Real Retrogames - Photoshop Contest [14 entries]

Winning entry, with a score of:

61.8%

Contest goal:

Nowadays you have the most fantastic and jawdropping video games. However, the real great stuff was already made in the 70's and 80's! Pac-man, Space Invaders, Tetris, those were the days!
Wouldn't it be cool to make a real life version of these retro games?

Your goal in this contest is to combine a retro game with a daily life situation. For example a huge Pac-man running for the ghosts in downtown Manhattan or people who are shooting out of a car to aliens who are attacking. As long as you can see the game that got you inspired, all is ok! You can use the characters and elements from the game, but make sure your game choice was released before 1990.
You don't know any retro games? Here's a list.
Good luck!

Required level: 8+ or higher.
Status: finished. Check out the winners below!
