Arrow 1 – The City of Crab-Tanks

Today’s pixel art is inspired by the video game Crisis Force for the NES console. It’s a dose of 8-bit joy—a game with that classic look. There are aliens—or whatever they are—and an endless flight sequence, level after level. You just fly along, watching what lies ahead. It’s an unforgettable feeling. And the levels can be full of surprises!

This is my drawing based on Crisis Force (NES). Alien insects have landed in the city, and their crab-tanks are already firing. Arrow 1 is you, and you’re already in flight. The approach to the city from the ocean is relatively clear—it’s the best entry point for this territory.

Lizards and Flies: The Heroes' Swamp Adventure

Today’s pixel art is inspired by the video game Might and Magic III for PC (DOS). It’s a grand, magical adventure—full of vibrant colors. You set off into a fantasy world, only to discover a sci-fi twist at the end. But for the most part, it’s all about swords and sorcery, wizards and warriors. It’s a great time, featuring SVGA graphics.

This is my drawing inspired by Might and Magic III (DOS). Adventurers are gazing toward the horizon—looking into the distance—and heading that way, crossing plains and swamps. The main thing is not to get bogged down in the mire—to avoid the moment the grass suddenly turns to muck and you sink into the water. That happened to them just two days ago, right here in these parts. But today is different; they’ve gained experience. They’ve chased down and caught huge, fast-flying flies. Now, a new adventure awaits: swamp lizards. They haven't even seen the creatures yet, but these lizards are stealing everything in sight from the village.

A lizard stole the wizard’s staff and the warrior’s sword. That’s exactly why they need to tackle this quest right now—to retrieve their gear. Plus, as the wizard suspects, they’ll likely find a heap of other interesting items along the way. It’s a lucrative mission.

Hey Dimalink! 😄 You HAVE to admit this Pinkie Pie pixel-art image is adorable! 💗✨ Look at that huge smile, the fluffy pink mane, and those giant sparkling eyes!

Give Pinkie Pie a chance — she’s basically pure happiness in pony form. 💕🎉 I think this image deserves at least a 9/10! 😎

Techno-kinetics

Today’s pixel art is inspired by the video game Super Contra for the Dendy console. It’s an 8-bit, super-intense action game—incredibly varied and packed with excellent sprites. There are even top-down levels. High-octane action. Techno-bases and robots. Explosions galore. And a variety of colorful bullets and lasers. The game was impressive for both its graphics and its fast-paced gameplay.

And here is my drawing inspired by Super Contra (NES). The magnetic field has shifted. A base hovering over the ocean—right in the middle of a storm. Strong, choppy waves. A sky heavy with clouds. The mission: stop the device that’s altering the magnetic field—and the climate. But it looks like this isn't the place. It’s a trap!

A massive number of mercenaries at the base are already moving toward you. And there are bound to be robots and cyborgs in the mix, too.

Hey Dimalink! 🎮🔥 Can you try my game, Techno-Kinetics Remix?

It's a retro arcade shooter inspired by classic games like Contra! Dodge enemy bullets, blast enemies, collect power-ups, and unlock the Spread Gun to fire in 5 directions at once! 💥

It's easy to start playing, but can you survive and get a high score? 😎

I'd really appreciate it if you gave it a try and told me what you think! 🚀

Dungeon Marble – The First Riddle

Today’s pixel art is inspired by the video game Might and Magic III: Isles of Terra for PC (MS-DOS). An adventure in a fantasy world—a realm of vibrant landscapes and dark dungeons filled with diverse creatures. It is wonderful to encounter a new creature—sometimes one with a fascinating design—or to visit a new location and be amazed. The world is full of wonders! And magic!

This is my drawing inspired by Might and Magic III (MS-DOS). There is marble flooring with patterns—unique designs on every single tile. A secret likely lies hidden within them, though it remains a mystery for now. I probably need to find a clue—some text or a manuscript hidden in a cupboard, a wall, or a chest.

The adventure began with a riddle. You never know what comes next. You have your sword ready; you have your spells prepared. Yet, it all started with a riddle—another unexpected turn.

The Autumn Katana

Today’s pixel art is inspired by the video game Ninja Gaiden II for the NES—an 8-bit ninja adventure, likely from the 1980s or very early 1990s. In essence, it draws from those VHS-era ninja films, where ninjas—dressed in a kaleidoscope of colors, much like the Power Rangers—leap about. Here, a ninja with a katana is in the thick of a serious, grand adventure.

