Jeremy Hobbs is a graphic designer / illustrator who runs the Ribbon Black site, a blog full of fake videogames designed by him. The ones I’m showing you today are from one of my favourite projects, a collection of Adventure Time Famicom games.
Don’t forget to check also his Tumblr site, and his entry to Famicase Exhibition 2013.
MY FAMICASE EXHIBITION 2013
Famicase is an exhibition organized in Tokyo by Satoshi Sakagami, owner of Meteor shop, and every year shows fictional Famicom cartridge designs.My design for this edition is Star Cats: Catnip Hunters.
“The Feline Galaxy is running out of their most appreciated substance: CATNIP! Some of the best bounty hunters have been recruited to search for a new source of it. A platforming / action game with 5 new planets to explore full of dangerous enemies.”
Watch all the cartridges at Famicase website.

Some weeks ago I published on my instagram account ( @daruma ) a pic of the Zelda catridges released for Game Boy Advance. The same day my IG fellow @karawapo -who lives in Japan and is a huge Game Boy connoisseur- replied with the japanese version of the pic. Awesome! Which version is your favourite?
