Hi!! You probably already knew about "Sunman", a never-released Sunsoft game.
The game is about a new superhero called Sunman, but everyone believes it was supposed to be a Superman game. So i tought "Well, I will change Sunman into Superman"... I don't know if it will be a fast task because Sunman have zillions of sprites to be replaced. It will be a Black-and-White game.

The last I remember it was on http://www.lostlevels.org.

http://www.lostlevels.org/200311/200311-sunman.shtml

It looked like a pretty cheesy Superman ripoff, but I never got around to playing it.

But, your black and white rendition looks really great macbee, gives it a really old-school look that I really dig.

----------------------------------------------

Admins, feel free to delete the link I gave (now that I think about it)
Technically, it was never released, and I'm not sure how the rules apply with that rom.

A black and white NES game? Sounds dumb.

Hello again!

Well, looks like the Black-and-White Superman became a controversial subject.
NES palette is very limited. The characters can have only 3 different colors, but for Superman, I needed to use 4 colors (Black, Red, Blue and Yellow/Skin color).

My solution was to make it Black-and-White. With the Grayscale, the color limitations are gone - Nes have in its palette Black, 2 variations of Grey and White. It's a strange way to solve the problem, but at least the character will look like Superman!!

Some friends from the board talked about the Retro-look. Well, I liked it. When I played the hacked ROM in NNNesterJ for the first time I tought: "Wow, it looks like a 40's Superman!"

I can't please everybody, but I will try my best in this GFX-hack.
Thanks for your positive opinions and for the critics.
Sory about my English errors!
Macbee

You can get around this limitation with a bit of extra hacking, by modifying what palette number Superman's head uses.

You mean the game wasn't originally like that? That's different then. It'd be dumb for a commercial game but with a ROM hack where 'sales' don't matter and there's no such thing as cost, it's practically impossible to have a bad idea.
