Video game art - so bad it's good

Tha'ts Burgertime and Dig Dug. More here.

Makes me glad Rob Liefeld never did videogame artwork for early 1980s game companies.

I never knew the BT chef and Dig Dug were so buff!

 

Or that the pickle was so well... uh... hung.

LMFAO,that's awesome!!

Wow, those characters look like they jumped right out of a video game! Namely, Cho Aniki.

 

What's with the weiner? He looks like he just cut the mustard.

Rob Liefeld's Atari Force....*SHIVER*

No. Rob Liefeld's Atari Force would RAWK!

 

Martin Champion would become the obligatory Cable clone.

 

Dart -> Domino

 

Babe -> Badrock

 

Tempest -> Shaft

 

Hukka and Morphea would get EXTREEEM redesigns. (Maybe Hukka would adopt the Wolverine/Feral template. "Don't fuck with the Hukk!")

 

There would be EXTREEM dialog like "Eat shit you shitting shitter!"

 

Every panel would be packed with EXTREEM non-proportional action and movement lines.

 

Dart would develop serious jugs and a broken back.

 

How could you be against something like that?

Man you guys are out of the loop...

I also really like these re-imaginings of game icons as girls:

Man, those are x-rated.

 

As in, a little red x in a box.

 

 

 

And if we're out of the loop, care to get us into it???

Ok not so out of the loop.. but I could have sworn we were all abuzz about that guys pics here maybe 9 months ago or so? Or maybe not here.. I dunno. But Yeah it's from that guy Handre from Somethingawful: http://www.gamesetwatch.com/2006/03/gsw_in...re_game_box.php

 

He had a lot of those kinds of videogame pics including Kirby and what-not on his deviantart site.. http://handre.deviantart.com/gallery/ but it looks like they're all gone by now.

Crap, guess I shouldn't have linked to those images. They were cool.

Rob Liefeld's ATARI FORCE, according to that description, would reek more than it would "rawk".

 

Again, a good thing he was never called to do 80's videogame artwork.

Awwww, c'mon. You're just not seeing the inherent total freakin' awesomeness!!

 

Semi-related, I've always wondered what happened to the Youngblood game supposedly being made for the PS1. It was allegedly going to be like a RTS/RPG, something like a superhero version of Growlanser Generations.

Because, this is what comics are going to look like in Hell.
