When Data East's BurgerTime was ported to the NES in 1985, its box art looked like this:
South African illustrator, animator, 3D modeler and digital music composer Handre De Jager thinks it should have looked more like the image below, given "the [often] inaccurate nature of 80's and early 90's video game cover art."
Although I can't say I agree entirely--mainly because I'm pretty fond of the box art we ended up with--I also can't say I dislike De Jager's illustration.
That said, it is a bit frightening, isn't it? Honestly, I'm not sure which aspect scares me more: The hot dog, the pickle or the egg.
(Thanks to Twitter user Alchemlx for turning me on to this creation.)
The egg. Eek.
ReplyDeleteYeah, that face is especially spooky, isn't it? Yikes!
ReplyDeleteI've always thought that being tracked down by a giant hot dog who wants to have his way with me is kinda hot.
ReplyDeleteHa! You would think that, wouldn't you, warp? ;)
ReplyDeletewe used to play! It was a lot of fun
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, it is fun, isn't it, Marco? I really love this kind of old arcade game -- the type put out by Data East, Namco, Nintendo, Taito, etc.
