It's not like it's really got an end, anyway, but drawing the 8 bit style tiny pixel version of the packaging and trying to make it recognisable was fun!

It didn't...I have my methods Sir!
It only took about an hour of actual drawing (save for a few added bits at the start of each new GIF), once the basic stick figure parts are done, there is very little extra drawing at all, just animation, one GIF at a time, using the same stickman over and over (tho he does different stuff).
The fiddliest bit is adjusting the timings at the end, as they each have completely different frame counts.

I love......8-bit art. Next time, try using an Amiga. Or my Atari ST. (Wait, those are 16-bit) um... or an Amstrad CPC464. Not that I have one of those.
OK, Try a BBC Micro. It has the same Graphics chip as the first IBM PC.
Nyaaah.

Which one?Might be able to sort you out. I have various 8-bit Commodores and Ataris, and Sinclairs, and a BBC Micro, and some Amigas and Atari STs. Don't have any Amstrads tho.
We even have a Commodore PET and a Vectrex...

Ahhh....I have a BBC Micro, Model B+ (64K). Used to have a Master, but it didn't work so I recycled it. I'll see if I can scrounge some more from work.
I've got an Electron without a Power Supply if that's any good?
Also I have an Archimedes 3020 and an A5000 and A7000... the RISC-OS version of elite is considered to be the best one so get in touch if you want an old-ish RISC-OS Machine....
