Outside of the TG16 shooter and his popular movie work, I've never gone out of my way to look at Syd Mead's art before. Just stumbled across this: http://imgur.com/a/s9Oyr#0
Pretty awesome. The same and more comes up in google images, but the link is a good start.

best evar :)

Sydney Mead's vision is how I view the future...3 years from now (http://junk.tg-16.com/images/pcgs.png).

Strange, I'm counting 6 years and 3 month from now :-k

I just missed out on a eBay auction for his Kronolog book/LD combo. I thought I might get it at $200...
It went for $700...
-
Wow that stuff is fantastic!
-
That was pretty rad. Reminded me of Futureland at Disney.
-
Very Cool thanks for posting this site.

I had no idea anything like that was created for LD... I have it on VHS. No, he would never have allowed it on VHS.

Yeah, I had to do a bit of Googling and found this guy's discussion of it:

Very neat stuff, but apparently it's only white people in the future. :P
-
I'd never seen any of this before, so beautiful. Just has that mystery and uncertainty about it that really captures me, like many games do. Leaves so much to the imagination. I see one of his books is in print for a pretty low price, I may have to buy myself a copy. Thanks for posting this.

Kronoblanco.
I enjoyed the "reveal"...nice pictures and description.

It was also released on VHS, but in much fewer numbers.

That does look fantastic, but I was hoping for a 'Terraforming' box set discussing his creation and the gameplay/grafx.. Oh well.
-
That artwork is fantastic.
It's a bit embarrassing, but I watched Blade Runner for the first time yesterday (got the blu-ray version of amazon) and it was very fun seeing that design artwork and concept sketches by him shown in the documentary that came with it. :)
Why haven't I heard about this guy sooner?!

What?! No Blade Runner until moments ago? DAMN. (http://junk.tg-16.com/images/pcgs.png)

Yeah, not really sure how to explain it but there's tons of well known movies, classics even, that I just haven't seen yet. I'd like to think that this is because my family never has been that into watching movies. And with friends I've mostly seen newer stuff, I guess.
It's a bit like a PC gamer not having played Half-Life I suppose...(though I have played that at least) :mrgreen:
Also I blow my money on other stuff, mostly.

There are tons of "famous" films/movies I have never watched (and I am a film buff!). I don't know when (if ever) I'll watch them now unless my daughter wants to watch it. (http://junk.tg-16.com/images/pcgs.png)
The same thing applies to video games, as well...there are entire generations/platforms that I've barely explored. I simply tell myself that I will get to that stuff "in the future"...

Don't feel bad, I've never watched any of the Godfather movies and some people think I'm committing a crime against cinema or something. All in time, which may or may not ever come. I've seen references to it parodied so much I wonder if I could even take the originals seriously at this point.

Well worth your time seeing Godfather...in case you needed me to encourage you. (http://junk.tg-16.com/images/pcgs.png)
On that note, I have never seen Casablanca. Well, I fell asleep during it. I want to watch it...

I have never seen a Rocky movie...

Holy sh*t, you are in for a treat. Great stuff, and I'm not the sort of person who would endorse a boxing film...but I even like the cheesy ones (where Stallone? mentors up-and-coming "Tommy Gun").

I HAVE NEVER SEEN:
Iron Man/Marvel films. Don't care.
Pirates of Caribbean series. Whatever.
99% of the stuff you love.

How dare you say that? (http://junk.tg-16.com/images/pcgs.png)
but hey, they aren't that bad (for new movies)^^
But never seen a Rocky movie is like never played -=R-TYPE=- on PC Engine.

Ditto.

I've seen Rocky, but it was only until a couple years back. Like others have said, definitely a treat. Watched them in a marathon with a few friends one night. We only got through the 4th one, but those are all the good ones anyway from what I hear.
OT: Sid Mead! Always loved his work! I want to buy his art to decorate my future house with.
