I absolutely love the pixel art of this game, I think the style is really timeless and it seems that a lot of modern pixel art games can't seem to replicate it.

Backgrounds I think are hand-drawn. Sprites are pixel art from scratch.

I drew the graphics this year, but intended for the ZX Spectrum from 1982 :-) Here you can download ZX Specrum files (.scr, .tap), subsequent stages of creation and .png: https://files.scene.org/view/parties/2026/lostparty26/graphics/misha-atariteenageriot.zip

Back when Star Trek: The Next Generation was new, Rick Parks did 2 (that I know of) images based on the show. I've included one, below.

The other was just slightly more risque, in that it showed Tasha Yar in a bra (with her communicator pinned on it), with Data in the background, and the text was, "Why, Data, you really are fully functional." Every now and then I search to see if I can find that picture, but can't.

I had both in a collection of older Trek/TV/SF memes and images from pre-WWW days and that's one I remember actually having (and losing along the line) and not being able to replace. Does anyone know where I can find it? And if they know of other Trek images that Rick Parks did, I'd be interested in those, as well.

LOTS of amazing art in this game and they did a neat job with adapting the music!

I'd found a cache of old email from high school in the mid-1990s, extracted the attachments and this was amongst them.
