2018 Frame Game

A Metal Slug?..Lets say Metal Slug 3 to pick one at random.

Not a Metal Slug. I had never linked the current publisher to Metal Slug’s graphics, but it’s true they share a bit of the same esthetics.

R-Type?

Indeed, it’s R-Type Leo, one of the most beautiful pixellated games ever.

Oh, shit - I was right? Man. I only know like one side-scrolling shooting series that looked like that (I played the hell out of the first R-Type on… I want to say it was my SNES but it could have been TurboGraphix16, I cannot really recall).

Well. I better come up with a frame here then…

Probably Turbograx16/PC-Engine, as the port of the first arcade game was a masterpiece there!

The Deer God?

I was going to guess R-Type in the very first frame, but the scan-lines and the other suggestion of Metal Slug made me think it was too new looking to be R-Type.

Never second-guess your guts!

Songbringer?

kingdom new lands ?

Hyperlight Drifter

Getting warmer!

Rain World?

Oh I like that guess.

I’ll toss in a similarly artistic Ori and the Blind Forest

Dead Cells?

You got it!

I don’t have access to the full image, I’ll post it tomorrow morning, but the stage is yours! Congrats!
