Classic Ads: Battlezone

Battlezone is an arcade game designed by Ed Rotberg released by Atari in November 1980. It displays a wire-frame view (using vector graphics) on a horizontal black and white (with green and red sectioned color overlay) vector monitor. Due to its novel gameplay and look, this game was very popular for many years. [Wiki]

Game Boy glitches on the Nintendo logo - found when I was trying to load an old Kirby’s cartridge to my custom backlighted Game Boy.

Random logo design, crazy sprites, martian typography… this kind of graphic accidents are pure retrogaming beauty, and something hypnotic for a graphic designer like me. Do you think the same?

Brings back memories. I wonder how many hundreds, possibly thousands, of garbled Nintendo logos I’ve seen over the years. It did get kind of frustrating when you would take out the cartridge, give it a good blow, put it back in, and the logo would still be messed up.

We love gameboy.

/r/history: An invitation to my great-grandfather’s bachelor party in 1932.

Fetch me the ballyhoo dancers.

I like how this is both incredibly charming and dorkily unfunny — “Charlie Brier had the nerve to ‘Pop the Question’.”

Old things are awesome. More 1932 here.

60 Years of Presidential Attack Ads, in One Video

Thanks to a retrospective from Museum of the Moving Image, which compiled dozens of presidential campaign spots from 1952 through 2008, viewers can dive deep into the fascinating history of a unique stripe of advertising. David Schwartz, chief curator at the museum, breaks them down by year, type, and issue, providing background on the impact of certain groundbreaking spots. For the short attention span of today, we’ve created a montage of excerpts, focusing on negative ads and including two spots from the 2012 contenders, taken from their YouTube channels.

Impressive compilation. For more political videos, check out our FREE app Political Time Machine!
