It’s true, kids… There was a time when U.S. quarters and 8-bits worth of action ruled. Animator, PES, wants to give us the warm nostalgic feeling that only old-school video games can provide.

Game Over is a brilliant stop-motion animation that uses food and everyday items to recreate classic video game action.

The blistering speed and chaos of Centipede is recreated with muffins and cupcakes, while Pac-Man is made from a pizza pie with some slices removed. No wonder the ghosts chase him around. Quarters up!!

After crafting the most creative guacamole possible, artist/filmmaker PES is back, and now he wants a sandwich.

Submarine Sandwich is the third installment of PES’s trio of brilliant food-related animations. This time, a sandwich is created with vintage sporting equipment and other random items, including googly eyes. Please watch this.

Filmmaker PES is back, and just made the process of tableside guacamole that much more awesome. I’m not really sure how to explain what’s going on in his short film, Fresh Guacamole, but it’s certified-awesome.

Although, I like mine with a little more baseball.
