Does anyone sell classic gaming posters? Ie the Barbarian artwork or other classic 8 bit games?

The Barbarian poster came free with the big box editions of the game. At least, my Speccy version did.

I have the British Computer Club version, which is devoid of poster and Maria.

eBay for it? IIRC one of the early Retro Gamers came with an Olly Frey poster, too. Oh, and the Game Over one.

Just been on Ebay. Lots of copies of the game but mainly Barbarian 2 and lacking posters. Alot of budget versions as well which doesn't help. None of the full price versions seem to have it.

Now why isn't that an online 'identify the game' picture? That'd be loads better than the Empire one.

Spotted Manny from Grim Fandango yet? Or Frank West from Dead Rising. I am seriously considering a trip to Ikea to get a frame for it, it's that lush. Frickin hyowj too.

It'd look shit in your front room. Gimme it.

Yay - the Syndicate goons are in there.

It'll be in The Den. The front room currently has framed Land of the Dead, Evil Dead 2 and Shaun of the Dead promo posters up.

ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view!

Manny's under a tree at the back of the Speedball dome.
Frank's just south of the Ghosts N Goblins graveyard on the pavement. Hard to make out on this shitty jpeg, but it is him.

is that car pile up made by a crackdown character?

Dimrill · **Posted:** Wed Jun 10, 2009 23:48

Not as far as I can tell.

ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view!

There's 3 zombies on the street level, one of which is wearing the Lego helmet from Dead Rising, with what looks like M Bison on the top of the building on eye level with the Cacodaemon. I found Mister Chef and Metal Gear Solid Man Person by Dr Kurosawa. Sub-Zero is holding up a head in the middle of a street. Lara Croft is just peeking out over a brown truck by the Syndicate Men.

It's awesome. Can't take my eyes off it.

Oh and Flicky's representing down at the bottom by the Animal Crossing petting zoo

I'm disappointed that the Syndicate agents aren't in the top right near that fire that looks rather like the burning people from Syndicate.

You know, the ones that the Flamer makes, with the disturbingly lovely "aieeee" sound effect that they make as they run around screaming before turning into a pile of ash.

Cras · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 49246

Er - they're on the mid left. Next to the burning people from Syndicate.

Mr Dave · **Posted:** Wed Jun 10, 2009 23:59

I see a 48K spectrum and a c64. No Amstrad.

I see a NES, a Vectrex(?) and a Gameboy. No GX4000.

Dimrill · **Posted:** Thu Jun 11, 2009 0:03

Yeah, that's a Vectrex by the Flame Grill building.

Zardoz · **Posted:** Thu Jun 11, 2009 9:22

Nice poster. Is it included in the normal issue or just subbers?

Oh yeah, didn't notice that. Noticed the agents, but not the burn victims. D'oh.

Just for subscribers.

Man, years of subbing and then they dish this out when I've cancelled.

Dim was telling me that if you reverse it, it's a collage of lots of bald videogame characters.

If you turn it on its edge there's a scale drawing of your cock.

The first ICO one is hanging on the wall in the Penny-Arcade office, the second is in my front room.

She is working on a BG&E one atm.

That is cool, especially like the Disgaea and Okami pics. Relm from FFVI is particularly well executed too.

How wrong are you? Answer: very. Also I'd want the official poster for B2, not that shonky Crash version.

The official version would be better but it was the best I could source. Still not keen on that Edge posted mind. To pour petrol on the flames I'm also not a huge fan of Oliver Frey.
