Racing Dream X16

Pixel art for today based on videogame Moto Roader for system TurboGrafx 16. It is top down racing game.

And this is my drawing. About the same theme. By the way, add to racing top down game. It can be a simple of GTA1. So, it is some territory. Like a city area. And you can drive there with your car. Doing something. Or racing top down. With our ways, 8 bit road.

About theme with top down racing idea it is clear for everybody. Casual racing. From start to finish. Or like racing with circles. You need to road to finish. So, after - goes next race. And so on.

And about GTA1 type of game. It is a city. And you can go with your two legs in there. You can seat in a car. All is top down. And, you solve some tasks. More often, they are connected with cars. There are other citizens. They are walking the city. And they drive their cars. So, there are city traffic. And you need to solve tasks. By storyline. To get into the car and drive to some other point at the map. Get of car and push the button. I see it this way. GTA1 it is about car thief. This is not about my game. I am not a fan of bandits. Just simple arcade. 

Local Racing Super 70

 Pixel art for today based on videogame ESPN SpeedWorld for system Super Nintendo. This is a racing game.

And this is my drawing about theme. This will be a circle kind of racing. With a cars category muscle cars.   This kind. Top at the right. Here we have speed. Manual shifting. Engine rotation speed. And some overheat. I need better to know about parameters. In details – I don’t know how automobiles works. But you need to check all the time these parameters. It is something like Nascar spirit racing. But with less cars on the road.  And I am sure that ESPN SpeedWorld – it is some racing competition. It will be interesting to know about this ESPN.

So, I never was doing some drawing about 8 bit or 16 bits or MS DOS Nascar racing. So it is also an interesting theme.

Saying simple. So I try to show you a certain kind some racing competition with a certain cars. With parameters while you are racing. Just like keep eye on rpm. And some more. It can be some local racings.

So, I need to dig some data. And I suggest muscle cars of 70s. And circle racing. I need to read about 70s cars and suggest some symbols of the age. But sounds interesting! 

Tardyon in Orion

Pixel art for today based on videogame Galactic Battle for system MS DOS. This is a game genre like Space Invaders.

And this is my drawing the same theme. At the real point, this game already was in my inspiration videogame. But here we are again. I use here CGA NTSC palette. And there is a reason why I take this title again. This is some time a celebration. Celebration of Space Invaders!

It is about the event, that I made my own game engine, well I call it a game engine, which in theory helps me to do lots of games! But it is only in theory. For real way, it does not help a lot, but makes a process faster. And it was a long long time, since I wanted to do a lots lots of clones of Space Invaders. This is my dream.

So maybe a can do a series of Space Invaders. This is thing that I wanted so long time! So this is why it is a celebration!

This drawing is made in CGA color scheme. And about aliens. Ufo and so on. Maybe I can invent some features, in idea to make it differ from typical game. And in any other way, it is a very retro game. It can be. Right now it is a drawing. 

Jugular Cube

Pixel art for today. This time I don’t remember I game of inspiration. Because of it is some old drawing. And I finished it today. It was undone.

This is should be some logic game about cubes and colors. I even don’t know how to play it. If to make this game. Maybe, even arcade. In idea to have a simpler gameplay. Someway to collect cubes, maybe like this. This is only a drawing. And as idea it was taken some game from MS DOS era.

Meteor wave

Pixel art for today based on videogame Dead Moon for system TurboGrafx16. It is a game in genre of shooter, 2d action, shmup, shoot them all. Game from 1991. And it is pretty good about shooting.

And here you see my pixel art about this theme. In 2132 year, a meteor was hit the Earth. With unusual properties. It became a source of new energy. Using it, it become possible to build a new techniques. But a year after, aliens came to solar system to get this source of energy. Source of energy – it is extremely valuable thing in space. And birds of prey are right here. Scientists predicts in a 10 year a big wave of meteors in solar system. No one will hit the Earth, but they fly through solar system. Or hit other planets. Mars, Venus, Moon.

