Penney Design has created this collection of awesomely wonderful retro video game designs based on modern movies and TV shows. 

Illustrations of fictional 1970-80s video game boxes that are computer game adaptions of films/TV shows. There’s a rather long history of lackluster video game tie-ins (1982’s E.T for example) that were clearly rushed, sharing very little of the storyline, look and behaviour of their respective films. This inspired a series of late ‘70s and ‘80s computer game boxes with modern themes, keeping only the bare minimum information.

I remember playing these kinds of games on an old Atari, I thought they were the freakin' coolest thing back in the day when I was a kid. Check out the designs below and tell us what you think!

Here is some Cartrige designs:
