The bold in the “2” makes me think it is indeed a Mechwarrior game, just the wrong installment. So, Mechwarrior 3?
Getting colder with the guess, but warmer with the line of thought!
Original Mechwarrior
What tools do you guys use to mask the box art and slowly reveal?
I use Photoshop, but there are a number of free options online that have been discussed (in this very thread, I believe). I’m not personally familiar with those, to be honest.
Paint.
No, really. I just make the frames all at once, and in reverse order.
The humans?
This cannot not be Paradroid or you are not the real Chappers.
That would be too obvious.
Nope, this game dates back to the 8-bit days
BC’s Quest for Tires?
Nope.
Well that’s giving it away, isn’t it! Everyone’s a Wally?
Q*bert?
No, it isn’t actually, but it was a clue.
Nope.
Is that a bed in there? I’ll go with Pyjamarama then.
