Double Triptych: Retro, Imaginary Games for Movies and TV Shows

"Flight of the Conchords: Season 2" by Max Atom
(Full game download here!)

"Scruffy For Atari" by Ron Workman

"A Game of Ice & Fire II" (t-shirt) by Drew Wise

"Inception" by Penney Design

"Hunger Retro Game" by Drew Wise

"ConfederVania II: Abraham's Quest" by Timothy Lim

Sorry for the unwieldy title, but I'm working with a pretty specific theme today: box art for imaginary games based on contemporary movies and TV shows, if they were made for the NES or Atari 2600.

These have been piling up for a while, which is why there are two entries from Drew Wise in the mix. The Flight of the Conchords game seen above is NOT imaginary, as someone has elected to make an entire 8-bit game based on the adventure of Bret and Jemaine. And that last entry is, of course, inspired by Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.

Also, I would play all of these games. In fact, I'm playing one of them right now.

"Father Callahan"

"Alain & Cuthbert"

If you've never read Stephen King's The Dark Tower series, make a point of doing so. Seriously, it's good shit. It'll make you think differently about Stephen King and casts the entirity of the rest of his work in a new light.

Double Triptych: Journey Men

"A Journey To Beauty" by RyuuKiba

"Journey" by SiOtheCaveman

"Journey" by Leonardo Gutierrez

"Journey" by Michael Bills

"Sandstorm" by Rebecca Gunter

"Journey" by Luisa Rafidi

Journey is a game that I've been wanting to play for a while, but haven't been able to get ahold of a PS3 to do so since it was released back in March. Nevertheless, the game looks beautiful, and it's already starting to inspire some pretty stunning fan-art.
