Anybody up for a blast from the past?
Sea Satan [Metal Slug 4]
<-- And this sure as heck ain't no yellow submarine.
Surprised? I did a rip of this thing a long time ago, and recently thought while looking at it "You know what? I think this deserves an update.". And here we are.
So this time, I've ripped everything from the tiles, uncovering a few things in the process.
1. Different "face" sprites. Looks like they considered a different look for the top compartment, but then went for that face-like helm in the final. Maybe it's a good thing, 'cause the proto-look seems so... generic.
2. Appearently the missile launcher would've shot its missiles at different angles at some point.
So you may notice there's a few differences from the original rip. First up, the hatch sprites were slightly polished a bit. Second, the missile sprites here are different from the ones used in-game. It switches to another type after being fired.
And yes, I do wonder if anyone ever tried to sprite this thing's bottom.
