Apple ][ Mark pixel art and Arcade Tapper screenshot edit (for real this time)
🕑 Added 2024-12-02 00:36:51 +0000 UTCOkay, now with my vigor replenished I felt eager to do more Apple II art in 816 Paint and drew Mark this time, quite expected after doing Zed. Gonna draw Jack too as I'm getting pretty good at this stuff even though it's pretty hard to do with program's limited functions combined with complicated rules of Apple graphics that I think are the craziest graphics I ever worked with. As you can see, I'm so happy of finally mastering Apple II graphics I REALLY want to make it known that it's nothing but Apple II exactly haha. 
The Apple logo is based on this image I found in web, had to redraw it from scratch since I have no way to load images in emulator for now. There's filtered and clean versions as usual.
And only today I noticed one awkward moment about my previous post. At first I got a sudden decision in the very end to add Tapper screenshot edit to it because it's already the second time I forget to post it here, it was supposed to be posted long time ago with my previous Commodore 64 and Spectrum art, I already prepared the text, changed the title, added the images but then I thought "Nah, it's too much for one post already and it would be better to add a simple 2-frame animation to it, still next time...", so I removed the text, the images... But not changed the title. I noticed it only today and felt quite embarrassed.
So, if any of you noticed it and felt confused, well, this is what happens when an artist does gigantic posts at 5am but now here it is. A very simple quick thing I did in about half an hour about one or two weeks ago.
Tapper is an old 1984 Arcade game which is considered a cult arcade classic, maybe not as iconic as Donkey Kong, Mappy, Dig Dug or Bubble Bobble but still it was known and ported to numerous systems. Its gameplay is pretty simple, shown above.
There's also a good video showing how bizarre some system ports of this game looked compared to each other. It's hilarious.

Of course you know how I feel about anything beer related, I can't help but have kinky thoughts about it so I just had to get a quick horny idea about Tapper one day.
I simply took main character's sprite and redrew it completely plus added Zed chugging beer below. Really loved this game's wacky style with weird bold outlines which defy the modern rules of a good pixel art, I find some charm in it and decided to replicate it with my boys.
