Video game propaganda posters you've never seen before

It's virtual wartime and the troops need motivation!

Words: Justin Towell on October 14, 2009

We're used to being the good guys. But did you ever stop to think about it from the enemy's point of view? Wouldn't our heroes look completely different?

Of course, just as in the real world, wartime imagery and alternative views of the enemy could undoubtedly be perpetuated with some propaganda posters… like these.

The Legend of Zelda

Super Mario World

BioShock

Dead Rising

Gears of War

Advance Wars

Super Mario Bros

The Robotnik one is pretty classy. The Che Goomba one reminds me of the flash animation The People's Mario for some reason (http://88by31.com/flashman/thepeoplesmario.swf)

Goos article, but I think they're were a little abstract for the purpose. Some lacked punch. Nice idea though.

It's set in the future, when a man's children ask him what he did in the war. He's ashamed because he shirked his responsibility and didn't enrol in the army. The idea being, if you enrol and fight you'll never feel that shame. Pretty clever, really!
