I'm not entirely certain that all of these are meant to represent specific games, but they certainly capture the spirit of video aesthetics of the Atari age.

Mash-Up: Doctor Who / Adventure Time
![Adventure Time + Doctor Who = Super Awesome
Relentlessly cheerful artist James Hance (previously featured here) painted this incredible “Adventure Timey-Wimey” mural on his 9-year-old daughter Maddy’s wall. From the Gunter Daleks to the BMO TARDIS to the Ice King as a Weeping Angel, it’s almost unbearably wonderful.
But wait, it gets even better because the whole concept was Maddy’s to start with:
"She had the idea for an Adventure Time / Doctor Who crossover, and had all the characters mapped out (You can see where I get my ideas from!)"
Prints of this awesome mash-up are currently available via James Hance’s website.

If you’re interested in the comics censorship efforts of the 1950s, this brief story links to a PDF of a 1954 article about the Knights of Columbus “cleaning up” local newsstands by pressuring them to remove comics that had “sex and sadism and glorified crime.”
Lauren Rapciak reports in on the first Northwest Indiana Comic Con. Attendance was about 2,000, and Rapciak would like to see it in a bigger space this year.

10 Video Game Sequels That Need To Happen
American Lawmakers Attack Violent Video Game Developers: The Washington Examiner reports that the GOP tax plan singles out violent video game makers on the upcoming tax reform bill. How they do this is by removing the proposed research and development tax break. As reported by Colin Moriarty of IGN, this came about through the Ways & Means Committee which is controlled by the majority of the House of Representative, being the GOP or Republican Party. The Washington Examiner also has the story. The R&D tax benefit allows companies to successfully conduct research and development to further their businesses. This includes access to customer bases for marketing purposes, access to talent and (key to the games industry) stable information technology infrastructure. This bill would exclude companies who make violent games from access to these credits, preventing developers from even qualifying for them. However, at this stage, it is not fully known what would constitute as “violent."