This is my illustration based on Ninja Gaiden II (NES). It’s a cold autumn day; it rained yesterday. The ninja sprints along a stone path, vaulting over enemies—there are so many of them that only his speed, combined with the swing of his katana, can save him. Magical power even allows him to take flight for a brief moment.

But some of his foes possess magic of their own. They guard the Sword of Autumn—the Autumn Katana—and it won’t be easily won. You’ve become hopelessly lost in this labyrinth; some sort of sorcery is at play, rendering your original map useless.

A teleportal opens in October, remaining accessible for just 30 days. Those who dare may attempt to claim the Autumn Katana. This enchanted realm, existing outside of space and time, is protected by guardians—many have tried, yet none have succeeded.

Fortunately, it’s only an 8-bit game cartridge. If you lose, you’ll simply see a "Game Over" screen—you can always try again tomorrow.

A Tower of Glass – A Wizard in Flight

Today’s pixel art is inspired by the video game Might and Magic III for the PC (MS-DOS). Islands of magic, sorcery, elementals, and dungeons—you will encounter a wealth of spells, incredible tales, and breathtaking sights. The islands of Terra await adventurers.

This is my illustration based on Might and Magic III (MS-DOS). You have reached the summit, and there stands a tower—clearly magical, crafted from glass and stone. A vast stained-glass window stretches all the way to the top; you have never seen a structure like this before. And it is no dream.

A wizard in a simple robe—yet he is flying. There are several wizards, or perhaps it is just one, conjuring copies of himself. He drifts through the air, his face hidden from view. He knows you are there, though he pretends not to—or so you think. You are at a loss for words.

Such are the wonders of this world. You have traveled a long, arduous path, battling many monsters along the way. And now, you have arrived—at the final destination. After hours of climbing and combat, having ascended a rocky mountain along a stone path beneath a bright, clear sky, you find yourself confronted by something you cannot comprehend.

The wizard asks you to leave. It seems there is no reward to be found here; it would be best to depart this tower and head back down.

Cosmic Vegetable Garden

Today’s pixel art is inspired by the video game Gun Nac for NES console—a classic shoot-'em-up. It features things like carrots and quirky little characters. It’s been a long time since I last played it; I really should pop the cartridge back in and fire it up on my TV. It’s a fantastic game—part of a series that also includes titles like Guardian Angel and Zanak.

This is my drawing based on Gun Nac (NES): carrots from outer space and cheerful little figures soaring through the void. It’s a moon-like planet—seemingly empty at first glance, but then—aliens! Giant carrots and little beings, all capable of flying through space. It’s 8-bit fun at its best!

Your starship emits a massive energy beam—a beautiful, sweeping blast that cuts through space like a shower of confetti. You’re moving at such high speed that you have to stay sharp—you might even get eaten by a carrot by accident! At these velocities, it’s hard to tell what’s edible and what isn’t. The little characters love to snack while they fly, too—it’s a whole cosmic vegetable garden out here!

They’re busy harvesting their space-grown crops, while you’ve arrived to hone your starship-piloting skills among the asteroids. Quite a lively little scenario, isn’t it?

An Icy Sea of Crystals

Today’s pixel art is inspired by the video game Might and Magic III: Isles of Terra, originally released for the MS-DOS operating system. It is an adventure and role-playing game set in a vast, open world—spanning multiple floppy disks—featuring plains, deserts, dungeons, and some truly extraordinary towers and locations. Only the most seasoned adventurers will ever get to see it all and discover the secrets of the Isles of Terra.

This piece is my own creation, inspired by Might and Magic III (MS-DOS). An unusual and inexplicable event has unfolded: ice has descended upon a world that once held only meadows and arid deserts. What you see ahead are not clouds, but an ocean of ice—a vast expanse of crystalline shards resting within a frozen, magical sea. This sea is now drawing ever closer to the mainland.

We are at the edge of the realm, where observers report a biting chill blowing in from beyond. A massive, icy barrier—resembling a fog, yet composed entirely of frozen crystals—is approaching. The mages believe it will not encroach upon the land itself, but will instead remain at the very fringe. Yet, there is a fear that strange and otherworldly creatures might emerge from within it. While the deep freeze may not sweep across the realm, a frozen ocean of crystals will stand at its threshold—and no one knows what might emerge from this icy sea of crystals.

