Has anyone 'extracted' graphics from commerical games that they
could send me?

I am interested in background graphics and/or sprites (preferably
in DEGAS or NEO picture format) used within scrolling games such
as Blood Money, so that I can squish and de-colourize them, and then
port them on to my 8-bit Atari to be used with a scrolling routine
I'm working on.

Any help as to how to do this myself or lists of what you've got
is greatfully received.

Mmmmm,

     I hope these aren't direct ports from these commercial games otherwise
you will have some problems, other than just technical implementation of
the project.

     In fact, you may need to hire some lawyers.
