Bogus, dude!

@horitaizo

Side blog of tudykturbo for Taizo Hori (Dig Dug) to use sometimes so he doesn't get in the way. .... Oh who am I kidding, he's ALWAYS in the way. I track horitaizo as a tag, so if you want him to see something, this is how to do it! This is the best way to get him to notice you. body { background-image:url(' http://i.minus.com/iXeDYa9q4hqqi.png'); background-attachment:fixed; background-position:left; background-size:20%; background-repeat:no-repeat; background-color:#E3EDEF

These are old now (black and white one from April 2020 and the colour ones from February 2021), but since tumblr is where a fair bit of these characters happened for me, I figure it’d be nice to share

If some of these ring a bell and you want some nostalgia, you can find my old Turbo blog at @tudykturbo, my old Taizo blog at @horitaizo, my old Ataru blog at @horiataru, Bokumono stuff on deviantArt and my Pulseman 2015 comic at pulseman.co.uk

From the tweets;

This was a really nice blast to the past, actually… I hope there are at least some out there still that these mean something to and that they can give you a smile!

Thanks to all my friends for taking part on this, even the ones who took part through PM, you made this endeavour very enjoyable! Here are a few bonus pics, a couple who from my past who didn’t make it in and an alternative Ataru.

((Hey guys! If you’re interested in Pulseman, check out this site! It’s a work in progress, but it has lots of information and such on it already. :) Just thought I’d spread the love!))

Hey, this site is really good and well put together! I really suggest you guys to check it out, it has a lot of questions about the game PULSEMAN explained as well as items and bios translated.

From the get go you can get nice looks of the sprites as well as the story behind it all.

Most importantly, you can find out where you can purchase this gem!

Do you like platformers? Games about being a hero? Technology and the ability to jump in and out of the digital world? Do you like Game Freak? Then take a look at this site and this game! It’s extremely gorgeous and well made!

((Characters in suits involving helmets! =P Ha! Anyways, another obscure game from Japan, even more so than Mr Driller! Check it out!))

do you guys have a deviantART account?

((What do you mean by guys? If you mean the person who runs this blog, it's just one person and this is my dA account though I currently don't use it.... if you mean the characters as a roleplay account, nope, they don't. =>; ))

And yes, they really do have transparent bits like that. You can literally see the background through them. This is all you get in the game as far as Undergrounders go.

Large sprites of Taizo, Fygar and Pooka from Dig Dug Arranged (Namco Classic Collection Vol. 2) (Arcade). Not sure where these are used... but they were in there so I ripped them out.

And yes, he really does have transparent bits like that. You can literally see the background through him (just like Taizo in the original Dig Dug), unlike the blocks. The angel ones he DOES have wings and a halo, but obviously you can't see them on white. They are there. (This is a transparent image.)

Title Screen sprites of Taizo, Fygar and Pooka from Namco Classic Collection Vol. 2 (Arcade).

The second set of Taizo was another palette I found in the game on that section... but it worked so perfectly on Taizo I ripped it too. I'm not sure what that palette was actually for... But orange drill pump instead of green!
