Looking to inspire young men into enlisting for the digital wars of 1980s arcade games, illustrated Steve Thomas created a series of propaganda posters playing to the general populace's fears of giant apes and incoming barrels creeping into our fine country and taking away our freedoms.

He produced four posters in all, each for a different classic game: Donkey Kong, Joust, Dig Dug, and Frogger (the latter two after the break). All of the prints are for sale in several sizes -- 11"x16", 15"x22", 23"x34", and 35"x52" -- priced from $11.95 to $41.95 with media and framing options.
