Dynowarz: Destruction of Spondylus
Fun game in my opinion. Brings back memories. Had some really cheap tricks to it, like mines that would knock you backwards, set right on the edge of pits where you would land if you jumped over them while allowing yourself a margin for error. Not a common game that I know of though. I ran into it once, and bought it on the spot, haven't seen it again since. Not even on this site.

Anyway, first time poster here, and I wanted to submit an evenings work, which is basically what I hope is every animated sprite in a game not covered on this site: Dynowarz..
I'm not SURE it's every frame of animation for everything though, and I'd like someone to look it over, see if I missed anything, give constructive feedback, that sort of thing. The sheet may need some organizing, dividing out player character sprites from the enemies. I only have one color for each enemy, the game uses a lot of palette swaps to keep the enemy colors interesting, and I didn't bother to get every color, instead just trying for the animation frames.
Oh, and it's on a black background because that's how the game is. Everything has a black background, and no sprite has black in it that I know of. Should your sprite pass in front of a colored background(platforms, and some backgrounds have stars), the sections of the sprite that look like they should be black(eyes, outline, etc) turn out to be transparent. I figured leaving the background black would be easiest, letting you view them in their "natural environment" so to speak.
I still need to make the icons and such, but honestly I'm not sure how often I'm going to be able to work on this, so besides looking for feedback on how to organize, uploading as is might be the best way to cover this little game. Unless someone else has heard of it and is working on it(a quick search of the forums turned up nothing, but my google-fu is weak and I may have missed something).
So, if I can't get back here, then I've at least given something to upload, and if I can, I'll make it prettier and better in meeting with the standards of this site.
