The VG Resource

Added:

Final Fight One (GBA)
Enemies and Bosses


The final boss of Final Fight and yes, the European version is censored like the early 90s console ports.

Rainbow Islands [EU] (NES)
Playable Character




This is a bit interesting, while in Japan and America Taito released a version of Rainbow Islands (that is a bit different to the arcade), Ocean in Europe made their version that is more closer to the arcade version. I don't know why. Then again the Taito version was ported to the Master System so Europe did get both versions.

Combat Cars (Genesis)
Playable Characters




What is love? Baby don't hurt me, don't hurt me no more. Basically it is a difficult Micro Machines clone that rips off music mostly from the early 90s. Also I'm not sure whether to rip the commerially released Russian pirates of this game that changed the sprites (Gran Turismo 5, Fast & Furious 5).

Updated:
Final Fight One (GBA)
Enemies and Bosses


Didn't realise that Andore had two more mugshots until checking.

Added (the previous rips aren't on the site yet but it's okay, I'm patient):

Game & Watch Gallery 4 (GBA)
Modern Games

Misc


The Donkey Kong Jr. (Modern) rip is complete compared to the existing one on the site and the Gallery Corner has some unused stuff including development notes (the small, medium, large text) and text from the unreleased Japanese version. I don't know why it wasn't released in Japan, something to do with Tose I assume.

Buggy Run (Master System)
Misc


More from the Master System counterpart to R.C. Pro-Am.

All saved! Awesome!

Added:

GP Rider (Game Gear)
Misc




This game is actually a bit of a surprise. Not only that it was programmed in South Korea (which was pretty rare at the time) but also it includes a port of Super Hang-On (under the Grand Prix mode) that strangely scales better than the Genesis version so you get 2 games for the price of one. Plus it looks and plays good as well.

GP Rider (Master System)
Misc




The same can't be said for the Master System version. It feels like the Genesis version of OutRunners where half the screen is blocked by the CPU, it looks quite ugly and the engine even skips a bit with sprites not being shown (the largest sprites of the Roadside Objects aren't even displayed or partly shown at the most) so occasionally you see a red block sprite out of nowhere and it turns out to be another driver.

Riot Zone (Other Systems)
Playable Characters


The Addams Family (Master System/Game Gear)
Playable Character




The rip is dedicated to Raul Julia who played Gomez in the movie.

Added:

Daytona USA Deluxe (PC)
Misc




DAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYTONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, let's go away. That's right, I wanted to rip this classic due to that an admin elsewhere was playing online multiplayer with people and was offering the files required. I didn't get to play multiplayer since he changed the game that he was playing but at least that I got to play the PC port of Daytona CCE.

The files if anyone wants to know are compressed bitmaps so I had to learn command line in order to rip them (it was file by file when I first started then near the end discovered a few shortcuts so it ended up being folder by folder).

Oh and the reason why that these are in the sprite section and not in the textures section is because the textures use a .tex file that I haven't been able to figure out (the Saturn version of the game used the same file too). I know that they are compressed using the same method as the sprites but that's about it.

As for the remaining sprites, Misselaineous10 is helping me due to that there's some duplicates and due to my vision is getting worse, it's hard to tell from an exact duplicate or a sprite that has 1 pixel/few pixels different.

Sega Arcade Gallery (GBA)
Space Harrier


How many times have I ripped a Space Harrier game? 4th time now? (there's the X68000 version, the 3D Master System version and Space Harrier 2)

I'm not sure whether to make a section icon for the Space Harrier port (and split the other 3 games) or just an icon for Sega Arcade Gallery.

I remember, when I as a child, sitting in the arcade (without coins) just to listen this music and pretend I was playing... nice submission!

I can only remember Daytona USA for the Sega Saturn...

ROLLLLLLLINNNNNNNNG STAAAAAARRRRRRT!!!

Brings back memories

Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine (Master System/Game Gear)
Misc


Insert Robotnik quote from "That troublesome teenager has made me tear every hair from my BEAUTIFUL HEAD" to "If you don't, I'll melt you down MY WAY" to "Snooping as usual I see" here. This sheet replaces the Dr. Robotnik sheet that has been on the site for 5 years.

There are some sheets that are on the first page that haven't been uploaded on the site. Anyway...

5 years of sprite ripping as been quite a long time so it has gone back to a full circle with one of the first things that I have ever ripped redone. To be honest, can't really see this go on for much longer considering that most people are and will be texture ripping and model ripping which is why I'm going to be from this point stepping down from ripping. I'll still finish off Street Fighter 2: Special Champion Edition for the Fighting Games Project, still helping people and finishing a couple of requests but there most likely won't be anymore posts from me in this thread (unless of course some day I decide to go back to ripping).

To everyone who has posted in the thread from a thanks to some help, to the people who has uploaded the sprites on the site even to the people who used my rips for their own use (whether it is a MUGEN character, a comic or something entirely different), I thank you very much. I'll never thought that would make it for a year, nevermind 5 years.

Also this is a little gift (late Christmas present) from me, all the sprite rips that I didn't manage to finish from emulator troubles and also some tiles so if someone does indeed want a start they are free to use. If anyone wants it, it's here: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?syo82olx6agroic

Most people do it just for fun, because they have fond memories of old games or just want to use it for own purposes (games, comics, etc.).

I always take breaks and ripping stuff later, no big deal. Honestly, Models and Textures are fun to look at (icon-/sheet-wise), but they are kind of useless for me. And since I'm not really interested in them (and I guess you too), I see no point why I should ever stop ripping stuff which I like, just because people tend to rip more models/textures.

But well, have fun (didn't know how to end this post properly, so you can call me lazy and uncreative xD).

Oh, the memories... "Snoo pingas usual"... Yawack, you rock.

I'm sorry to see you go man. Thanks for all the rips. You'll always be a badass in my book.

This. Thank you for being one of the most awesome rippers EVER. We will never forget you.

And, that rip is absolutely fantastic, that game freaking ruled. See you around Yawa.

I've always said "Do what makes you happy." Even if that means you're looking for greener pastures, I'm glad we got to have you while we did.

I've uploaded everything except for Space Harrier and the TaleSpin Bosses. I'd personally just make a new section for the GBA Sega Arcade Gallery.

As for TaleSpin, there are two sections with that name in Other Systems and I can't tell which one is the TG16 version because nobody labeled them...

Check the tags on the sheets.
