Welcome to Tatakau - Famicom/Nintendo, Super Famicom/Super Nintendo & Neo Geo Game Sprites

2,106 pictures and animations from 93 games for your enjoyment & web page use.

September 21st 05: Added a few from Madou Monogatari (A Puyo Puyo RPG), translated by the kind folks at Aeon Genesis.

February 19th 05: Update! I bought myself Disciples 2 Gold which is just filled to the brim with delicious sprites, waiting to be ripped--er, lovingly enshrined on my site :) -

June 16th: I got a nice letter from Videogamesprites.net, and updated the link at the bottom with their button. I need to make myself one of those, one of these days... :)

April 30th: Sorry about the web site not working so great the last few days. Our old web host was having some major trouble, so we had to move. I believe I've fixed just about all the links now!

February 26th: I'm back! My it's been a long time ^_^;

I got my little hands on a copy of MAME and a whole new universe of quality sprites is suddenly within my grasp! If only MAME had more sprite-capture friendly controls...

Anyway, here's the first game I'm working on: Dungeons & Dragons: Shadow Over Mystara. It's got a biiiiig dragon! And owlbears!

April 22nd: I've implemented a code change on our server which will keep people from 'inlining' images off of our server (that is, to load a picture from my server as part of one of your web pages). I certainly am happy if people want to use these images on their own web pages, that is what this page is all about! But I also need to conserve my bandwidth usage, so please save the files to your own server and load them from there. Thank you for your understanding :)

April 13th: Dual Orb 2 is better than I expected - the plot was pretty average at first but now it's gotten fairly interesting!

Feb 3rd: My friend Mr. Mackle brought up the game "Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest", and I just had to run it again. Oh, the memories...oh...the bad sprites!

November 17th: I bought "Breath of Fire 4" and I'm really enjoying it. It also has fabulous sprites! But, I'm having trouble capturing animations smoothly. I put up the "Blue Goo" animation but I know it's missing some frames.

If you play Japanese RPGs, then you probably know that "tatakau" means "to attack".
It is also, just an extremely cool word to say... ^_^
