Video Games vs. Real Life

irl_1

I remember two things about the day my Dad brought home our first Nintendo Entertainment System. I remember how excited I was to play with that orange and grey gun, and how pissed off I was when that stupid dog in Duck Hunt kept mocking me. Despite this, I’m loving this “Make Something Cool Everyday” project titled Video Games Vs. Real Life by Aled Lewis.

I initially spotted a couple of these images in separate places and after some digging found out they were part of a bigger series. I’m glad I did. I love this one below from Mario Kart, but the Snow Monster from SkiFree on Windows 3.11 is easily my favorite. Kudos to you Aled for reminding me of something I haven’t seen in probably 15 years.
