I think the 2 on the right are really working. The top one
is showing the earth surrendering because it can’t take anymore rubbish. The
bottom one is a common symbol (gas mask) of video game/movie/tv dystopian world
brought into a real world setting. Often in these games part of your survival
is to scavenge useful items from trash. So this concept could work for a
scavenger hunt event using dystopia: its not just a game. This could use a real
beach and vectored/illustrated trash and person, for a real life x video game
motif.
We got comments on our sandcastle that perhaps the plastic
bag flag enough of a hint at pollution that we don’t need to show other
rubbish. The other rubbish was drawing the focus away from the central image
and confusing. Cropping the image on the bottom left to the one on the right
also addresses this issue.

Satina: Classic Games
We were looking at what game characters we could use that are well known and could have some relevance to our messages.
Most well known classic games
- Tetris
- Pac-man
- Super Mario
- Pong
- Donkey kong
Shigeru Miyamoto, the creator of the 'Super Mario' and 'Legend Of Zelda'
franchises, is also the creator of the red-tie-wearing great ape named Donkey
Kong. He first started off as a bad guy throwing barrels at Nintendo's little
red plumber, but he really grew up in Rare's 'Donkey Kong Country' series,
which featured three-dimensional playable characters Donkey and Diddy Kong in a
mostly 2D side-scrolling world of jungles, oceans, and more. He is one of the
most iconic characters in all of gaming, and his difficult side-scrolling
adventures continue to attract new fans on Nintendo's current platforms.
- Legend of Zelda
- Street fighter
- Asteroids
- Silent hill
- Mrs. Pac-man
- Tron
- Sonic
Sonic, that blue anthropomorphic hedgehog who runs at supersonic speeds
and curls into a spiky ball to hit people, is one of the most recognisable game
characters ever created. His side-scrolling games mostly involve racing through
levels, avoiding obstacles, and collecting golden power up rings. Though Sega's
mascot rivaled Mario in popularity, his games in recent years have not been
received well -- although he has joined Mario on a few occasions, most notably
in Nintendo's 'Super Smash Bros.' franchise.
- Centipede
- Final fantasy
- World of war craft
- Grand theft auto
The 'Grand Theft Auto' series started out in 2D, and has since branched
out into a huge open world, where players take on the role of a criminal.
Gameplay involves stealing cars, assassinating someone, and pretty much any
other criminal activity you can think of.
- Skyrim
- Call of duty
The first-person shooter was originally released on PC but expanded to
consoles and even mobile. The games range from taking place during World War II
and the Cold War, to being set in the future. Sometimes way far in the future.
- The sims
- Resident evil
Post-apocolyptic
world where a zombie
- Need for speed
- Fallout 3
It is set in a Post-atomic bomb blast world that has left
everything in ruins. The scenery is a wasteland of broken down buildings,
discarded bottles, cars and other junk. There are tool boxes, mailboxes, metal
boxes, crates etc that you have to
scavenge through in order to find weapons/armour/food/drink/chemicals anything
you use or sell maintain weapons, armour and health. You have to complete
quests to progress through the story.
- Tekken
Fighting game. Vs screens. Health bars. Character select
screens.
- Soulcalibur
Fighting game. Vs screens. Health bars. Character select
screens.
- Little big planet
You play as customisable little sack people. This is really
targeted at children
- Kingdom hearts
A Disney game where you fly from world to world in a gummi
ship fighting shadows/the darkness.
- The last of us
In Naughty Dog's adventure/survival horror game, you play as Joel, a man
who is forced to survive a zombie apocalypse that claims many of his loved
ones. You are charged with smuggling a teenage girl named Ellie, who is immune
to the virus that turns people into zombies, to a group of rebels fighting the
quarantine zone authorities that want to kill her. It's a stunning tale with
several twists and turns, but it's beautiful throughout and the plot makes it
feel like you're in a movie. In fact, the game will soon be a movie, to be
produced by Sam Raimi.
- Assasins creed
- Portal
- Halo
In 2001, Bungie redefined the first-person shooter with the original
'Halo,' which let characters play as the super soldier marine known as Master
Chief as he took on a religious alien alliance known as the Covenant. In the
original games, the Covenant is trying to activate Halo, a planet-sized ring
created to destroy all sentient life in the universe, and you as Master Chief
are trying to stop them.
- Bioshock
A spiritual successor to the dystopian 'System Shock' series -- and
produced by former developers of that series -- the first 'BioShock' game in
2007 introduced gamers to the underwater city of Rapture, learning of the
city's past through exploration while defending themselves from the city's
horrific denizens, the creepy Splicers, and the heavily-armoured Big Daddies.
Luckily, you have tons of unique weapons and super powers at your disposal --
powers you get by either saving the human Little Sisters that accompany the Big
Daddies, or harvesting their bodies for more of that superhuman juice. The decisions
you make throughout the game affect how it's played, and how it all ends.
