I'll stick to just 2 and leave the rest to better people than me.

1. The space go kart as you said, the ship from Fantasy Zone (sega ver. obviously)

2. The guy climbing is the guy from crazy climber.

That's the guy from Bagman. Nice game.

Bagman




Kind-of reminds me of the Shoney's bear: http://www.digitpress.com/forum/images/avatars/gallery/Avatars%20I/a-bentley.gif


Bentley Bear



It's red...could be a robot: http://www.digitpress.com/forum/images/avatars/gallery/Avatars%20I/a-berzerk_r.gif

A yellow version of that robot[?] http://www.digitpress.com/forum/images/avatars/gallery/Avatars%20I/a-berzerk_y.gif



they are off berzerk, no idea what they are called



Not sure, what this is, but it looks like Arthur from Ghosts 'N' Goblins, but with better animation (and it sort-of looks like it's on a sega system). http://www.digitpress.com/forum/images/avatars/gallery/Avatars%20I/a-gng.gif


spot on :)



Weird...http://www.digitpress.com/forum/images/avatars/gallery/Avatars%20I/a-gorf.gif


That's a baddie from GORF



Not sure, as I've never been a fan of racing games, but I'll guess Excitebike: http://www.digitpress.com/forum/images/avatars/gallery/Avatars%20I/a-hangon.gif


that's Hang - On



I think it's a hot dog from Burger Time: http://www.digitpress.com/forum/images/avatars/gallery/Avatars%20I/a-hotdog.gif

Kinda reminds me of Golden Axe: http://www.digitpress.com/forum/images/avatars/gallery/Avatars%20I/a-magicsword.gif


as stated above, that's from magic sword

[Mayhem]

You do realise looking at the filenames helps here? ;)


No clue, but it sorta looks like a booger cannibal: http://www.digitpress.com/forum/images/avatars/gallery/Avatars%20I/a-amidar.gif

Bad guy from Amidar.


Looks like a racecar driver: http://www.digitpress.com/forum/images/avatars/gallery/Avatars%20I/a-arabian.gif

Arabian hero.



Uhh, he apparently likes guns: http://www.digitpress.com/forum/images/avatars/gallery/Avatars%20I/a-cloak.gif

From Cloak 'n Dagger.


Dracula, from Kid Dracula? http://www.digitpress.com/forum/images/avatars/gallery/Avatars%20I/a-drac.gif

Think that's the vampire from Rainbow Islands.


Looks like a spider: http://www.digitpress.com/forum/images/avatars/gallery/Avatars%20I/a-spider.gif

From Centipede I presume.

[RJ]

Heh, I dont even know what game my avatar's from. Just thought it was the best to represent me.

BTW- the "dinosaur"/dragon from Dig Dug has a name- Fygar.
The round guy is Pooka.

[cyberfluxor]

Ok, this one's easy, it's Bobble: http://www.digitpress.com/forum/images/avatars/gallery/Avatars%20I/a-bobble.gif
Actually, the name of the main characters from Bust-A-Move & Bubble Bobble are Bub and Bob. The Green one is Bub, Blue is Bob. I do believe they are supposed to be some kind of dinosours.


Looks like an old time gangster from a Bugs Bunny cartoon LOL : http://www.digitpress.com/forum/images/avatars/gallery/Avatars%20I/a-imsorry.gif
This is from a newer game for the PC called "I'm Sorry" that was created based off Jack Thompson's anti-game violence campaign for someone to create a game bashing violent video game companies (Ya...). You should check it out.

As for the rest of the icons, you should look at the names of the pictures because that's a dead give-away on what they are from.

[Garry Silljo]

I'm pretty sure the Vampire is from Ghoost House on the SMS. Released here in the states on a card, may be a cart elsewhere.

[Dire 51]

You got the name right, but the game wrong:

I'm Sorry (http://www.klov.com/game_detail.php?letter=I&game_id=8171)

Well, the newer game uses the same character. I just figured someone made a smaller icon from the newer game.

[Kitsune Sniper]

Well, the newer game uses the same character. I just figured someone made a smaller icon from the newer game.

It's not the same character. :P Both games use a generic Japanese person as their main character, but I'm Sorry uses what appears to be a salaryman (office worker). I'm Okay (A Murder Simulator) uses a fat guy which looks Japanese, but has glasses, is balding, has a combover and huge lips. It's based on many different 'funny' ways to draw characters in anime and manga.

