You might have met decinoge if you hung out on the old Insert Credit forums - he's a sprite artist from Portugal with a strange but utterly pure love of Communism, outdated rendering techniques and Watermelon Fanta. More relevantly, he just released ZAMURAI, a beta of a flash-based game he's been working on as a college project. It's a strange platformer featuring a bevy of classic characters reimagined using the old CGA graphics set (which you might remember from classic IBM-compatible games like Alley Cat). Combat and control aren't too hot (use the arrow keys and left Ctrl) but the old-school aesthetic is captured perfectly. I predict that someday soon this man will do amazing things, then resurrect Stalin just to spoil it all.
