're not limited to any particular year. Actually I'd probably say it's safe to say anything over 10 years old is considered retro now. We'll work on a case-by-case format for now though... just in case anything comes up. Just don't be a douche and try to bend the rules because you can't be bothered to come up with any true original idea. |

I'm working on Kid Icarus. I'm pretty happy with it so far, though I still want to add a background. Solid black is boring.
BTW, I tried making Pit look like a mix between his original sprite and his model for SSB:B. ![]() ![]() |

if you dont mind me asking presley what game console is your game based on. cuz you have to make the canvas the exact size as the consoles resolution.

looks nice so far, but i think you can do a lot better in terms of quality with the colours with the max that's set for the challenge... Youre at 15 colours at the moment (and i think thats because you left some old colours out there too?) So use those extra 17 colours to givve it a bit more depth and make the image smoother (except if you want the dithering to be clearly visible)...
