By "console" I just meant that they were an all in one unit, that was created by one company. Like those macs where the computer is built into the screen. Unlike PC's today where you can assemble one from a bunch of disparate parts made by many different companies. I realize the Atari computers were proper computers. ^_^
I'm currently making a game with this color pallet. Mostly out of nostalgia. One of the younger artists has become fascinated by how people back in the day used to combine colors to trick the eye into seeing a color that isn't there.
It's ok. I only just found your message, too! I guess if you came from something like the Amiga or the Atari ST then it would be like going backward. Though after doing a quick search it seems they all came out around the same time. But those were console style all in one computers, like Macs today. The custom built PCs that we have today come from the IBM lineage. Which took ages to finally get decent graphical hardware.
I guess I just have a lot of nostalgia for this color pallet. Also, I think it takes a lot of skill to get it to look good.
I have to say, I thought your comments on EGA color was pretty harsh. I guess you didn't like any of the Keen games, or any of the mid generation Siara games? Oh well. Each to there own I suppose.
It's Public Domain man, do whatever you want with it. Though if you do decide to put it in your game, it would be really cool if you could send me a link when it's done. I'd love to see it.
@capbros: Thanks, though other than the coloring it's really all Surt's stuff. It's just that the house tiles are from a much more up beat lookign set.
This is a really good edit. I love the sword. Though I think maybe you should move the sword on the attack animation up a little. Just so the sheeth isn't under the ground at the start.

Hi, I went to your website and your stuff looks really good. But after a few clicks around the links stopped working for some reason.

@DezarasDragons: Thanks! ^_^
Hay man, the GIF is animated on my screen.
Nice Work. ^_^
Man, I love this sprite.
