Title: PCE CHALLENGE: Art Walk in the Local Mall
Post by: esteban on 03/14/2010, 03:49 PM
So, I was at the mall last week. Student artwork was displayed:

YOUR MISSION, should you choose to accept it:

Identify two references to our beloved PCE universe.

One is EASY. The other one is more challenging.

DISCLAIMER: I wish I had a better camera. Alas, I only had a cell phone. I didn't alter the images in any manner.

The other reference is that these could easily pass for Turbografx box art.

The thing up front looks like someone made an ash tray out of the map to Dragon Slayer.

Its out of view but the guy with the yellow sponge bob jacket is holding up a Sega Genesis and the guy with Blue PCE Jacket is sticking two fingers up at him.

My friends, I'll give you a hint: There is a STRONG REFERENCE to a Super CD-ROM game.

Good luck!

Hahahhahahahaha. I'll give you 3 points for creativity :)

Seriously, though, this is a game that YOU LIKE, Mr. Sunteam_Paul :)

HINT HINT: This game was ARCADE and then ported to consoles, micros, PC's.

Well there's an Easter Island head from Gradius, but that's not what you're talking about.

Damn, I never noticed that!

But, it's in the "close-up pic". So it focuses only on the one painting.

HINT HINT HINT: It's not hidden, or obscure, it's in plain sight, and, personally, it's something I noticed right away (because it is unusual). Also: SEGA!

The only Sega Super CD game I can think of is Bonanza Bros. and they look nothing like Robo and Mobo.

You guys are harsh!  :)  For a totally random painting by a middle school kid that I saw at the mall...

...throw a blue hat on Robo and Mobo, turn up the brim, toss in a bouquet of flowers and... VOILA!
