HAHAHA
Cool, I like Donkey Kong
How many of those were ninty?

How come the Zelda image doesn't include more color?
|

Colin, like with all images I just selected & cropped the source image and the rest was automation – take a look at the original, from where I picked main character Link walking on grass:

Oh, was this the gameboy version of the game?

I would love to see what the original NES version of Zelda would look like with your process.

Added a space to the image URL since I didn't host the image.

Colin, do you have a GIF version of that one? For the other pics I only used non-compressed versions as basis...
|
|
How awesome :) Especially the Giana Sisters one. It's nice to see that some people still didn't forget about that game.
|

Try this one:

Wow. Find it added to the original gallery ("Zelda II").
|
|
This looks like abstract art, though not so abstract.
|
|
Philipp, haven't you ever played Zelda? It's Link, not Zelda!
Or are they listed by Game?
|
|
James, I know his name is Link (as you can see by my comment above ![[Up]](/forum/image/arrow-up.png) blogoscoped.com/forum/118892.h ...) and no, I have never played Zelda :)

You should...I still do, Wii FTW!!!

Hmm, you also get interesting results if you take a larger photo, then resize (not resample) it to something like 22x... pixels and then apply the same vectorizing to increase its resolution again. Below is Marilyn Monroe and Sean Penn.

The Zelda II image looks like a fancy pocket knife. The Marilyn Monroe image is almost recognizable but the Sean Penn one isn't.

This has been featured in one of the major French newspapers:

Wow! you're getting quite famous Philipp
|
|
I had similar results with tiny little icons (should I say 'sprites' if it comes from 80's? :D): VectorMagic does a great job with a few pixels and the vectorization is easily recognizable, as long as you don't zoom more than twice the original size. Then it's pretty awful ...
With more pixels, VectorMagic does a great job whatever the picture: what an astonishing algorithm!