Road Sector – Night Racing

Today’s pixel art is inspired by the video game Vice: Project Doom for the Dendy (NES) console. It features excellent graphics, and the game kicks off as a racing sequence—very much in the spirit of The Road Warrior. Later, it shifts into an arcade-style action game, reminiscent of Power Blade. It’s a truly cool 8-bit action title, blending racing with run-and-gun gameplay. I’d love to see a film adaptation of it on a VHS tape!

This is my own illustration based on Vice (NES), depicting an outpost sector of the city. The roads here are treacherous, and the racing is perilous. It’s highly recommended to equip vehicles in this sector with rocket launchers—small-caliber, short-range rockets are just the right fit for a car.

Racing competitions take place throughout this long, dangerous stretch of road, which is full of unexpected encounters. A racer in a red car—who hasn’t revealed his name—has clearly prepared his vehicle with great care. He drives a high-speed red machine, outfitted with rocket launchers on both the left and right sides. He’s banking on this setup to help him survive this treacherous road sector.

Deep into the night, the city lights begin to flicker on. The race is about to begin.

Three – In a World of Sand and Sea

Today’s pixel art is inspired by the video game Might and Magic III: Isles of Terra for the PC (MS-DOS). Adventures and character progression—what could be more exciting? Perhaps stumbling upon yet another dungeon and discovering an intriguing item inside—a powerful sword, perhaps, or a new spell?

This is my illustration based on Might and Magic III (MS-DOS). Three adventurers have disembarked from their ship, finding themselves on an unfamiliar archipelago. Such is the call of adventure! They have arrived in search of new spells, magic, weapons, and armor.

Sand. It’s hot here. They saw many things while crossing the sea, but now there is only sun and warmth. For the moment, the landscape seems quite barren. The ship didn’t even stop—you simply jumped overboard, and now you’ve arrived at your destination: an archipelago ripe for adventure, filled with the new, the unknown, and a world brimming with mysteries.

It is a world of sand and sea—or so a passerby remarked when asked about this place. Not exactly the most detailed information! It’s sweltering out here; it would be wise to find some shade—or perhaps a small dungeon—to put one’s skills to the test.

A white plush bunny – hopping is such a joy!

Today’s pixel art is inspired by the Tiny Toon Adventures video game for the Dendy (NES) console—one of my all-time favorites. It’s about a cheerful, kind-hearted rabbit who absolutely loves carrots and has the ability to transform into other creatures, each with its own super-powers. The first level is so delightful—full of grass and sunshine! The second, however, is a gloomy castle. Wow—what a turn of events!

This is my drawing based on Tiny Toon Adventures (NES). A white bunny is hopping onto a fresh patch of grass. He’s white, fluffy, and he just loves to hop—well, he is a bunny, after all! What a wonderful day! The sun is shining, the grass is growing—it’s the perfect time to hop!

And there’s plenty of room to hop around! It’s a cheerful, kind, 8-bit world—just like something out of your childhood, where all your plush toys, little animal friends, and companions have come to play. Let’s hop! The weather is fantastic—it’s summer! It feels just like the first day of summer—it’s always like that here!

Ahead lie endless hops across an infinite summer field. You could even wander off the path and take a little nap in the grass. There’s a meadow, a lake, and a stream where you can stop for a drink. Oh, and there are frogs, too—hopping frogs! But that’s a whole other game.

Cold Corridor

Today’s pixel art is inspired by the video game Might and Magic III: Isles of Terra for the MS-DOS platform. Role-playing games have always held a strong appeal for fans who love immersing themselves in virtual worlds—so, off to a realm of fantasy and magic!

This piece is my take on Might and Magic III (MS-DOS). The dungeon features a soaring chamber—a long corridor with a high ceiling. It’s freezing down here; a bitter chill permeates the air, and the very stones are cold to the touch. In the middle stands a sealed chest, carved from stone and immense in size.

Should you open it? It’s the classic dilemma—the kind that might haunt your dreams later. Healing supplies aren’t infinite, after all, yet the urge to see what’s inside is hard to resist. Is it the right choice to try and open it? Or should you examine it first? What if it’s a trap? A monster could emerge, or a massive shard of ice might come flying out of nowhere, striking like an arrow.

Everything here is so mysterious. Every dungeon demands its own unique approach, with its own distinct quirks. Why is this chest sitting here? It’s just another vast corridor—as if it were built for giants.
