Artist Steve Thomas has created some clever vintage propaganda posters all based on classic retro videogames. So far, he has tackled six games with a poster based on Galaga, Donkey Kong, Frogger, Joust, Dig Dug and one other game I can't put my finger on because I'm not old. I don't know, Tron maybe? This one makes me think of Tron.
Anyway, Steve has larger versions of all the posters over on his personal blogspot. Check them out!

Hamza Aziz, Destructoid's Community Director, has been here since day one. He was born when a tiger coughed up a hairball into a pool of ooze. He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.

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.
