Game Sprite Archives - 0 views

    There are many sprite sites out there, and many of them have sprites others don't. So, to save you the trouble of googling multiple sites for a specific sprite, I'm posting a THIRD sprite site. I know of a couple more, too. This one is great because they copied the sprites from their favorite videogames. There are many users, all posting sprites!

List of Sprite SItes - 1 views

    Whilst surfing the web, I found not another sprite page, but a forum containing MANY sprite page links! Individual sprite pages are useful, but this is a solid block of links leading to different sprite, background, etc pages! The guy who posted this forum is quite helpful to us who are too lazy to look for pages ourselves.
