I'm a sucker for hyper-specific-use-case graph paper.

The artwork of Drac's Night Out by Roger Huyssen used for advertising the #NES game which... never came out! And also the Reebok sneakers for good measure. Removed logos/text, applying the usual upscale/clean/retouch process.

people seem into these, so here are a couple more:
a background planning sheet from Sega, circa late-'80s—the Mega Drive had the provisional title of "Mark V", following Mark III (JP Master System being Mark IV), hence why a lot of early MD stuff's marked "MD5"

this pre-pro sheet from HAL's Metal Slader Glory for Famicom is one of the more optimised examples out there: it's broken into both 8x8 (minimum sprite size) & 16x16 (minimum area for BG palettes), with the red margins indicating what will/won't be impacted by overscan

Memories of seeing a ten-years-after Game Boy Color Gremlins game at E3 2001 and not being sure who it was for. It looked better than these games, though not by much.

a plan like this seems doable. then u go buy the boards/sheets you need, find someone at the store to cut them to fit in ur honda, run a circular saw on'em in the parking lot b/c theyre still too big, spend hours cutting them to spec, & feel u accomplished a lot. but thats just page 1 of the plans..
