Donkey Kong

The picture is scaled 2x because of the low native resolution.

Created this one as title pic for a conversion of the arcade game.
It was pure pixelwork, but I used so called sprites to enhance the vertical resolution. Those sprites are mostly known in 2D games as character objects. C64 is capable to show 8 of them per line and so they are arranged like puzzle pieces on top and bottom of the screen. So the vertical dimension rises from 200 pixels to 242 pixels.

Picture format Commodore 64 Multicolour:
- screen resolution 160x200px
- pixel aspect ratio 2:1
- preset 16 colour palette
- screen subdivided in colour cells, size 4x8 pixels
- one global background colour, 3 individual colour allowed per cell

Specs for Commodore 64 Multicolour sprites:
- Size 12x21px
- pixel aspect ratio 2:1
- 1 transparent colour, 3 sprite colours
