Let’s Sabotage Some Video Games

Submitted by Shane on June 12, 2008 – 11:50 amComments

Rico & Tof of the popular site: Sabotage create entertaining and creative video games about video games. Their mastered niche is to turn classic titles like Pac Man, Tetris or Xevious into an online, interactive art installation. Here’s what they have to say about their games:

We tried to be entertaining, funny here, not so funny there and at times just weird, but we mostly tried to have you take a step back and think about the inner workings of video games. The mechanisms, the conventions, the aesthetic, the discourse, the storytelling and, of course, the potential.

Check out their Sabotage on Tetris with epic background music, cinematic backdrops and obvious references to Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968).

Sabotage’s latest title is a Docudrama that takes the classic Atari game – Missile Command from 1980 and slaps a Cold War era context to it.

Check out Retro Sabotage, they’re entertaining!
