Sprite Stitch Board!

My wife complained that everyone else had cross-stitch stuff from me, so we talked about games she liked and this is the end result: Gaming geek showdown - who can name the game?

Those are indeed roller skates
The shirt was from American Apparel. I remember when you could pick those up for $15 apiece, but now they're $25!
I'm not going to buy stuff from them anymore. :-/

I thought I could name sprites from pretty much any game. but this has me totally stumped. I'm actually rather angry.

Wonder Boy?

If it's any consolation, I'd never even heard of the game. (Though I don't claim any comprehensive knowledge of gaming history, I'd like to think I have -something- tangible to take away from all those summers holed up in the basement playing Nintendo.)
I spent the better part of a week tracking down the game - my wife didn't remember the name, so all I had to go on was "it had a horseshoe in it". I ended up finding a Java emulation online, and played while taking screen captures.

Nope
I swear I'm not making this up!
I'll give it another day in case someone out there wants to claim the mondo bragging rights. I feel kinda bad because I seriously had never heard of the game before.
