Rob Nance designed this do-it-yourself poseable paper Hasselhoff.

A commission by Stuff Magazine, but they never used it. You can download a PDF of it by right clicking HERE.

Rob also has a poseable Pope for download. No evil twin for that one I’m afraid.

Amazing. We’re think of building a life sized version backed on foam board. Take it out with you and watch the admiring glances.

Are you my Mummy?

Masked cyclist sounds gas-attack warning

A pre 1939 public information advertisement. If the cyclist was in a crowd I don’t think the image would be quite as unnerving, as a cutout and staring straight at you I can just imagine the words “are you my Mummy?” coming from the loud hailer.

‘Sounding a loud alarm through a loudspeaker clamped to the handlebars of his bicycle, a masked rider wheeled through London streets recently, like a modern Paul Revere, to test the efficiency of a new method of warning the public against sudden aerial gas attacks in war time. Equipped with gas mask and respirator, the cyclist broadcast warnings through a microphone built into the mask and wired to the battery-operated loudspeaker.’

Donkey Kong

January 01, 2009 | By retrofuture | Category: Miscellaneous   

Donkey Kong now available in the Penny Arcade.

As far as I can see (and I’ve played it quite a few times), it’s only got the first level. Please let me know if you have a full Flash or Java arcade perfect version of the game.

I can vividly remember the Dragon 32 version (Donkey King)... It’s probably my favourite arcade game of the 80’s.
