I have done a few mockups of games (as I mentioned in the DK.Jr-thread) from other platforms (well, just from NES so far) just for fun, and thought I'd share them, and maybe someone else has done some (or is inspired to do something similiar) and post here?

The first I did was a mockup of Super Mario Bros, it's in multicolor but with quite a lot of hires tiles:



I also did a quick mock-up of Balloon Fight:



I did two versions of Ice Climber (awesome game!!), I thought it might look better in Multicolor so I did that first, but wasn't happy at all with how it looked so decided to do one in Hires which I think looks more like the original game and a lot better:




And last but not least, the picture I did of how Donkey Kong Jr. could look, which I think turned out quite nice. The sprites are very quickly done and could definitely need some touching up.



I was actually pondering the idea of porting a game from the NES to the C64, keeping all the game-logic but rewriting all graphics-stuff since the graphics on both systems are very different.

Don't really think I ever will though

Impressive! On the multicolor image, you know, that in multicolor mode you can mix in hires as well? The free color is restricted to the lower 8, for both hires and multicolor.

Yes, it's used a lot in the Mario-picture, and on the numbers in the Ice Climber MC-picture. Too bad that all browns are unavailable when using this mode :/

I was thinking about using Enhanced Character Mode instead for some of the pictures, but since CharPad doesn't support it (and I really like CharPad, hasn't found any other tool that comes close for making graphics) I have to settle with normal hi-res or multicolor for now.

Yeah, Like Endurion Said, Some Nice looking Graphics there, All you need now is A Coder to knock up a Funky Game with them... BTW The DK JR Graphics look Very Good... Maybe a Hi-Res Overlay on the Main Sprite would work ? Personally I prefer the Multi Colour Version Of Ice Climber BTW, maybe you could do a Vote on which Version of the Graphics people like best. Which makes me wonder what happened to that Game Don Doku Don, there was a nice Preview then all has been quiet...

Well, all I can say is WELL DONE, you are clearly Very Talented, Keep Up the Good work And I hope a Coder sees your work and you guys can work on some Cool Project, By The Way I have a feeling Arkanix Labs are after a Graphician, Maybe it might be worth you guys getting in touch, If you dont mind me suggesting such a thing. I believe Moloch would be the person to speak to. Hope you dont mind me suggesting this...
Best Wishes Wayne

Wayne have you acquired a coder for any of your current projects?

I don't think you could ever do a game like super mario using a mix of hi-res and mutlicolor. I believe that limits you to 64 characters and it would be tough to do that game with so few. I know Gianna Sisters went with multi-color, but if I ever wrote a game like that I think I'd be more tempted to go with straight hi-res.

Even worse, Giana Sisters actually does use hires characters (clouds and bushes)...

Fx: I really love the graphics work. Nice and clear. Looking forward to seeing some of your work in an actual game. Keep up the great work

Okay, I'm spamming my own thread now anyways, I did a mock-up of Excitebike aswell yesterday, it's very quickly done and the "oil-spills or bumpy road or whatever they are supposed to be" look really square and ugly at the moment, but I was just fiddling around with how it could look in ECM. Actually I drew it in CharPad in Hires and just added in some color using paint to simulate ECM.

I really love this style. You need to get some of this into a game!

Did one more, this time it's Wrecking Crew that got the C64-hires-treatment.

While indulging in a little chin stroking nonsense I knocked these out:

Double Dragon


Street fighter 2


You'll have to excuse the blockiness; it was the only way I figured of having it somehow technically feasible.

Chances of me actually making a game: nil
