Title: Videogame minimalism
Post by: Master KChief on October 13, 2009, 04:13:21 AM: flickr user infinitecontinues, who doubles as an artist at Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, felt inspired after viewing a series of movie posters for minimalists and thus found the motivation to create a similar series, this one focused on video games. in his own words, “This is an exploration of how a few key shapes from well-loved characters are instantly recognisable even when reduced to these simple forms.” out of the 14 total, how many of these characters born in the video game universe can you readily identify?

Mario or even Pac-Man. Come on.
