Re: "old-skool" game ideas
I'm kind of confused. Are you looking for tiles from those SNES games to use in ZQuest? You'd have to use some tile ripper program.
Sorry, I just didn't understand your proposal.
Re: "old-skool" game ideas
The proposal is to name two games from our youth you couldn't live without and would like to see remade using Zelda Quest. I think. Anyway, here's mine:
Sonic the Hedgehog (Genesis) : This game got me into gaming. Come on, it was cool when you first played it. It's not now of course, what with all the extra characters and whatnot, but back then Sonic ruled! I still have a cuddly plush toy (Umm... not sure if I should have admitted that!). It would be impossible to remake in Zelda Quest, but there are some other programs doing a very good job of emulating the gameplay, with my personal recommendation being Sonic : Project Mettrix.
Alex Kidd in Miracle World (Master System) : Wierdly. I never finished the game, and I can remember very little about it, but I do remember obsessing about it! I also remember getting mad that I hardly ever won the Rock-Paper-Sissors contest a few levels in. Grr! I can't remember what the gameplay was like, so I'm not sure if a ZQ remake is possible, but it would be nice if something at least looked like it. Ah, the memories.
whationcewas, the best way to get graphics from games like Earthbound is to rip them yourself - make screenshots and edit the graphics from there. I'll have a skim to see if I can find any sites out there that's already done them for you, but don't be suprised if I can't find any.
Cool idea for a thread, btw. Not sure if it'll come to anything, but it's a nice idea all the same.
EDIT: Misread the idea. My bad. It's actually a cooler idea then I thought.
EDIT: Here you go - a whole bunch of Earthbound graphics. If you need help with the engine or anything, then I'll have to direct you to the other forum sections, but if you're gonna go through with it, I'd be happy to lend a hand where I can.

THe Genesis version was way, way, waaaaaaaay better. Much more akin to the real Shadowrun than the SNES version was. The Genesis version's top-down view would make it easier to adapt to a program like ZC, as well.
