"Impossible Creatures" has new purpose thanks to PrintScreen option.

So I was playing around with the PrintScreen option yesterday, and though my attempts to screencap Beast Wars failed, a much more interesting idea popped into my head afterward.

I gave it a shot this morning, and I can (fairly) easily get screencaps from my old Impossible Creatures computer game.

So yes, with some limitations (game doesn't have dinosaurs, and certain combinations are limited), I can now pump out computer rendered Fuzors. :grin:

Edit: Pics so far (will label later):

heeheehee!

I like the Cheetah/Pirrana one. They all look so funny, but cool at the same time! :grin:

Thanks. :D

I'm hoping that even some of the goofier looking ones will make decent Alt Icons. The better looking ones people might be able to use in things like MTMTE pages and such.

Some of those are disturbing. Silly Maximals and Predacons wanted to go to animal forms but now want to forms in one.

:grin: :P

Dang; the game has neither a duck nor a beaver. :?

Some of these critters are too horrific for a horror flick. :?

Bwahahahahaha, these are awesome. If only they were a little bigger, I'd so be alt-ing these right now. :grin:

How big do you need them? :grin:

It adds a couple steps, but for the ones people would actually want it's no problemo.

Though obviously the resolution degrades:

that's a workable resolution right there... :)

Oh yeah, and I dug out my demo for some of my creatures:

Wolverine/Ram fuzor

I'll try and post a few more soon, but I have to open my game, find the animal, print screen, close out, edit in paint, and repeat for each one... : [

EDIT
Image
Wolverine/Babboon fuzor

DOUBLEEDIT:

Skunk/Mountain Lion fuzor

I was afraid that was what I was going to have to do at first since the windows-button doesn't work in this game, but I've been using ctrl+alt+del to get out of the game in order to paste the picture. Then I can just hit the tab at the bottom and pop back in.

Edit II: I gotta go take care of some stuff; will hopefully be able to do more later.

Edit: Altable Size I hope:

Ahhh, clever, very clever. That makes things a whole lot easier for me.

And while I'm here...
Image
Archerfish / Snowy Owl fuzor

Image
Archerfish / Mountain Lion fuzor ... this thing creeps me out. XD

Image
Mountain Lion / Grizzly Bear fuzor

Image
Porcupine / Skunk fuzor

Image
Grizzly Bear / Owl fuzor

Image
Musk Ox / Wolverine fuzor

Image
Ram / Mountain Lion fuzor

Image
Baboon / Cheetah fuzor

Image
Kinda pointless, but it's a Cheetah / Mountain Lion fuzor.

Don't have anything else really interesting though. That's what I get with the demo, lol.

For those wanting to make requests, here is a list of all the critters I have access to. I only lack the "Creature Chaos IC mod 4.2"; I'll see about downloading it later - it took me a couple of years before I was able to successfully download the two official patches though, and if the mod replaces creatures instead of adding them I won't bother.

I have the full-version of the game and now you reminded me to go and install it back into my computer. GAH!! Gotta love Impossible Creatures!

If you have them, how about Grizzly Bear + Warthog? Given the apparent limitations of the IC game, that looks to be the closest combination possible to Manbearpig :P

I'll try to do the best looking combinations of each...

Edit: All done, see first post.
