Radsicle! When did you do these? BTW I'm so thrilled there are other people in the world who know what Bubble Bobble is... I've been so alone for so long

I'm working on these daily actually so what's up is all I have done so far. I can't say I've felt alone on knowing about Bubble Bobble since I have 6 siblings but yes, it is also a much loved game for me as well. ^_^

This alphabet is absolutely spectacular. I'm going to stitch it, even if I don't have kids and I don't plan to for a few years.
Just a little upset that M is not for Monkey Island, but hey...

Thanks for sharing with us!

There are so many really great series it was very hard for me to chose one for M, so I went with the one I had actually played on the NES. I can make you a M is for Monkey Island if you like though. As long as sprites exist it can be done! ^_^

You're right, M is also for Metal Gear, Metroid and Maniac Mansion, just to name the first three games that came to my mind

I'm just amazed at how easily you can come up with perfect matchings for patterns and letters. And yes, as somebody else has pointed out, even the frames are a work of art! I can make basic stuff with PCstitch, but I can't even start thinking how to do what you do.

As for J, there isn't really much -- the only games that come to my mind are Joust and Jak & Daxter, but maybe the second one is too new for what you're doing...

Looking forward to the last few letters!

Not to mention I originally though I might have to do M is for Mario, but thankfully I used a bit of a lope hole for it ^_~. I have to confess, I'm not getting them out quite as fast as you think. I made my own list one night with three of my friends for what video games to use and then sketched out my basic layouts for most of the letters and that took me about a week. It's also one of the reasons I mainly chose games I've played, I can design them a lot easier.

Yes, J was VERY hard to do. I originally had Jak and Daxter but there was only sprites made for Jak and that right there means dead end. I really did not want to do Joust just because it is so uninspiring >.<. If I had to I would have done Jurassic Park or something...

Anyway last few letters should be up this weekend so keep a look out! ^_^

(p.s. I'm so excited you've played Manic Mansion! I can never find anyone that has. ^_^)
