Games where the main sprite changes

[bluespikey]

In some games, you can wear disguises/clothes which change the main character :

Streaker
Contact Sam Cruise
Stormbringer 128K

Are the any more? Theres other games, like Knightlore and Ant Attack, where the character changes but not really in the same way as changing clothes.

[Morkin]

Dynamite Dan II

When Dan picks up the shades, he puts 'em on

[uglifruit]

When (Jet set) Willy turns into the (winged hamster?) in The Nightmare Room

[Juan F. Ramirez]

Exolon, when getting a harder armour, IIRC

[worcestersource]

Project Future when you put on the invincibility suit.

Jet Set Willy II when in space.

Antiriad?

Does Mag Max count?

[firelord]

- Nonteraqueus ? You change from a ladybug to a kind of helicopter. (Btw, I Never understood the advantages of the helicopter...)

- Altered Beast

[PQR]

The Great Escape where you can wear the enemy’s uniform.

[RWAC]

Ghouls n Ghosts when you lose your armour.

[Lee Bee]

I nearly said Robocop because you get your gun out, but I don't think this happens in the Spectrum version.

[PeteProdge]

Alchemist

I'd add Werewolves Of London, but that's a time-based change rather than a conscious one. Just like Knight Lore really.

[RWAC]

The cheat mode in Count Duckula turns your character into a bottle of banana milk.

[Lethargeek]

Transformers, Draconus

don't think Antiriad counts - otherwise we must include Ikari Warriors

[sn3j]

In H.A.T.E. you'll switch between plane and tank.
Vixen.

[AndyC]

I nearly said Robocop because you get your gun out, but I don't think this happens in the Spectrum version.

The Speccy version doesn't do that, but it does change when you get the big gun near the end (the junkyard stage IIRC)

[XTM]

It technically does it in reverse when you run out of all ammo

[Joefish]

Transformers, rather obviously!

And I think the thing in Jet Set Willy is supposed to be a flying pig.
I don't see why Antiriad shouldn't count. Stepping into the suit doesn't seem to me as any different to changing outfit in Exolon or The Great Escape.

[R-Tape]

Crimebusters. When you collect the mystery item, you sometimes get the spy uniform, which gives you temporary invulnerability.

Ditto Joe Blade, where you can collect the soldier's outfit.

Watch the Ghosts'n'Goblins video from 5:40

[MatGubbins]

KNight Lore
Sabre Man to a werewolf

ok, scrap that one....

Let's try Cyberun, bits get added to the spaceship as they are collected.

[GreenCard]

Spy Hunter - the car changes into a boat.

Wasn't there a bit in How To Be A Complete B*st*rd where you turn into a cooker?

[MatGubbins]

Arkanoid/Batty - length of bat alters, changes into a laser gun, booster rockers added.

[Lee Bee]

Spellbound Dizzy, when you have the Aqualung:

[Daveysloan]

In the Man With the Golden Joystick the main sprite changes when you grab a bike. This was in reference to JSW's Nightmare Room.

[Hank Scorpio]

In the 128k version of Stormbringer, when the magic knight puts on whichever disguise is needed for the job advert.

[Lethargeek]

Transformers, rather obviously!

And I think the thing in Jet Set Willy is supposed to be a flying pig.
I don't see why Antiriad shouldn't count. Stepping into the suit doesn't seem to me as any different to changing outfit in Exolon or The Great Escape.

then it's the same as entering a tank in ikari as it changes the gameplay even more

The Speccy version doesn't do that, but it does change when you get the big gun near the end (the junkyard stage IIRC)

if the weapon change counts, then Corsarios and, well, Target Renegade

and what about character switching in Hammerfist?
