Name these 8/16-bit characters

[radjago]

I didn't make this, but it's awesome, so I thought I would share.

Name all the characters and their associated game/series.

 

[captainfrizo]

That is pretty cool.

I thought it was awesome when the knight from Wizards and Warriors appeared. I love that game.

All I could say when the dog from duck hunt popped up was "That ing dog!"

Don't know much about old school games, tho I did recognize a couple you didn't have. (I had to look up the name of the Maniac Mansion doctor guy tho.)

Nope, the file size is too big at 44kb or so. Actually, I am surprised it's that small.

Thanks, judyjudyjudy. I hadn't played those two games before so I would have never gotten them.

I'm so bored that I might actually extract each individual character from that gif later today so that we might guess the others.

I added a little info. But I think I recognized some of the other ones; they just went by too quick for me to figure out where in the list they were, etc. If we could get freeze-frames I think we'd get them all.

Edit: I'm pretty sure I recognized the guy from Legendary Wings but I may have put him in the wrong place in the list.

 

[banpeikun]

Put Blaster Master, Metal Storm, Legendary Wings, Astynax, and Battle of Olympus in their places. Gargoyle's Quest 2 was mislabeled as Ghosts and Goblins. Also corrected Princess's name in SMB2 and Startropics (as 2).

Thanks. I see a misplaced both of my contributions. Somehow I was thinking "duck" and put Legendary Wings after Duckhunt instead of Ducktales.

 

[Backlash]

Here's the guy that's after Dr Edison from Maniac Mansion. Just happened to look at the gif when it was there and took a print screen:



Edit: shit that didn't work too well (I was using MS Paint ) But you can still see it ok in the larger version.

 

[banpeikun]

i was on consoleclassix.com (is that right) looking at nes screenshots for that one. the closest were clash at demonhead and whomp'em, but i don't think they are.

 

[WildWop]

there's a Ryu from Ninja Gaiden in between Black Mage and Samus...

 

[cps2's-appleidog]

99.9% were all 8bit the only 16bit was Sonic and He shouldnt of been there it totally ruined the experince first off cause they were all from the Nes apart from that Stupid hedgehog, But anyway what a great lil picture

 

[Reality's Fringe]

The Dude from Contra is Bill Rizer.

Blue is Bill Rizer, Red is Lance Bean.

 

[banpeikun]

good ol' bill
