This has got to be the silliest thing I’ve made.
Based on the Sega Genesis port of the 1989 arcade game Zero Wind. This is my comic book style love letter to the, shall we say, “inelegant” translation of the opening cut scene.
I thought it might be time for another wave All Your Base nostalgia. It harkens back to a simpler time when the Internet only had capacity for three jokes until new punch cards were fed into The Woz’s PDP-11, and transmitted via a 2400 baud modem until Mom picked up the phone. Anyways, my memory is not absolutely perfect, so the main message here is that all your base belong to us, you have no chance to survive make your time for great justice. Thanks.
Some notes of the making of this shadowbox—
I’ve been meaning to work with comic book style panels for a while, and this was a fun opportunity to figure all that stuff out. This is more like five Glitch’s rather than one. Each section’s design was about the same amount of work as a whole finished shadow box. In the future I’d like to do this with an indy comic book page. Might be a bit of fun.
I have put this up on my website as well:

Sorry for all the water marks-- I've had some trouble with offshore companies ganking my images and scamming folks.
