Yup, the GT Interactive sites don't have all their content archived, sadly.

As far i know blue troopers should be from N64 version, BUT i assure you that those ones are not N64 sprites, they looks like more PS1 version, or maybe some Sega version.

Edit: After some search. the most close looks like the one from Total Meltdown as Phredreeke said:

E4L2, Trackside Tragedy min 5:00

But in those sprites it looks too smooth, and i don't think it came from here neither: http://sandervanderb...or-duke3d.html.

No idea where the hell come from, meanwhile i met myself in a cool Hollywood Holocaust pic

I find it interesting how they added extra blood in the psx sprites.. usually its the opposite (console versions get tamed)

The base sprites for Troopers are blue. The PC and PlayStation versions then recolors them when drawn. The same applies to the strippers, as well as Duke's sprite in multiplayer. Other Build Engine games have color swaps too - Blood uses it extensively for both sprites and textures.

These sprites have the exact same frames used in the PSX manual. Since the manual was in B&W they didn't cared about the colors.

Thanks, nice to know, now the curious thing is to understand why they chose green over blue, should have been easier to leave them blue?
