Here’s pixel artist Paul Conway with an excellent Lucasarts x The Thing mashup. Because SCUMM always needed the option to tie someone to that fucking couch.

Pixel art can often feel nostalgic, hearkening back to those bygone days of cathode ray tube monitors and floppy disks. It’s easy to think of modern pixel art as stuck in the past, a mere retro inspired throwback. But that’s giving the form a disservice. There’s more to pixel art than pure nostalgia, as I argue in…

If you’ve ever wondered who would win in a fight between Mega Man X and an Ice Sword attack from Chrono and Marle, well, now you know.

Mario, Vault Boy and Mega Man have teamed up to kick off Pixel Pals, a new line of pixel art figures from peripheral maker PDP. They are obscenely collectible.

Undertale, naturally for an RPG where you can befriend monsters, has dates. A fan decided to slightly expand one of them.

Digital artist Zedotagger is really good at making animated demakes of Dark Souls. The tone remains faithful to the series while it’s turned into scenes from an imaginary 90s game.

That’s some damn good pixel art. Looks straight out of a high-quality RPG—even though it’s not: it’s “merely” an isometric, 23-color piece done by DeviantArt’s noaqh. You can check out his other pixel art scenes over here, in his gallery folder.

Those are some wicked lighting effects. The GIF comes from the devlog for MegaSphere, an action-RPG-roguelite-platformer currently being developed for PC, and is one in a series of GIFs demonstrating a newly introduced weapon, Storm. Lots more info here.

Snake is about to infiltrate Camp Omega in pixel artist Catherine’s beautiful giffy recreation of Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes’ opening.

Pixel artist Junkboy reimagined John Carpenter’s classic movie They Live as a cool beat ‘em up game from the early 90s. It’s got all the characteristics of side-scrolling arcade games, complete with breakable windows and smashable cars.

"This is what I think Wind Waker would look like on the SNES," writes gilamasan, the guy behind this piece of Zelda fanart. "I imagined the sailing would be done with Mode 7 graphics like in Super Mario Kart and F-Zero." Looks about right to me. Head over here to see more of gilamasan's artwork.

Featuring excellent pixel art and some self-deprecating humor from the very talented Paul Robertson.

Gotta love me some meta pixel art. Redditor jiraph52 "made a giant Hotbar" in Minecraft. Not much else to say, is there? You can find more closeups in the embedded Imgur album below.
