Manufacturing Games: The Factory Work Behind the Games We Love

sonic-rings

Above, the smelting of Sonic’s rings, part of a collection for France’s Amusement Magazine shot by Marc Da Cunha Lopes. It takes the concept of Videogames Industry a bit too literally. The 5 piece gallery shows the makings of such things as Arkanoid’s blocks, Mario’s mushrooms and coin boxes and the Tetris blocks. If anything this goes to show how amazingly unrealistic these games were, you know, in case looking at a plumber shoot fire from his hands didn’t tip you off in the first place.

    Now this is pretty cool. Nice to see that such video game objects are hand made in a smith house rather then some sterile factory.

    really great ideas. the sonic one is still my favorite. it makes you look at the rings in a whole different light.

    I wonder how may POW crafts are made in the R-Type universe… or how many extras were needed for the little goblin-thieves of Golden Axe xD

    At first I thought those were Sauron’s rings.
    And then I remembered I was DarkDiamond.
