Local Game Art


I always get jealous when see those photo essays from guys in Dublin who grout tile sculptures of the Space Invaders sprites onto buildings. So I've been scouting for any sort of local random video game art.

I swear this Pac-Man sticker has been on this sign since the mid-'80s. The sticker is from those cool Pac-Man bubble gum card sets, the ones with the scratch-off maze cards. This is about a mile up from my parents' house. No, I did not place the sticker. I didn't go outside much, and certainly not a mile from home.

This is fairly ingenious. Somebody cut the character art off of a Donkey Kong cabinet. (More likely, off a reproduction sticker that they sell for those looking to restore said cabinets. Although those are pricy.) So DK and Jumpman Mario add to the ride's vague circus theme. This quarter-eater is at a local mini-golf and zoo tourist trap ice cream stand.

And that's all I got.
