Well well, we have a response from the Video Game History Foundation ! There are no remnants of Spiffy in the source repository that we had access to and, in fact, there is nothing in the code suggesting that it was ever displayed in-game (believe me, this is the first thing I looked for). The sourc...

Have you considered contacting the Video Game History Foundation ? Since they were able to obtain the game assets, it's possible they even have the original Spiffy image. Excellent idea! At your advice I've reached out to them to see if there's anything they might have that'd aid either a faithful ...

It could have been in here. And in case it wasn't, it is a very interesting video anyways: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikaqus5_QIg That's the interview! What a treat it was, and really helps paint a better idea of what the development was like. Especially liked Mark Ferrari's bit. The joke gets...

LogicDeLuxe! Thanks for replying sir. And thanks for adding Spiffy to the game! ...and it was just a joke to the box art.

"Later in the week" as if I could stay away that long. This is abouts my "first pass". From here on I'll divvy it up and try to get each bit right. After that I'll use other gradients in the game to try to estimate the number of colors to interpolate in the background...shooting ...

Hey folks, just wanted to check in that I've started and I'm in it for the long haul. I'm about 6% through the process in this pic, some 2 hours' work. I estimate that's about 30 more hours of work to go. Here I am partly through my first pass- which is to get closer (not quite done yet obviously) t...

Thank you for your reply! Encouragement enough to get started. I will post a proof of concept here soonish, then will reach out to LogicDeLuxe. Please stay tuned!

Hey guys, I was playing the Ultimate Talkie of Secret of Monkey Island and CTRL-P'd to see the Spiffy's 'EGA based on scan', which most closely resembles what Spiffy actually looked like. But because it's me, I was thinking of spending a few hours to clean that sprite up, because it's made just by t...
