You may have seen this years ago, but since there’s a good chance you haven’t, here. See it now. Last week’s story on that awesome StarCraft statue outside Blizzard’s French offices reminded us that the primary artist involved, Steve Wang, is no strange to amazing video game craftsmanship.
You’d either click everywhere on a painting until something worked, or you’d be greeted with messages like these, done by artist Joe Alterio.
You’ve already had a taste of the fake, one-of-a-kind game cartridges on display at Japanese indie Meteor. Now have a look at the event itself. As previously posted, the goal of the exhibition is simple: artists submit a cartridge for a fake Famicom game. It can be whatever they want, basically, meaning some can be funny, and others can be super stylish. Submissions are taken from all over the planet, not just Japan.
Back in 2009, Masive Black artist Jason Chan (who draws wonderful pictures and even Kotaku mascots) gave the world an adorable piece of art that, while not directly inspired by Left 4 Dead, certainly captured people’s attention at the time. Mostly because it looked like a Fisher Price version of Valve’s shooter.
