    Thanks James, yeah I tried to keep it limited to the EGA 16 colors. That pixel style is harder than I thought it would be.

  • @BarryTSmith
    @BarryTSmith 10 лет назад +40

    Ok, this is just am amazing homage to Space Quest.

  • @Ohbowz
    @Ohbowz  12 лет назад +2

    It's that 16 color EGA, there was a charm in how much the old games squeezed out of their own limitations.

    I loved the CEO sequence when the one was spinning on the floor, hilarious!

  • @Ohbowz
    @Ohbowz  12 лет назад +1

    Yeah, there are some colors that were not part of the original EGA 16. The old games also used a dithering effect to create the illusion of more colors. I just added the extra color where dithering would be needed (since the pixel plugin for flash didn't let me dither) A lot of the sprites were traced over the in game sprites.

    I'm not sure exactly, it was roughly 10 weeks nights and weekends. I can only work on my stuff at night, because I have a day job.

    @RichardHoogstad 6 лет назад +1

    So much awesomeness. Wilco's horrendous SQ1 pixelation, PC speaker door sounds and fetching kreycards from dead bodies. Great job!

    @yenreg189 10 лет назад +5

    This is the most AWESOMEST thing I have ever seen in my entire life.

  • @Ohbowz
    @Ohbowz  12 лет назад +1

    I used a pixel plugin for flash.. It's called "Pixel tools". I wanted to start this earlier, but didn't have time until July.

    @branchmedo 12 лет назад +1

    I don't know whether to cheer or cry with joy first. The Space Quest games were my favourite series growing up and you have captured every aspect of them so perfectly... thank you. Thank you so much for making this, I can't put anything else into words for just how incredible this is.

  • @dysamoria
    @dysamoria 3 года назад +3

    This is one of the coolest bits of modern-retro nostalgia I’ve seen in years. I LOVE everything about it! Classic graphics. Classic music. Classic humor and spirit.
    GREAT WORK!

  • @Ohbowz
    @Ohbowz  12 лет назад +1

    Yeah those are sprites from SQ3, which I believe were based on real people at Sierra. Definitely Ken Williams walking down the street :D

    @vaporizejello 6 лет назад +2

    Man, this made me so happy. Best thing I've seen in years! Decades even!!!

  • @Ohbowz
    @Ohbowz  12 лет назад +1

    You should check out Full Throttle, it was pretty damn good.

  • @RognarB
    @RognarB 12 лет назад +3

    Really impressive pixel animation, best one I have seen in a great time!
    Thank you for making me feel 15 years younger :)

  • @BrawndoTarrlyton
    @BrawndoTarrlyton 12 лет назад +1

    This is awesome! Although what blows my mind the most, is the fact it looks and animates like the old VGA classic.

  • @SevenNights7
    @SevenNights7 12 лет назад +2

    I'm a big Space Quest fan, and I can't thank you enough for this. Awesome animation skills!

  • @TheDeejay01
    @TheDeejay01 11 лет назад

    Months later and this is still one of my favorite animations. Thank you for this! (also the newspaper at the intro remains one of my favorite things that exists)

  • @Ohbowz
    @Ohbowz  12 лет назад

    Yeah, there was some weirdness with frames being dropped, it should all be resolved now.

  • @Wyrmshadow
    @Wyrmshadow 11 лет назад +1

    Just had a nostalgiagasm after watching this. EVERYTHING is just like the 3 original games.

  • @riftecstasy5035

  • @Ohbowz
    @Ohbowz  12 лет назад

    Yes, it was more time consuming than I anticipated. I'm using a pixel tool plugin for Flash that makes things a bit easier.

  • @pythariosdn3236
    @pythariosdn3236 10 лет назад

    Pixel art style simple, yet fantastic work. Absolutely astounding and very much reminding of Dragons Lair or Space Ace

  • @Skyrilla
    @Skyrilla 12 лет назад +3

    I respect you for remembering this awesome franchise... and the two guys, hah that's awesome...
    Man, you're right, though... Ever since Sierra took a dump (I always feel extremely nostalgic when I think back of those times), things just went down the drain for the entire gaming industry.

  • @Pavielpetrovich
    @Pavielpetrovich 12 лет назад +1

    And are the four guys at 0:05 anybody in particular? I think I might see Ken Williams there, but I'm not entirely sure.

    Oh, wow, the Space Quest games. I loved playing them as a kid, even though my english back then was pretty poot. I had more than one nostalgic moment when I watched this vid :)
    And Activision has the SQ rights?!? DAMNIT! They ARE soulless! They and EA.
    Anyways, love watching this video. I hope Scott Murphy and Mark Crowe will see it, too!

    This is my favourite Bowz cartoon! It makes me sad that it's got millions less views than the other videos by Bowz. It just proves that the general youtube audience 1. don't subscribe or if they do, don't use subscriptions and 2. only watch things if it's based on a popular/current game. :(
