Requested Anonymously.

Living proof that all it takes to turn geriatric retirees into fully psyched supersoldiers is some noodles and a few lewd magazines.

The Rookie, oddly-coiffeured alien blasting grunt from the famed old school strategy game “Xcom : Enemy Unknown”, now rendered in a mildly tiny 18 x 20 pixel resolution.
Turns out that Guile from Street Fighter has a LOT of brothers…but whereas Guile has dedicated his life to punching the faces of Interpol agents, Russian wrestlers and green-skinned junglemen, his brothers have taken on the task of shooting the faces off of alien invaders instead. There’s always one odd one out…

Despite a couple setbacks (I accidentally deleted a large amount of the assets by accident - don’t judge), I present - Mass Effect as a turn-based sprite game !
I took a little inspiration from Mother 3 and decided to mock up a “battle screen” , and despite the lack of background I think I captured the basics pretty well.
What do you think ? I’ve got an “Alternate” version coming up in a few minutes, so stick around !
Here is an alternate mock up of a sprite based handheld “Mass Effect” game, but this time taking inspiration from “Famicom Wars”.
Again, imagine that I hadn’t stupidly deleted half the assets and think about the possibilities…
Imagine a turn based strategy game in the “Mass Effect” universe, where you could make your own team of commando units and fly off to other planets to fight enemies in tiny strategic battles. Add in multiple factions to play as (Cerberus ! STG ! ), persistent character upgrades and levelling, a little character customisation and the ability to pitch your commando squad against others around the world, and you have yourself a little bundle of brilliance.
Seriously Bioware, just call me or shoot me an email. I would LOVE to help make this real…
Blooregard Q Kazoo, imaginary friend of Mac and one of the many odd-looking residents from the (now cancelled) cartoon “Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends”, now rendered in a teeny tiny 12 x 18 pixel sprite.
Unfortunately, his normal eyes just don’t look right when turned into such a small blocky form. Might have to make another attempt later…
