Newgrounds Presents: Video Game Parodies

- Video Game Parodies
One of the most fun things to do with Flash is play around with old video game sprites (characters). You can search for sprites on the web, or make your own! Simply download an emulator, find a rom for the game (note: if you don't own the original copy, this is illegal!), and rip the sprites out yourself! I do this by making screen grabs and cutting out the characters in Photoshop. If there is an easier way, I'd love to know! :)
Once you have your characters, you can create all sorts of sick debaucheries in Flash. Some of my favorites thus far have been ones dealing with Mortal Kombat. We have broken up the more popular video games into their own collections!
Some great series have been made around spoofing video games in general. They both happen to be AWESOME!
Video game parodies have a lot of charm due to their retro look. It takes a lot of work to import bitmap images into Flash and make them look good. I personally enjoy 16 bit graphics the most, but we'll start by examing these parodies of classic 8-bit (and worse) games!
The graphics in 16-bit games really give me a warm fuzzy feeling. Check out these great parodies of Genesis and SNES games, along with some other more modern games!
Streets Of Fighter 1.2 Worlds collide as Street Fighter and Streets of Rage share the same universe.
These spoofs go beyond 16 bit!
Others go well below...
Some on-line games get spoofed!
Finally we have some spoofs that transcend video game graphics...
