A giant cloak like that would require a pretty sturdy wind to be blowing it around. The trees almost assuredly would be bending to and fro.

2/10.

Would not appreciate.



No but seriously some of this art is amazing.

Ho Demiurgos by -DE-

One of the coolest works of pixel art I've seen. I want this to be a boss fight somewhere.

 

[Abelian]

Gods (1991) by Bitmap Brothers. Platformer with reactive AI (!) where you played as Hercules.

 

[Ninja Destroyer]

Screen from Super Cauldron on Amiga

Clock Tower (This title goes to my horror genre queue)

Surfing Ninjas, yeah !

This makes me strangely nostalgic.

What game?

 

[Ninja Destroyer]

This makes me strangely nostalgic.

It’s Power Slave, a hentai first-person adventure/strategy game from Japan. “Tetsuya is a rather ordinary Japanese teenager, who prefers hanging out with his sweetheart Rika than going to school. His passion are 3D video games. The newest game machine which allows the player to completely submerge into the virtual world, modeled according to his desires, has captured his heart. But one thing is strange: lately, Tetsuya keeps seeing himself as a killer and rapist. Dreams begin to haunt him. Is this just a side-effect of the game, or does he have a dark side he knows nothing about?”

Sounds like something for our RK47 .

Love the slight glow/strobe effect on some of these. Such a simple detail, but it's surprisingly effective at making the image come to life, especially the cityscapes.

Is that picture from an actual game, or is it just art?

That dark souls gif is awesome.

Is that picture from an actual game, or is it just art?

Just a mockup I think, or at least it's listed with other 2D mockups with the name "Turrican 2". http://jnkboy.tumblr.com/

An old 2D thread I started at Rottentomatoes a decade ago. The TWitcher avatar was forced upon me after I stopped frequenting the site

I have no interest in harvesting brofists, but this thread deserves an appreciation posts. Props to the posters and the artists in this thread.

Oh, good to see the thread is still alive!

I've searched for some DS 2d stuff.

Awesome Dr Skeleton, where did you find those?
