I went on a mission to turn the juiciest art from surt's Space Merc into some actual tile sheets.
I wound up making a ton of edits and additions, and importing bits and pieces from surt's other work - mostly from the CC0 thread, but also from Omega Team, Beast Soldier, DarkNES, and Mines of Sharega.
I also laid the tiles out as 16x16 tiles, instead of 8x8 as surt originally designed them.
The backgrounds aren't in this sub - one of them is already in my subs (only the palette has changed slightly here), and the other two will be in a separate sub soon.

Amazing!
Awesome stuff!
Wow, this is really amazing
Here's the version of the Space Desert background used in the mock-ups on this sub. This is OGA-BY 3.0.
This looks even better than Turrican essets. This is great! Surt and Emcee Flesher - you are the best :-)
This is an insanly good coolection! Thx for doing this! Also thx to Surt for his fantastic pixel art!
Here's an explosion sheet that you can use with it.
The main explosion is just a recolour of JRob774's very pretty explosion (CC-BY 3.0).
The small ones are new, and intended for bullet impacts.

Nice! Looks like stages from Mega Man.
Somebody make some maps with this stuff, I wanna see 'em.
@Emcee Flesher: challenge accepted.

i don't think it's quite what you were thinking when you asked someone to "make a map with this stuff" but it turned out kinda nifty i think.
Oh, interesting! Looks like a more cuboid Minecraft-style sort of build would probably suit this way of using them.
I'm using these assets in not one but two games... a Metroid-esque platformer and a tate shooter. Credit is given in both games.
