Why yes, this is the classic New Hope poster rendered completely with space video game characters.  It’s from DeviantArtist jnkboy, and I want one for my room.

As always, we can now play the “identify everyone here game,” which naturally I cannot quite complete.  I’ve got most of them, but the hairy beast guy escapes me. Also, why is Starfox a midget? And why are there Easter Island heads in the background?

And I hate to nitpick, but Mass Effect guns don’t shoot lasers.

    I vote that it should be Miranda (ME2) instead of Ashley (the white girl with the white and pink suit). Ashley is cold hearted and and anti-alien. Miranda has her own flaws, but at least she’s cool with my favorite Mass Effect characters: Garrus, Thane, Grunt and Wrex.

    Those are my boys. They don’t mess around.

    Yay! I get to name to obvious ones:

    Halo
    Space invaders
    Starfox
    Samus Aran
    Dude from Half Life
    Mass Effect Chick

    I will say I am saddened to not see Pizza the Hut.

    I think those Easter Island heads are from Gradius or Life Force…I think that’s Nei from PS2 on the left…that big lion-man thing may be from Wing Commander…

    Yeah, and Master Chief’s sword is not orange.

    @Madison – THats my guess on the Easter Island heads, that’s the only place I have seen those heads in a space video game. Was that Gradius 3 for SNES? Thats where I remember playing it.

    Ha! Roger Wilco shows up again. Space Quest gave me plenty of laughs when I played through that line of games.

    I think the hairy beast guy is a Kilrathi.

    The guy with the mop is from the Space Quest series, and the chick in the orange is Ulala from Space Channel 5.
    also, Asteroids in the bottom left
