Sprite Art - Spawn, SNES

So I just popped the Spawn video game into my SNES earlier today and was reminded of how great this game looks and sounds.

Spawn for the SNES featured some incredible sprite art. The main character in particular - the so-called Spawn, if you're not familiar with him - was one of the most well-made sprites in SNES history for my money. Seriously, play this game and take the opportunity to appreciate his animations, especially while moving. Gameplay feels tight and the animations are fluid.


Here's an example of Spawn's incredible sprite sheet. You might have to see it in motion to really appreciate it.

As if that wasn't enough, Spawn also features an incredible soundtrack and a unique special move system that I've never seen in any other game. A gem across the board.
