Amusement (French Vogue meets Nintendo Power) takes iconic video games and discovers their origins. Jean-Yves Lemoigne fantasizes about pixels (NSFW?). Game couture?
Now there's some decent side-scrolling action!

@East Manitoba Regional Junior Kabaddi Champion '94: Good god, I assumed that it would be the covers of the 200 previous editions and then was confused when I looked at the page and they all seemed unfamiliar. They did a split run of 200 different covers **for the same edition of the magazine**- - - - 200 DIFFERENT COVERS FOR THE SAME EDITION. Sorry. I got over excited.

Kind of makes me wish that I was a lego man.

Oh. Posted this in a similiar article about video game photography. If I had known it wasn't actually linked before I would have done so.
Beaten! But still pretty good!

I wish my french was even close to being good enough to read this. I guess I can look at the pretty, blocky pictures..

Is there anywhere that lists what games those 200 Edge covers all come from? I recognized a lot of them, but not all. This one, for example, I have no idea.
