Post by: esteban on March 14, 2010, 08:49:33 AM: So, I was at the mall last week. Student artwork was displayed:

YOUR MISSION, should you choose to accept it:

Identify two references to our beloved PCE universe.

One is EASY. The other one is more challenging.

DISCLAIMER: I wish I had a better camera. Alas, I only had a cell phone. I didn't alter the images in any manner.

My friends, I'll give you a hint: There is a STRONG REFERENCE to a Super CD-ROM game.

Good luck!

Hahahhahahahaha. I'll give you 3 points for creativity :)

Seriously, though, this is a game that YOU LIKE, Mr. Sunteam_Paul :)

HINT HINT: This game was ARCADE and then ported to consoles, micros, PC's.

Well there's an Easter Island head from Gradius, but that's not what you're talking about.

Damn, I never noticed that!

But, it's in the "close-up pic". So it focuses only on the one painting.

HINT HINT HINT: It's not hidden, or obscure, it's in plain sight, and, personally, it's something I noticed right away (because it is unusual). Also: SEGA!

You guys are harsh! :) For a totally random painting by a middle school kid that I saw at the mall...

...throw a blue hat on Robo and Mobo, turn up the brim, toss in a bouquet of flowers and... VOILA!
