StarRoivas from deviantART has transported modern day games into the past with her cartridge art. She has depicted these popular games as if they had been created as Atari games. It is impressive how well the artist was able to transform the elements and characters from modern gaming into the style and format reminiscent of Atari.
Atari was one of the first systems to be released to the public and is considered a respected pioneer in the gaming world. A lot of games get inspiration from the classic piece of machinery, and this set of cartridge art is a great way to tribute that connection. Systems spanning from Nintendo to Xbox, which include everything from Tomb Raider to Fallout 3 are captured.
