New arcade classic

Some months ago, I posted an old drawing I'd done in high school of some sprites for a game I wanted to create. (Coming up with the rest of that game's description is still on my "to-do" list.)

 

Actually, truth be told, I drew videogame stuff a lot in high school. Mostly in my notebooks. Probably when I should have been paying attention in class.

 

This is the very concept behind a cool new game from Ambrosia Software: SketchFighter.

 

(The notebook drawings, that is. Not the part about me not paying attention in class.)

 

They took a very classic-style game, and created graphics for it that look like sketches out of a high school notebook. It's a very cool idea, and the game is a lot of fun, too!

(Mac only... sorry PC'ers.)

 

Ambrosia has a history of creating some awesome tributes to classic arcade games. If you haven't seen them before, check 'em out. Unfortunately, not all of them have been brought up to date for OS X, but there's still some really good stuff there. (Redline is awful, however.)

Sweet! I read about that a while back and was wondering when it was going to be released! I'll be good though and not buy it until Medieval Mayhem is finished :)

 

I love their game Apeiron X.

 

I watched a friend playing Redline and he played was a rather interesting network variation where you played on teams. One player on each team had a mini, the remaining had corvettes. The only thing that mattered was the laps made by the mini, so the corvette drivers had to either defend their mini or attack the opposing team's mini.
