Vestiges from my advertising days. One of the more prestigious (which is to say the only prestigious) clients we had at my first agency job was a software company with a contract to do video arcade games based on Disney theme park rides. Rudimentary stuff, very Pac Man-esque, back in the day of APPLE IIs, when Donkey Kong was king of the arcades. As seen above my design for the Matterhorn game was pretty close to the final product sold in stores. The JUNGLE CRUISE game however, that one never saw the light of a cathode ray tube. Old timers may recall the basis for my illustration -- from the original version of the ride... where the jungle boatmaster actually shot the hippo in its gaping maw, much to the horror of the kiddies aboard.You can check out actual MATTERHORN SCREAMER game play at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAEyiDCN6jY
