"Eustace Tilley: FINAL BOSS" (2008)
Todd Umbarger \| 8:21 PM on 01.23.2008	3 comments

Early this morning I submitted my piece for The Eustace Tilley Contest, in which entrants
reimagine the iconic New Yorker character and winners chosen by the editors will appear in
February's anniversary issue. The concept of Tilley as the final boss in an imaginary side-
scroller came to me as I pictured the classic butterfly moving in 2D space and interacting with
the giant dandy. I used this opportunity to honor some of my favorite shooters of all time:
Forgotten Worlds, Space Harrier and Contra. The New Yorker isn't exactly known as a gaming
journal but you can leave comments and see the other entries on my Tilley Flickr page:

Comments policy

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?

Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!
