Hilarious, subversive classic arcade-game remixes
Retrosabotage makes subversive and hilarious remixes of classic video-games, including little mockumentaries explaining their backstories. Alice from Wonderland explains, "In the amusing mockumentary piece, pac-man is an anti-recession prototype designed to encourage Japanese teens to consume more. Later, where a pac-man version is a game designed by a north Korean dictator, suddenly pac-man plays itself, you have no control at all." Link (via Wonderland)
