Pretty awesome video.
What game is it with the platform jumper using the cable launcher? That looks fun. :afro:
I Dream In Retro (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERzNf9PzvEA#)
This is my first big flash animation. It's based heavily on a dream I had that was caused by a long day of playing NES, SNES, and Genesis. A lot of the animation is true to the dream with a few changes to keep it interesting.
In the dream I was moving through different levels from many games. In each level the music was wrong and my sprite (while fitting the bit style) didn't quite work with the game. During the dream I was abusing a cheat ability to use different weapons from pretty much any game (of the same bit type) I wanted at any time. The game itself behaved as it should, with my actions being the only aberration.
I wanted it to look as "real" as possible, as if it was actually happening in the games. Everything looks, animates, behaves and moves as close to the real thing as I could manage. Because of this it might not be as exciting and action packed as the flood of DBZ style sprite animations out there.
Big thanks to the guy who made the deviant art preloader. Mine all sucked. Thanks also to my friends and the crew on the ElysianShadows forums for the input.
And HUGE thanks to my girlfriend for putting up with me during the creation of this animation. I love you.
Dedicated to anyone who has ever loved video games.

cable launcher? the grappling hook? Bionic commando.

Nice! Lots of different games mashed-up together! Love it!
Thanks for the link.

I love the bomberman mixed with pac-man stuff.

Cheers Malenko. I'll have to try that game out.

Definitely play the NES version. The arcade one, to me, is lacking in comparison.

I thought he might have used this (http://tinyurl.com/2gxw6mz) for the dream, but it's not the same.

Very neat

BTW they made a new revamped version of Bionic Comando last year or maybe it was the year before. It was visually stunning but I thought the gameplay was nonstandard and confusing. In case you want to look into that too.
