Is It A Game? No, It's SKUZZLES New WAR GAMES Poster!
It’s been far too long since we’ve featured the movie poster work of the team at Skuzzles, but they shot us a line this morning with their latest print, and we knew we just had to have it here at Blast-O-Rama!

Being released in a standard and variant edition, the print becomes available Tomorrow, July 23rd at 12pm EST, and is a wonderful artistic interpretation of the Matthew Broderick classic.  Full pricing and edition details (along with comments from James White) are in the press release below - have your F5 key ready at Noon at Skuzzles.com!
We are really excited to be announcing our latest addition to the Skuzzles poster family. We reached out to another of our fellow axe-wielding, plaid covered, maple syrup chugging Canadian, James White of Signal Noise, to create an officially licensed limited edition screen print for the 1983 cult classic War Games.   This Academy Award nominated hit starring Matthew Broderick, was one of the first movies to expose "hacker culture" on the big screen and featured the use of the IMSAI 8080 microcomputer and a 212A (Cermetek) modem.  It was no surprise that James’ artwork completely nailed the feel of the movie combining the digital tech, military and character aspects of the film. When James presented us the idea of his variant to compliment his incredible stylish regular we were completely on board. The end result of the variant gives the perception you are looking at a monochrome CRT computer monitor aka “Green Screen".We can’t wait to hear your reactions when you see these war games screen prints in person.  Such an amazing look to this print.
Here’s a little bit from James White regarding his War Games poster:
“I’ve been a fan of WAR GAMES since I was a little kid, so I was psyched when Skuzzles approached me to do an official poster for the film. Pretty honoured, especially since this movie is pre-Bueller Broderick. That’s a big deal in my household. I immediately started sketching up some ideas and was heavily focused on old Atari box art for inspiration. I didn’t transfer that actual Atari aesthetic, but more the layouts and compositions served as a great starting point. After a few rounds of sketching, the poster was nailed down. Super fun.”
