Gaming Poster

Feels a bit lilke a Sergio Argones, and whats fun about it is how easy it is to recognize the iconic characters. They run the gamut of gaming genres including older adventures and rpg's, all the way to more modern ones.

I mean wow, they have whats-his-face (main character) from Origins Bioforge and whats-his-name from Crusader.

Space Quest, Fallout, Legend of Kyrandia, PacMan (duh)...and yea, I love all manner of bouncing heads represent'in... :D

...also, I'm going to wager that the four-headed character on the second to last line (green tunic and sword) is supposed to represent old school party based gaming?


Commandos in the foxhole with Snake...

Wing Commander with the Kilrathi standing toe to toe with that guy with the cat behind his back?

Ha! Out of this World swing in the cage at the very bottom right! (sorry for the edits...I recognize pretty much all of them, but I'm trying to hunt for the real obscure shit)

I love that there's the right-click game interface above Ben (Full Throttle), and the little Myst rocketship, though can you believe I never played that game ever...

Ah, the fourheaded guy is party based gaming!

And Roger Wilco, Simon the Sorcerer, that guy from Blood, agent 47, Guybrush, and a lot fucking more. I like how Ben from Full Throttle is beating up that guy from GTA 3 for stealing the wheel to his bike! Excellent picture!

The only Russian in there I can make out is "Vegas".

Heh, the one of Kane and his tiberium got the biggest chuckle out of me.

I see Sarge from Quake 3 and one of the guys from Ut2k4 stealing flags, heh. And an alien with the X-Com globe. I see the stupid armor from Silent Storm.

I like how he has both versions of the Doom Lost Soul. The original is just so much cooler.

Haha, Rincewind and the walking chest. I wonder what they are doing there? There were those two discworld adventure games, I suppose. Maybe I ought to play them. I remember I couldn't get any sound with DosBox :S.

Is that the guy from Thief, stealing the painting away from the the Silent Hill pyramid head and Alice? (I don't recognize the third).

I know one of them was ported to PS1. Try downloading the PS1 game ISO.

I just realized what the person hanging from the monster that the Quake guy is killing is. It's that chick from Murder Death Kill (MDK) with the gun on her face.

I liked the STALKER one of the guy carrying around a huge pile of nuts and bolts, as he has an infinite supply to throw in the game. There's the pile of bodies with a DOW orc and a green diamond I think is representing the sims in there too.

I thought that too.

A few I can't place, the guy juggling, the woman in front of that line, the two on the right in Larrys harem, the woman shooting at Max Payne, the guy holding the cat. And whats with all the windup elephants.

Is the guy with all the nuts and bolts STALKER?

I like Frogger

The logo says 2005, is this picture more recent, then? I thought Stalker just came out this year.

Yeah I can't place a lot of them. I do see Leisure Suit Larry but I can't tell if the women around him are supposed to be specific, besides the Tomb Raider, or what.

The women on the right that I know are Lula, the woman from NOLF and Lara Croft, I don't know the purple one. The guy shooting at Max Payne is from the Matrix game, so it's a joke about the two using bullet time. The nuts and bolts guy is from STALKER.
