I made redesigns of his versions which help them look more accurate to their originals, while also adding some features to the ones who were too similar (minus Blade cause so dang tiny). I'm assuming that is part of why you invited me.
I'm also gonna admit I'm rather persnickety about sprites when it comes to the DOS games looking like NES ones.
I'm also the one who is holding onto the 8bdm versions of the weapons since I designed the functions, while they keep true to the originals a to an extent they have some added features that make then different, I would suggest using those.
I as well know a way to actually fit BOTH games into the cannon story line without modifying them in any way.
Lastly for the bosses, I don't know which of the maniacs made this but it adds some new attacks to their pattern, possible inspiration for them, maybe Gauntlet remembers who made it.
themechanicalmaniacs.com/sinis…Additional note, Nemz of Cutstuff already did all the textures
cutstuff.net/forum/index.php?t…And I, along with a lot of other people did most of the weapons as well

Oh I also have the boss song made by Kacklebango as well.
