Photographer Danny Passarella has travelled the world collecting old arcade machines, bringing them home to the UK where he can take these stunning images of them. They’re like badass old arcade posters, if the world hadn’t stopped making badass old arcade posters.
Each image depicts a game sitting somewhere in Danny’s hometown of Whitley Bay. I gotta say, I’ve seen Afterburner cabinets all over the world, but I’ve never seen one anywhere like this.
They will be appearing in some upcoming exhibitions, the first at the Forge & Co gallery in Shoreditch, London, on July 25.
If you want one, Danny will be selling a limited run of 25×25 prints on Kodak metallic C-type paper (which will make them look even prettier).

With or without the backgrounds, every game there is still art in its own right. But they still look awesome 🙂
Honestly, to me, these just look like crappy photoshop picture. And, yes I’m aware that these have been edited. It just looks like a really dodgy job.
