For my graphic gift, I decided to use and old image of a Gameboy Color ad and insert an image of the Great Bill Cosby. The following are the two original images.
I basically cut out the gameboy screen portion of the ad and placed the Bill Cosby Texas Instrument CRN ad within it. I then took the Cosby layer and used the posterize option to make it look like an old gameboy color game.
This series of GIFs is in honor of the 1985 classic arcade game Yie Ar Kung-Fu. Ā I’ve already written about my love for this game on the bava, so I’ll save you my usual flood of verbiage.
For the record, this series of GIFs took me way too long. Each animated fighter is its own GIF, and my strategy was to beat each and every character in the game and then steal his or her image as a GIF (a double beat down) That plan went well until I got to Tonfun, then it went to hell. I kept getting beat up by Tonfun, so in the interest of time and family relations I found this video of a perfect gameĀ and got the animated likeness of the Blues GIF there. Nothing like starting the New Year with a cheat!
One last thing, you may notice that each of these characters animations are the same as they are in the “Hot Fighting History Next Opponent” cut scene for each of them. Still stuck on the animated GIF cut scenes idea for class arcade games.
I always knew Haunted House was a classic Atari 2600 game, what I didn’t know is that it inspired a whole new genre of survival horror video games! From the Wikipedia article:
Haunted HouseĀ is anĀ Atari 2600Ā video game, first released in 1982, in which the player (represented by a pair of eyes) must navigate the haunted mansion of the late Zachary Graves to recover the three pieces of anĀ urn. The game was one of the first home video games to feature scrolling graphics and a multi-level playing field, and has been identified as one of the earliest examples of theĀ survival horrorĀ genre by aĀ GameSpy article.
