Title: Pixellence - retro pixel art appreciation!
Post by: sunteam_paul on August 29, 2015, 10:41:47 AM
This is a new experiment I'm doing as a way to allow people to look at and appreciate the art from old games. Will mostly be PCE / TG16 for the time being but may venture out to other areas in future.

Best viewed full screen HD.

that is a brilliant concept and idea, it really shows off the actual artistry of the pixel sprites, but looks to be a lot of extraction work. May I make a suggestion? Maybe focus on some high end production value games, although the Vigilante was great and superb on the PC engine, I'm sure there were games with better sprites and graphics to showcase, this is not a criticism in any form, I'm just suggesting for high visual games to showcase.

Wow, what a cracking idea, it really does show of the art and the production value you have put in also adds to you.

Great stuff fella.

If it's popular I'll probably do a TurboGrafx-CD volume, PC Engine HuCARD volume and PC Engine CD volume. There are far too many PCE games I wanted to cover so it was easier to filter some out into a TG16 book.
