Etrian Odyssey III: The Drowned City, The Southern Sea, by Zach.

Notes: I wish I had made notes on the in-game map that says what item you get from what little island, because then this would have been a little bit more interesting. Sadly, all I remember is that you get sheep cheese from the island north of the main port.

[Josh says: this is just super great.  And EO is a wonderful game as far as meta-level map stuff goes, what with the built-in drawing-a-map-on-graph-paper game mechanic.]

I knew about Matej Jan (a.k.a. Retronator) when he released his first iPhone game, Monkey Labour. Since I am an enthusiastic for Game & Watch handhelds and the game was really good I wrote a few words about it here.

Now I have in my hands one of his latest works: this Tribute Pixel Art Poster. An absolutely amazing pixelated homage to retro-gaming, full of details and printed with vivid colors over canvas. The kind of stuff that your wall needs, retro-gamer fellows.

You can buy one of this special hand-signed limited editions on Matej etsy shop or a regular print at society6. 

And don’t forget to check out and follow Retronator’s tumblr site, designed as an old text adventure.
