arcade
I’ve always been a fan of the hyper-saturated, stripey, weirdo-symmetry of arcade art. The 70s and 80s were full of the most amazing ads, cabinets, and game graphics; I’m sad I only was alive for the tail end of it. This great little blog, Art of the Arcade, is collecting concept art, cabinet art, and pieces of hardware from the silver age of arcade gaming, and it’s great. [via Dvice and Guerilla One]
