I’ve already highlighted some of the excellent photography in the latest issue of France’s games/fashion mag Amusement, but this one’s even more special: a series of photographs from the magazine’s Made of Myth feature, in which photographer Marc Da Cunha Lopes (“aisakie“) shows us the factory work behind the most iconic games of the past few decades: the smelting of Sonic‘s rings, the chiseling of the 1-Up mushroom, and the rubber-pressed rebounding blocks of Arkanoid.

Below the fold, then, the full high-res gallery, with special permission from Amusement.
