Some tips for parsing this one? Pretty sure it's an image format, perhaps a spritesheet. Here are some names and file sizes:



Some files are included for reference.

A PL8 file can contain different images:
* ordinary bitmaps (for backgrounds)
* isometric tiles
* run-length encoded sprites

I will see if I can find some detailed info about file format on my PC.
Would some undocumented java source code be useful too?

Here's a half-finished PL8 -> PNG extractor (Eclipse project with java sources):

The algorithms work but the usability leaves much to be desired.
Arguments and options are hard-coded in Main.java so every time you want to convert another file, you'll have to recompile the project. I haven't had the time to fix that.

Inside the zip there's also a txt that contains a list of nearly all pl8 files and their corresponding palette and type.

pl8 Magic can convert them png files.

Drag and Drop the pl8 and 256 files on the browser.
