Offworld Gallery: The games factory, how Mario, Tetris, Sonic, Pong were made
I've already highlighted some of the excellent photography in the latest issue of France's games/fashion mag Amusement, but this one's even more special: a series of photographs from the magazine's Made of Myth feature, in which photographer Marc Da Cunha Lopes ("aisakie") shows us the factory work behind the most iconic games of the past few decades: the smelting of Sonic's rings, the chiseling of the 1-Up mushroom, and the rubber-pressed rebounding blocks of Arkanoid.
Below the fold, then, the full high-res gallery, with special permission from Amusement.

so so so so so great!
Looks like the Tetris factory also manufactures Weighted Companion Cubes...
This is by far some of the coolest photography I've ever seen.
I saw these photos in AMUSEMENT, and they changed my life. I got the magazine because my fossils were in it, and I was very proud of myself. Then I got to these photos, and I was humbled beyond belief.
Simply amazing.
Schmod - no, those are just your typical weighted storage cubes. Do you see a pink heart on them? DO YOU???
Heh heh heh.. I KNEW IT! Now we just need to find the Princess and get into the Smash TV Studios!! "Big Money, Big Prizes, I LOVE IT!"
Are there any photos of the Space Giraffe factory? Or do those images just come on small squares of blotter paper?
