Modern Classics

One of my favourite games of all time is Goldeneye on the N64. It’s a classic of game design, the box, not so much. It’s a slap dash job and was only passable even at the time of release. Olly Moss of flickr has decided to correct this wrong and has started recreating classic video game cobers in the style of old classic penguin books and golden eye is a doozy!!! I’ve thrown it down below along with the original cover for reference. Check out his flickr account where you can see his interpretation of The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time and Half-Life. Brilliant. I may just have a bash at something like this myself, but on a different subject.

The original.