Oh well, something like that. They all looked the same to me at the time.

that's an easy one, it's hydr0x obviously LOL

[o2william]

It looks like Satan, but I have no clue what game this is from: http://www.digitpress.com/forum/images/avatars/gallery/Avatars%20I/a-devil.gif
That's from the end of the Atari 2600 game Squeeze Box. You're a prisoner trying to shoot his way out of a room where the walls are closing in on you. When you lose, you see this picture. I'm not sure what it means... you were executed and ended up in hell? You were already in hell? Weird ending.


It's a duck! From what, I have no clue: http://www.digitpress.com/forum/images/avatars/gallery/Avatars%20I/a-duck.gif
That's the duck that eats your ammo in Carnival.


Whatever it is, it looks cool: http://www.digitpress.com/forum/images/avatars/gallery/Avatars%20I/a-frenzy.gif
Power generator from Frenzy (sequel to Berzerk).


Dinosaur from Dig Dug: http://www.digitpress.com/forum/images/avatars/gallery/Avatars%20I/a-fygar.gif
Right, its name is Fygar.


Looks very familiar, but I can't put my finger on it: http://www.digitpress.com/forum/images/avatars/gallery/Avatars%20I/a-invaders.gif
Space Invaders (Atari 2600 version).


Looks like the other karate dude: http://www.digitpress.com/forum/images/avatars/gallery/Avatars%20I/a-karate.gif
From Karate Champ.


This looks sorta like the red thing a bit above it: http://www.digitpress.com/forum/images/avatars/gallery/Avatars%20I/a-ladybug.gif
That's the ladybug from Ladybug.


MONKEY!!!! (no clue what it's from though): http://www.digitpress.com/forum/images/avatars/gallery/Avatars%20I/a-monkey.gif
From Congo Bongo.


Looks like a spider: http://www.digitpress.com/forum/images/avatars/gallery/Avatars%20I/a-spider.gif
From Centipede.


Mario Turtle: http://www.digitpress.com/forum/images/avatars/gallery/Avatars%20I/a-turtle.gif
Technically it's a "Shellcreeper." :) From Mario Bros.


Atari Logo: http://www.digitpress.com/forum/images/avatars/gallery/Avatars%20I/atari.gif
Hail the mighty Fuji! (The name of the Atari logo if you didn't know.)

[DDCecil]

Isn't the "Level 1 Ninja" from Magic Sword?

[Moo Cow]

Ok, did the first page, I'll type up the second page a little later on.

Special thanks to all of those who contributed something, clarified things, corrected me, and all that jazz.
The few, the proud, the Digit Press members.

[cyberfluxor]

o2william & Mayhem for the win!

Oh, and as for the Rainbow Island Dracula.. I've been trying to get the Bubble Bobble/Rainbow Island combo game for the Saturn for quite some time now. I never see it around here but on Ebay it shows up once a week (US version). It generally goes for around $15 after shipping, is it worth it or just hold out til I randomly find it around here?

[Arcade Antics]

EDIT: Bad guy from Amidar (thanks Mayhem): http://www.digitpress.com/forum/images/avatars/gallery/Avatars%20I/a-amidar.gif

EDIT: He's from Arabian Hero: http://www.digitpress.com/forum/images/avatars/gallery/Avatars%20I/a-arabian.gif
Just wanted to nitpick. :D The Amidar guy is a "savage" and the other guy is the player character from Arabian, not "Arabian Hero."

[Moo Cow]

Thanks Arcade Antics!

[NE146]

Dracula from Rainbow Island (thanks Mayhem): http://www.digitpress.com/forum/images/avatars/gallery/Avatars%20I/a-drac.gif

That is not Dracula from Rainbow Island. That is Dracula from Monster Bash!


EDIT: Space Invaders (thanks Insane David): http://www.digitpress.com/forum/images/avatars/gallery/Avatars%20I/a-invaders.gif

Those are the 2600 Space Invaders. Not "The" Space Invaders (which implies the original arcade game). Big difference. :)

[ShinobiMan]

EDIT: Fantasy Zone (thanks Kentucky Fried) http://www.digitpress.com/forum/images/avatars/gallery/Avatars%20I/a-opaopa.gif

The characters name is Opa-Opa.
