Ideas for DUDE SHINOBI sprite art

[DragonLord1975]

No doubt the DUDE SHINOBI video game is big in this comic, but I've always wondered how it plays out.

From what I seen and heard, it's got a Double Dragonesque, Ninja Gaidenish feel to it. I was wondering if you can incorporate the infamous "Game Over" screen from the Ninja Gaiden arcade game (where Ryu Hayabusa is strapped to a table as a buzzsaw lowers toward him) and have DS be the sacrifice instead.

Nostalgia is very huge. Lots of 80s elements are out there, Explore them all at your own leisure.

I love that continue screen from the arcade version of Ninja Gaiden (for anyone reading this that's not the know, we're talking about this). And in fact, we already have a continue screen in the Double Dudes game that's inspired by it. If you look in the background of the final panel of page 3 of Issue 1, you'll see that Dude is strapped to an altar, and a cultist is slowly lowering a sacrificial dagger toward his cock as the continue timer counts down.
