16-bit Evil Dead RPG not real, damn well should be photo

First the good news: OMG Evil Dead RPG! Now the bad: It's not a real thing.

The above screens are the work of London-based pixel artist Gary J Lucken, who goes by the name Army of Trolls. Lucken posted the mock-up screens on his portfolio Web site, which got me thinking that this is a thing that needs to happen. Now.

There's been a handful of Evil Dead games sent to market, including a Commodore 64 title released in the 80s. With the popularity of platforms like the iPhone, I can't think of a better time than now for the world to get its 16-bit-style Evil Dead role-playing game. 

Need to really get your heart pumping? Hit the jump to see an animated GIF of the game "in action."

I know, right!?!?

This must exist. I will no longer tolerate a universe in which it doesn't.

While Army of Darkness (I only got to watch the last 40 mins.) was on last night, I'm not really lamenting this not existing. Know why? I've got Splatterhouse RPG to tide me over!

Is the link working?

Someone should tell me where I can shovel my loads (not very much) of funding for this to actually be made.

Someone should mention this to Bruce at his panel at ComicCon this year.

I love Army of Trolls. Got many pixel art books that prominently feature his work.
Love Evil Dead. It's been one of my favorites since I was in high school.

This is definitely a case of two great tastes that go great together.
