Now, 30 years have passed since the video game appeared and media are flooded with the visual image which used the video game for. Many of those images are expression faithful to the fundamental character of video game of being built by the dot and it is different from the visuals in the new generation game machine in recent years which approach a real expression. The origin of thise images will go back to the machine and 8-bit machine of the game initial stage. The work of the designers who gathered here is manipulated in consciousness by making a video game image into a new visual language with the love for classic games.
