Title: August is Semi-Obscure Sixteen-Bit Video Game Character Month!!
Post by: vudu on July 30, 2007, 10:40:29 AM
In order to celebrate our heritage (and the fact that we tend to know more about old video games than most people) I declare August is Semi-Obscure Sixteen-Bit Video Game Character Month!!

Pick a character (any character) from a sixteen-bit video game (SNES, or otherwise). Original sprites are encouraged, however, artwork and/or renderings (official or fan-made) are accepted. According to the rules, you shouldn't pick major characters (no Mario, Link, Samus, etc). A general rule of thumb: if your mom knows who the character is, they're not obscure enough.

That's from Chrono Trigger, more precisely Masa and Mune combined.

Not obscure enough! jk =)

Edit: and nice use of Valentina Goldenphoenix!

Fine.
I will be using one now, then later I will use another two from the same game.

3 of my all time favorite games represented so far with these obscure icons, nice!

Exactly .... Three top tier games

Not exactly obscure in my book.

This however:



was from a "fun" game

No, in fact I just checked wikipedia and the game in question is not even listed there obscure get!

This would actually make for hard trivia matches.... probably just like sound clips.  Online tools would be hard to use effectively against images.

Agile from X2.

Or whatever the "A" guy's name was.  Not Serges or Mace, but the other X Hunter.  It's the second time you face him in the third Sigma level.

Edit:  Looked it up, it was Agile, not Ail.

Great, I never played many SNES games, can't think of a character to use. My current one is obscure but PCs have been 32 bit since the 386 and I never had a 286...

You know what's shameful, I've played this game so long ago that I hardly remember any names (I had to check on wikipedia for both the Elle and Meilin names) except for the title itself (duh)...damn you square-enix, release this title on the VC already or at least anounce a remake for the DS ::am angry at squeenix:: .

So Kairon goes from no signature to one that makes GoldenPhoenix's look short in comparison; fantastic.

Title: RE: August is Semi-Obscure Sixteen-Bit Video Game Character Month!!
Post by: UltimatePartyBear on August 01, 2007, 04:16:14 AM
Mine shouldn't be too obscure since it was recently released on Virtual Console and appeared in one of Bloodworth's videos.  Here are a couple of others I almost used before I remembered that I already made the one I'm currently using.

Title: RE: August is Semi-Obscure Sixteen-Bit Video Game Character Month!!
Post by: KDR_11k on August 01, 2007, 06:18:13 AM
Pfft. I think "semi" is just the lower limit for obscurity, not the upper one so people aren't going to argue "but that's not obscure!". I think we had fairly obscure ones during the 8bit month.

EDIT: Party Bear, the left one looks like some kind of Super Shredder but what's the right one? Assault Suit Valken or something? Looks a bit Zaku to me but lately everything looks Zaku to me.

The left one is Kamaitachi from Ninja Warriors, a beat 'em up featuring cyborg ninjas with such creative names as Ninja and Kunoichi.  Those two aren't very interesting, being the Big Guy and the Fast Girl, but Kamaitachi has scythes on his wrists, which makes him cool.

The other one is the Nitro suit from Metal Warriors.  See?  There's a THEME.  It was an awesome mecha game by LucasArts.  The Nitro was the best suit in the game because it had a light saber.

I get to be the guy who gets murdered or dies in some mysterious way, only to have my previously unknown twin brother take my place, and everybody acts like it normal. You know... since all black people look alike anyway. :roll eyes:

Pshh Mashiro thinks he's such a big shot after performing his own stunt in the last scene, now he's refusing to show and is holding out for more money!

BnM we're gonna need you on set as you twin brother to seduce GP into giving you the key to the family treasure until we get Mashiro back.

Also ThatGuy we need you in wardrobe, if you're going to be adopted we need you wearing a sailor outfit with an oversized lolipop.



And... ACTION!

I just need a little more info about my character. Now am I my twin brother being my twin brother or am I my twin brother being me?
Cause I don't know if I can be my twin brother being me, I think I might need more time with the part for something that difficult.

And I asked for skinless grapes in my trailer, you know I can't eat grapes with the skin still on!! Why is it so hard to to find someone who knows how to skin grapes!!?

I said action not blacktion! get your arse on that set!

what's that even mean?

somebody get him a grape peeler so we can get things rolling, we're losing daylight and i need this shot to be perfect! BnM you're your actual twin brother and not your self, you've been reading the wrong scripts.

now in this scene i want you to to come in from stage left and look passionate as you open the door leading to GP's balcony

GP i need you to give me all sorts of confused, think you can do that?

Edit: ok my eye is feeling better, what's my motivation in the next scene?

And this isn't a porno right? >.> <.< one of those PG rated Soap Operas? I'll tell the girls to go home if that's the case.  

Ok anyway back on track.

Glad to see you eye is better but don't lose that eye patch or wardrobe will have a fit!

of course this isn't a porno!
not so fast with those girls though... We can use then for the hot tub scene, but send the prettiest one back to my office..

speaking of which, you there... Yeah you, the one who's name i can't remember.. You know who you are, you're not that guy but someone else... Your name escapes me due to a joke that traces back awhile ago... Anyway, call my wife and tell her i will be home late. Make something up if she asks why.

TAKE FIVE PEOPLE!
get ready for the next scene while we change sets

Cerics self esteem FTL ! you could of been anything else and went for assistant.. Tsk tsk

For the hot tub scene, do I get to come back as myself* and surprise my twin who has been pretending to be me to some people and my twin to others. It would help set up the story for why I'm sleeping around with so many women, and create many sub plots to be exploited for sweeps week.


*everyone only thought I was dead, they never did find my body... that leaves room for a flashback episode.

only if you don't mind us using a stand in with a bad wig to shoot from over the shoulder as we go back and forth as you two quarrel. as for why you're sleeping around i thought the viewers would assume its cuz you're horny** but i like your idea.

where's that assistant with my blonde?!?

IF Mr. Cure's Wife asks he has been rushed to the hospital with a Cocaine overdose.  Wouldn't be the first.

It has been decided that all Flashbacks will now be in the form of Puppetry to not confuse the audience.  Conversely all daydreams and fantasies will be done in anime style for the same reason.

BnM: You sleep with Women because you don't like yourself.  Your twin sleep with women to prove that he is not gay.

Mashiro:  We need more creativity in the eye-patch.  We're going to start tieing it into your emotions.

As for the Blondes there all Brunettes.  Sorry.

It's time for a coming of age story about love, death, discovery and sexual innuendo.

In an age where Mashiro wrote on a forum about Nintendo stuff, only one woman could bring him down . . . and crush his dreams.

"All I'm saying is we know little to nothing about how good it's going to be."

This Winter

The man everybody loved . . .



Will soon meet, his doom.



Randomly non-sensical battle scene with millions of warriors attacking each other with Wiimotes.

Well what about when my twin is posing as me and I'm posing as him. Is he sleeping with my women out of resentment for me!! And when I sleep with his women do I focus on their boyish figures and push for alternative sexual penetration just to bring about questions for when my twin is actually being himself?

Who knew having a twin could be so confusing...?

Mashiro: We'll fit that in in one of the Anime Daydreams.
BnM: I leave that up to you.  All actors should have a little freedom. *flexes whip*
EasyCure:  Now that your back we ran short of Flamingos so go suit up.

Where is my leading actress?  If she doesn't show up in the next day we'll replace here with a robot sent from the future with a fear of the moon.