And first aliens intruders ships are already here. So, with other meteors to come, aliens will come too. 

X technology aliens

Pixel art for today based on videogame Xevious for system Atari 7800. It is well known title during the 8 bit era. It is a shmup game, so you fly and shoot.

And here we have my drawing about the same theme. So what kind of game it can be if I make it. First, you see, that game field is much bigger. And lots of objects at the screen and how far you can see. It is a feature.

Also I can suggest some simple science fiction story. About self developing aliens. So some base are landing at the earth. And they start to self developing. And build their ships. So this is only mechanical and technological kind of aliens. They have landed and start their building programs. And you cannot to speak with them, you cannot do them anything. And they are building theirs stations and also a war machines. And using it they start to defend their ground. So this is a problem.

By the way, Atari 7800 – it is a game system from 80s. It was released in 1986. So it is also a retro game, if you dong get it. I am about retro theme direction all the time.

Radioactive Burner

Pixel art for today based on videogame Battle Ace for videogame system TurboGrafx16. It is at the same time both simulation and arcade. In 8 bit decade it was ok thing. Game just like After Burner and Top Gun.

And this is my pixel art about the same theme. It is also arcade shooter about same theme. It is some sci fi avenger. And I suggest some sci fi plot. In a future, at planet Earth was a turning moment. It was appeared some electric dark clouds. High density and dark. And with electrical dangerous clouds.  And higher – radiation fields. So that’s why it was created new aircrafts. And you fly in this way. And you are part of a future conflict.

Aircrafts uses radioactive elements of power. And clouds are dirty with radiation. Welcome to the world of future! Radiation – it is a big power and a curse.

Electric clouds makes a damage to aircrafts. When you run into them. And they makes navigation more hard. Magnetic Earth field also changed. All modern aircrafts are equipped with atomic rockets of small power. And machineguns has also radiation bullets.

You are radioactive soldier. And a pilot. And you are playing in radioactive conflicts of future. So you need to count radiation that you have already got.

As idea I have remembered some songs by Black Sabbath. Like Into the void. And something else. Or front cover from one album – Never Say Die. 

Gates to planet ocean

Pixel art for today based on videogame SideWinder for NES. It is a such of a kind 8 bit shooter. It is one more ok arcade for 8 bit format.

And here we have my pixel art. About same theme. It is about what I can do. So we have also simple 8 bit arcade. With simple decoration and colors. And I suggest science fiction theme.

Here we have a water planet. With lots of small stones islands. Lots of big stones. Planet is covered by ocean, but it is not deep. And lots of stones are here. Small stones areas. Ocean is not deep, about 1 meter or 2 meter in depth.

Planet is in influence zone of alien civilization. And they don’t expect you here. And from portals aliens space ships has arrived. And they automatically start to push humans station from this planet. Without any talks.

How much was explorers to surprised? At first, they were lucky to find planet ocean, not deep ocean, and lots of stones. This is rare luck.

And even more surprise about to appearance of aliens from portals. And they don’t speak and don’t have talks. And they immediately to go for active war actions.

They - aliens, have a interesting space ships of yellow color. It is another technological base. Nobody knows what they use to fly. And they shoot with energy. So, right now, having technology of move by portal, this aliens can go to Earth in a few seconds. And it is required to stop them. Until contact will begins.

I am a fan of Star Gate, it is such science fiction tv series. About sand and flying pyramids. So it is also a part of idea. And idea of gates – using them you can travel to distant places in space. Anywhere where they setup, you can go, using a combination, just like a telephone number.

And also, Alkons are here. They have created this secret base. And with a special purpose. They made it to look like abandoned. Or it looks like it is with low intelligence gronagroids. And a real thing – it is a network of bases, you can move by them, by using teleports hall. Through which is going equipment. And that’s why bases can be empty.

Alkons closed the exit from the base and blocked all upper levels. So, you are here closed with gronagroids. And to get into teleport hall there is no access.
