I give you Swedish Super Mario costumes from the 80’s to the early 00’s.

What a run with Arcade Paradise by
Nosebleed and published by Wired. Had a blast building out the arcade and playing plenty of interpretations of arcade games. Brilliant!

Amazing quality of the Skullhornets rug from the #Batsugun collection by Kumagumi. I’m stoked and couldn’t have imagined that the Toaplan heritage would manifest in such shapes.

And finally it is time to take the wraps off Flying Shark, Slap Fight, Hellfire and Fire Shark!

So much fun to get these game available on Steam and GoG for Windows, Linux and Mac!
