Two Great Tastes...

I like old books. Old comic books, old reference books, and particularly old paperback books. There's something especially appealing about those old paperbacks that, for one reason or another, had really striking cover art.

Which is why, I suppose, I'm so happy to see this: a collection of great video games in the style of classic book covers.

Given how crappy some video game box illustrations have been, it seems like this would be most welcome.

Of course, given how many people say digital distribution is the only way forward for any sort of media, I guess it's sorta like getting excited about, uh, making rumble-seat covers that are totally evocative of the greatest Conestoga wagon seats.

This guy is doing something cool and similar: covers of the old novelizations of newer movies.
