Kotaku ‘Shop Contest: Next-Gen Cereal System Edition [Photoshop]

Last week a box of 22-year-old cereal sold for more than $200 on eBay . Video game cereals died in the 8-bit era. Since then there have been four console generations – and zero cereal systems. That’s where you come in. This week’s assignment: Create a game-themed cereal box whose crossover is just as cynical, whose contents are half as nutritious, and whose lifespan would be even shorter-lived than the Nintendo Cereal System of 1988. Considering the hundreds of games we’ve seen since then, this is the most open-ended ‘Shop Contest topic to date. But don’t be limited by that timeframe. If you want to do some Frosted Mini-Fairchild Channel F Wheats, have at it. Your source material is basically infinite, but here is a very good site to get you started: Cereal Box Covers at Cover Browser There are some 850 cereal box covers spanning the history of 20th century breakfast at that link. I am honestly expecting no fewer that four dozen Team Fortress 2 submissions, and at least one Peter Jackson’s King Kong: The Official Cereal of the Official Game of the Movie. Get cracking! We’ll round up the 20 best next week. Note: Image dimensions cannot be larger than 800 pixels tall and 1200 pixels wide. Thanks.
