You might like these: Canvas Cycle

[–]Biomekanisk 7 points8 points ago

These trigger my imagination so much more than modern video game-graphics do. Reminds me of many great adventure games of the past. Thanks for sharing!

[–]hain 2 points3 points ago

I know exactly what you mean. I could sit for hours staring at those. I don't know why, but they just feel much more "alive" to me than any scene in Skyrim, beautiful as the graphics may be.

[–]Greymouser 5 points6 points ago

Random question. Is there anyway you can get these types of images to display as your desktop image on your PC? Just would be kinda neat to have these for display.

[–]rendej0 -1 points0 points ago

yea you have to save them onto your harddrive then through the file set as desktop backround

[–]Greymouser 0 points1 point ago

I tried that, however, they're not animated. Wondering if this is a .gif thing or what? I'm trying to make sure the image keeps moving on my desktop while I view it, rather then a still. Any ideas?

[–]rendej0 0 points1 point ago

works on my computer although im still using xp so im not sure if windows 7 allows it or not

[–]Ramtastic 0 points1 point ago

I have XP doesn't work for me when I saved it and set it as a background

[–]Greymouser 0 points1 point ago

No dice with Win 7 64 bit, though its quite possible I'm just doin' it wrong.

[–]Danaxeil 5 points6 points ago

I don't want to be that guy, but, source(s)?

[–]tribalspoon 3 points4 points ago

I'm pretty sure they're from King of Fighters 2000? I know the desert one is, and the rest look really familiar. Could be a mix from KoF 99 and 2000.

[–]LiquidSteak 2 points3 points ago

The top one is from Garou: Mark of the Wolves, it's Freeman's stage

[–]Danaxeil 1 point2 points ago

Much appreciated.

[–]berlinbaer 1 point2 points ago

7 and 9 are from SNK vs Capcom: SVC Chaos

8 seems to be samurai showdown

[–]El_Rista1993 0 points1 point ago

Thanks, I also wanted to know.

[–]Givants 0 points1 point ago

Metal slug? Along with the jungle one

[–]Betriebsrat 0 points1 point ago

Pretty sure that the 2nd bottom is from samurai showdown 4

[–]franick1987 0 points1 point ago

From many fighting games: Garou Mark of the wolves, king of fighters 2000, snk vs capcom, last blade 1. More than one image will come from those games.

[–]Danaxeil 0 points1 point ago

Awesome! Thanks.

[–]DaemonBlack 2 points3 points ago

It took me two seconds before I started imagining dudes fighting. Sigh

[–]ArgonWolf 2 points3 points ago

I will now make it my quest to use these as desktop backgrounds somehow

[–]Sunflower_Fortunado 1 point2 points ago

In the bottom one, are you in a thing that's moving or are the things in the background moving?

[–]fizziebob 1 point2 points ago

Wow, I didnt know pixelated cinematography in gifs was a thing, its really cool

[–]Pianotico 1 point2 points ago

Some of those looked like great 2-D fighter arenas.

[–]seahorseparty 0 points1 point ago

The top two really remind me of Hey Arnold backgrounds.

[–]Jetpack123 0 points1 point ago

Damnit are these all from the same game?

[–]luctheman 0 points1 point ago

The first thing i was thinking about was Metal Slug.

[–]troxnor 0 points1 point ago

Looks to me like Superbrothers Swords and Sworcery... but i havent played much of it so im not sure

[–]Thtb 0 points1 point ago

nope

[–]marty20k 0 points1 point ago

Great stuff

[–]skeddles 0 points1 point ago

wow, I don't know who did this, but they're one of the best pixel artists out there

[–]Mantoshius 0 points1 point ago

Awesome Two thumbs up

[–]tahunami 0 points1 point ago

Makes me want ot play Monkey Island or Broken Sword

[–]Ichi_sama 0 points1 point ago

I miss SNK.

[–]jimbaker 0 points1 point ago

If only I could use these for my Facebook timeline cover...

[–]MinorThreat89 0 points1 point ago

feels like broken sword

[–]criticalnegation 0 points1 point ago

someone needs to figure out how to desktop these...

[–]TheRedComet 0 points1 point ago

The second one looks like TF2's 2Fort sewer tunnel.
