These amazing gamer girl pinups by Kyle Olson turn Princess Peach, Zelda and Samus into epic 8-bit babes. The images are blurry and heavily pixelated, giving old school Nintendo lovers a nostalgic flashback. This classic look keeps coming back. There's something about the simple, bold designs that remind us of a time before high-definition took over the game world.
The female game characters pose in typical pinup model ways: Peach sits on a green pipe (just like the ones in the Mario games) showing of her tiny pink dress and bubble gum pumps, Samus poses upside down and swings her legs in the air, while Zelda sits in a purple swimsuit and sports silky white gloves. These gamer girl pinups are fun, playful and will definitely make you nostalgic for old pixelated games.
