Previous game posters:
In our Cactus Bowl poster, a parody of Pitfall!, Goldy swings from a giant saguaro cactus over a pit in the Sonoran Desert. In the distance are the McDowell Mountains, and below the ground lurks West Virginia's musket-wielding Mountaineer.
The version of Pitfall! I used as the base for the aesthetic was the ColecoVision port because it had a more vibrant color palette than the original Atari 2600 release, though I ended up not sticking strictly to said palette for the whole thing. The sprite designs, limited by the number of pixels the game could use, are simple and flawed. Rather than correct these imperfections, I decided to stay true to them in most cases. This is why Goldy's chest seemingly has a hole in it, as Pitfall Harry's sprite has the same issue.
Thank you to everyone who viewed these posters or even showed them to someone else. I don't know if a similar series will return for 2022, but I enjoyed putting it together this season.
