Game Boxes With Film Titles

Complementing the photoshopped images of "film posters with video game titles" that we featured a couple weeks ago, Australian graphic artist Robert Penney put together a set of video game packaging mock-ups imagining "retro games with modern themes" for the "Cartridge Video System 2600".

His covers, which are almost believable with the faded pricing stickers, tears on the corners, and notes written in marker, demonstrate what contemporary movies like Avatar, The Fast and the Furios: Tokyo Drift, and Cloverfield would look like as 8-bit titles. I've included my three favorite images below, but you can see the full set on Penney's blog.
