  Fairly sure he just painted on transparent paper over a film projection and then manually digitized or something like that, no fancy equipment.

    He talks about the process here (for Karateka) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wnutf4XObWk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wnutf4XObWk Not mentioned in the video, but the process for getting from the tracing paper to digital was a Versawriter tablet, which looks like a pantograph - you can see one here http://blog.lonaday.com/2007/02/graphics-tablets.html http://blog.lonaday.com/2007/02/graphics-tablets.html
