Why Didn't KISS Have a Video Game?

Seriously, KISS whored out their name to anything, why not a video game? I decided to make the universe right again by making a KISS video game cartridge. I illustrated an Atari looking KISS logo and portrait of Gene Simmons, then glued it to the cartridge. I also thought if KISS did have a game, it may as well be silver (kinda like Legend of Zelda was gold). The screen image was re-drawn based on the Journey game (which for some reason exists).
This was supposed to be for the Game Core Con- Art on Atari Cartridges show, but my work schedule did not allow me to get it done in time. =(I had posted it on my own blog, but haven't had a chance to mirror it here. It was brought to my attention that KISS had a video game in the 90's, but it sucked. They also had a few pinball machines. This piece was also featured on ALBOTAS yesterday.

Mario Cart

Here is the painted Atari cartridge that I donated to the Too Many Games convention. I decided to turn my cart into Mario as he appeared in the game Mario Bros. Not Super Mario Bros, but rather the first "bros" game which featured arcade style action of Mario and Luigi bopping turtles and crabs that came out of pipes. In the early days Mario seemed to get drastically redesigned for every new game he was in, but this version was always my favorite of his retro looks. Plus Mario Bros was actually ported to the Atari 2600, so it seemed appropriate.

I tried to take a bunch of fun pictures since I knew I'd never see the little guy again:

You can also find some progress photos on my blog.
