Current Gaming Mood: Smoke ’em Poker

by Alxala

I’ve been playing an old Windows 3.1 game under DOSBox called Smoke ’em Poker. It’s a card game where you play against up to 5 opponents simulated by the computer. This is what the actual gameplay looks like:

The main objective in this card game is to defeat all of your opponents in order to win the game:

I’d say this is a really fun card game to play, and what I like about this are the quotes from old-school movies and TV shows as sound files corresponding to current situations. What I also like about this game is there’s a feature that you can save your game during your progress. Awesome!

Anyways, I’ll play this some more and then off to something new (old). 😛

Smoke On The Water, Fire Filled The Sky

by Alxala

I’ve been playing around some more TF2 recently after selling a few pieces of junk from the Steam market including my unpainted disco ball eyes to purchase the ones with purple paint:

The reason why is because I wanted to complete my Pyro loadout with three cosmetics that are painted purple.

My Robot Chicken hat would also go along with that loadout very nicely.

Yep, I have now become the Deep Purple Pyro. 🙂

Enjoy Some More Sprite Sheets

by Alxala

Last night I’ve been having fun with some MS-DOS games such as Poker Galore and Blackjack Plus, and I thought I’d rip two sprite sheets of playing cards that I’ve taken from both games:

These playing cards are from Poker Galore.
And these ones are from Blackjack Plus.

Now I’m at the point where I must take a break from sprite sheeting… for now.

Another Round of Game Sprite Sheet Shenanigans

by Alxala

I’ve been working on another game sprite sheet after playing a little bit of the Game Boy Color version of Scrabble:

I also submitted a sprite sheet of the game’s intros and title screen. If anyone is interested in checking it out from TSR then feel free to click on the link right here.

Game Sprite Sheet Roundup

by Alxala

I’ve been working on some more game sprite sheets and then publishing them in The Spriters Resource. Here’s a couple of them:

This is a sprite sheet of all playing cards and card backs from Hoyle Classic Card Games for DOS.
A sprite sheet of the title screen from the Game Boy version of Beavis and Butthead.

I also uploaded some more Game Boy sprite sheets from Caesars Palace and Beavis & Butthead. More sprite sheets will be published soon.

Painted Weapons of War, TF2 Style

by Alxala

I’ve been recently selling a bunch of Steam trading cards, and purchased enough money to buy a few TF2 War Paints from the market. Here are three of my weapons that I’ve redeemed after using up all three of my War Paints:

I’d say those are all excellent selections for me, and now I’m fully satisfied with them. 🙂
