You want a cool piece of gaming history framed in your mancave? You have a crazy ass idea for your mancave on a budget? Send me a PM. I like challenges !
------- Design credits: The original Link shown in my work comes from this designer. I took credit for the vector part, but the color palette, the shading and the heavy lifting is his. ------- Disclaimer: I do this for a living hence my handler is everywhere. Is this shame autopublicity? Yes it is. If the Kardashians basically made a living out of their arses and instagram, maybe I can make a living doing nerdy pixel-ish repros for another fellow geeks.
