No, I need skeletons.  I'm thinking of trying to get some good screen caps of golden axe.

There was/is a game, that I thought was called Slaughterhouse but I guess it's not since I can't find it that we used to play all the time.  A dude in blue medical swabs with a hockey mask on and carrying a chainsaw as his weapon.  It was a side-scroller I thought.

Time Killers features chainsaws, and skeletons appear in Mortal Kombat (various versions) from fatalities such as falling in the Dead Pool, or getting fried by Scorpion.

Cool.  I will have to see if I can get sprites for the chainsaw.  I think I will use goldenaxe's skeltons, I need sprites form the different frames of animation.

Then make them print worthy...

If you were on chat last night you know what I am trying to do ;D  cdbrown has a cabinet called arcade of darkness, names after army of darkness.  Was thinking of making a prototype marquee with arcade characters doing the battle scene.  So I need skeletons and a guy with a chainsaw (that I can make his arm the chainsaw   ;) )

And I need an army of darkness font, that is free.  Found one, it is all caps though, can't get a free one with the 'of' in the right font.

Aren't their chainsaw guys in House of the Dead 2?

Yeah, there's a boss called Strength.  I can't find a screenshot right now, but here's an action figure:

There is a Super Nintndo Game called "Zombies Ate My Neighbors" THat has chainsaw guys in it. You may be able to get a good chainsaw sprite from that.

There is at least one actual Evil Dead game, I think it's called Fistful of Boomstick.

That chainsaw is perfect!
Ok, I think I got what I needs.  A chainsaw, which I plan on make look like the arm on a different popular arcade character.  And skeletons form golden axe.

Next will be background and foreground props that have a medieval feel... but I am going ot tinker with the concept for awhile first.
