There’s nothing we like more than a quirky retro gaming story, and this one certainly tickled us. If you’re an avid movie and retro gaming buff then you’ll likely appreciate the fine level of lampoonmanship on display here. Talented Aussie artist, Robert Penney, has taken a selection of recent movies (and Prison Break) and reimagined them as ancient CVS games.

On the list is Battlefield Smurph (aka James Cameron’s Avatar), the budget as it sounded Snakes On A Plane, the gonzo monster movie Cloverfield, the The Fast And The Furious movie that starred Sonny Chiba, and Prison Break. We’ve added a scan of the Avatar box below. If you’d like to see the rest they can be found on Kotaku. Simply follow this handy link here: handy link 

If you’re reading this Robert and are open for requests we’d love to see you have a stab at District 9, The King Of Kong and The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button.
