When Two Video Games Love Each Other Very Much

If you have ever wondered where video games come from, a gorgeous series of photographs by Marc Da Cunha Lopes “shows us the factory work behind the most iconic games of the past few decades.” I would list the specific title each image is captured from but seriously, if you can’t figure it out for yourself you shouldn’t be allowed to call yourself a gamer. Yeah, I went there! Prove your prowess in the comments by outing each game. Assuming you can that is.

      The fifth one is the game bricks. cause there are steel balls near the piles of bricks and some more on the floor near the stairs. But I also thought they fifth one might be from saw also.

    Here’s some random rambling you don’t care about:
    I once went to a gas station, and the sound that the cash register made was the same sound that plays when you collect a ring in the Sonic games.

        Everyone knows that cashiers do all the math in their head.
        They just make it look like they are working.

  16. Well before I cheated and just looked at the filenames, I could only get Tetris and Mario. I didn’t even notice the rings in the Sonic one till I looked at the filename. I was fixated on the thing in the middle.

    Anyway, they’re awesome.
