German designer duo Komboh have created a series of illustrations to commemorate the greatest names of the arcade game industry called the 'Amusement Field Identification Kit.' The series of illustrations is color coordinated, clad with entirely yellow, red and white.
The vibrant drawings are tributes to the iconic arcade games featuring the likes of Donkey Kong, New Astro City, VS. System, Multivideo System, Pong, Ms. Pac-Man, Vewlix L, Robotron, Space Invaders II and many more.
The intention behind the drawings created by the German designer duo was to recreate and remember the gaming tradition and culture that have long diminished in North America. And with the help of these series of posters, we are provided with a chance to revisit gamer history and the other various gaming stations.
