The All-Star Gaming Cast of Video Wars
(click to enlarge)
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…
“And I hate to nitpick, but Mass Effect guns don’t shoot lasers”
Yeah, and Master Chief’s sword is not orange.

“GET ‘EM STEVE DAVE!”
@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.
What? No Commander Keen?
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
@J5
