Check out these awesome vector art variations on classic arcade game characters.
Game enthusiast Philipp Lenssen took partial screenshots from famous arcade games and ran them through VectorMagic, a nifty online bitmap-to-vector conversion tool, then enlarged them to exaggerate the line-art effect.
I’m so used to seeing all these gaming icons in their traditional pixel block form, it was really cool to see them reinterpreted in a way I never imagined.
The only thing cooler would be a MAME video filter that would actually let you play the games in their vector form.
You can check Philipp’s entire collection of vectorized video game art over on Google Blogoscoped.
