Canadian design and illustration firm Komboh released the Amusement Field Identification Kit, which is a set of illustrations and blueprints of classic arcade video games. The games depicted date from 2007 all the way back to the early 70s, at the dawn of arcade game creation. Games mentioned include Pong, Ms Pac-Man, Donkey Kong and Space Invaders II.
This art collection hearkens back to a recently bygone era, as hand-held electronics and online game play replaced arcade games. It brings up fond memories of all the most popular games and large, clunky stationary boxes on which we used to play them. The Amusement Field Identification Kit is a great piece of modern memorabilia for anyone who grew up playing in arcades as a kid.
