[Found: Magic Boy] Which game is Xenon's avatar taken from?

Which game is it from? I can't remember (or don't know), neither does Xenon.

Here are the PMs in which we discussed that:

I have a vague feeling of having seen it somewhere else before but can't remember at all.

Thanks in advance for your answer.

Yep. This snake was put to me by Frostwork when he made the first CD-444 compilation for CD32. I was one of the people who contributed to this compilation and as I didn't have an avatar, Frostwork put it.

It's a common enemy from an Amiga game, but now I can't remember what is.

Regards,

Since, Frostwork doesn't seem to have logged in recently I probably can't ask him directly and get an answer.

Should be a jump'n run huh?
That animal sprite seems to have its bottom side drawn so that it can be merged with a backdrop screen having planar platforms.

Brian The Lion?

Still, I'll try to get a trained version (invicibility or whatever) to have a quick go at it just in case.

Edit: Played through the ECS version of the game (t+27 SXI). I didn't see the sprite used for Xenon's avatar. There are some snakes in some of the jungle levels but different from this one and in terms of proportion are larger.
So, unless it is in some hidden/hard to access part of the game, the snake sprite is not taken from Brian the Lion. Thx for the suggestion though.

Hi,

Out of complete luck and random chance, I found the game to be Magic boy.

Well, now I know I didn't know where it came from. The game looks fun, I'll have to try it soon
