The Classic NES Series continues with more great old-school games. If you missed yesterday, be sure to check that out. I took it upon myself to draw 21 posters to some of the best NES games. Thank you to everyone who commented on the first bunch; please comment on these as well, as I would like to hear what you have to say. Please enjoy! You can check out more of my art at Deviantart here.

Blaster Master has better abs than I ever thought he would... That was a cool game. Did they do a remake of that recently, or am I thinking of A Boy and his Blob?

These are amazing. I really wish I could draw.

Thanks, Matt. The remake was indeed A Boy and his Blob, released for the Wii by WayForward. A Blaster Master remake by the same developer would be awesome!

I wish I was an artist. Any kind of artist would do.

It's not too late to start learning now, if you're willing to take the time.

Nice work man! I'm glad to see Contra made it. I love that game to death. I don't think I could ever get sick of playing it. I had bought Blaster Master aways back, but haven't gotten around to it yet. My friend told me that it's massive for NES standards.

Contra is one of the all-time best NES games. I grew up playing Super C, and own the first three Contra games, all of which are stellar. The Contra poster is one of my favorites; it turned out better than I thought it would!

As soon as I saw Soda Popinsky, I had to run to the refrig and get a soda myself. That's one hellava man!

Popinski is one of the best Punch-Out characters. I enjoyed drawing all of those guys.

Who's that in green in the middle of the Final Fantasy one? It looks like Link, but I know it can't be. Or did you put him there for giggly shits?

That's a thief, they typically dress in green in those first few FF games. Sorry, it's not Link (you can refer to The Legend of Zelda poster for him).
