(a.k.a. Retronator) when he released his first iPhone game, Monkey Labour. Since I am an enthusiastic for Game & Watch handhelds and the game was really good I wrote <a href="http://gameandgraphics.com/post/4413092333/monkey-labour-dawn-of-play-for-iphone-2011" target="_blank">a few words about it here</a>.</p> <p>Now I have in my hands one of his latest works: this <strong>Tribute Pixel Art Poster.</strong> An absolutely amazing pixelated homage to retro-gaming, full of details and printed with vivid colors over canvas. The kind of stuff that your wall needs, retro-gamer fellows.</p> <p>You can buy one of this special hand-signed limited editions <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/Retronator?ref=pr_shop_more" target="_self">on Matej etsy shop</a> or a regular print <a href="http://society6.com/retronator/Tribute-pTJ_Print" target="_blank">at society6</a>. </p> <p>And don’t forget to check out and follow <a href="http://www.retronator.com/" target="_blank">Retronator’s tumblr site</a>, designed as an old text adventure.</p>http://gameandgraphics.com/post/23284609362http://gameandgraphics.com/post/23284609362Fri, 18 May 2012 12:37:55 +0200artpixelbitmapposterdesignretrogaminggaming<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3rw009tpW1qzj5ggo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Japanese box art for <strong>Shenmue</strong> <em>(Sega from Dreamcast, 1999).</em></p>http://gameandgraphics.com/post/23257288322http://gameandgraphics.com/post/23257288322Fri, 18 May 2012 01:44:09 +0200shenmuedreamcastsegaboxartgaming<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3902urDOu1qzj5ggo4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3902urDOu1qzj5ggo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3902urDOu1qzj5ggo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3902urDOu1qzj5ggo6_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>Art for <strong>Zack & Wiki: Quest from Barbaro’s Treasure</strong> (Capcom for Wii, 2007)</p> <p>One of my favourite Wii games.</p>http://gameandgraphics.com/post/23224032807http://gameandgraphics.com/post/23224032807Thu, 17 May 2012 13:24:57 +0200capcomwiiartillustrationgaming<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3tiw8mgSD1qzj5ggo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Kirby 20th Anniversary logo.</p>http://gameandgraphics.com/post/23158439751http://gameandgraphics.com/post/23158439751Wed, 16 May 2012 11:45:36 +0200kirbylogodesignnintendogaming<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3usksxJzW1qzj5ggo1_500.jpg"/><br/> Rockman<br/><br/> <img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3usksxJzW1qzj5ggo2_500.jpg"/><br/> Rockman 2<br/><br/> <img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3usksxJzW1qzj5ggo3_500.jpg"/><br/> Rockman 3<br/><br/> <img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3usksxJzW1qzj5ggo4_500.jpg"/><br/> Rockman4<br/><br/> <img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3usksxJzW1qzj5ggo5_500.jpg"/><br/> Rockman 5<br/><br/> <img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3usksxJzW1qzj5ggo6_500.jpg"/><br/> Rockman 6<br/><br/> <p>Cover art for <strong>Rockman Complete Works</strong> <strong>1-6</strong> <em>(PlayStation, 1999).</em></p>http://gameandgraphics.com/post/23110019583http://gameandgraphics.com/post/23110019583Tue, 15 May 2012 19:19:00 +0200megamanrockmancapcomplaystationillustrationboxartgaming<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3v8xcPVlV1qzj5ggo1_500.gif"/><br/><br/><div class="post-body image-post"> <div class="caption"> <p>Millenium Falcon and Hyperspace from <strong>Super Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back</strong> <em>(Super Nintendo, 1993).</em></p> <p><em>[ <a href="http://gameandgraphics.com/tagged/star+wars" target="_blank">More Star Wars posts in Game & Graphics</a> ]</em></p> </div> </div>http://gameandgraphics.com/post/22844708202http://gameandgraphics.com/post/22844708202Fri, 11 May 2012 18:11:00 +0200star warssuper nintendogifbitmapfilmgaming<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3uqpj02RZ1qzj5ggo1_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3uqpj02RZ1qzj5ggo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><strong>Super Metroid</strong> japanese official APE guide<em> (1994).</em></p>http://gameandgraphics.com/post/22834118955http://gameandgraphics.com/post/22834118955Fri, 11 May 2012 11:38:12 +0200metroidsuper nintendoillustrationbooksdesigngamingguide<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3rw69u7js1qzj5ggo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Japanese box art for <strong>Tetris</strong><em> (Game Boy, 1989).</em></p>http://gameandgraphics.com/post/22787007402http://gameandgraphics.com/post/22787007402Thu, 10 May 2012 19:52:13 +0200tetrisboxartgame boygamingdesign<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3rw3pFnVq1qzj5ggo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Japanese box art for <strong>Tetris</strong><em> (Famicom, 1988).</em></p>http://gameandgraphics.com/post/22779287782http://gameandgraphics.com/post/22779287782Thu, 10 May 2012 16:19:27 +0200tetrisfamicomboxartgaming
