What’s the next logical progression following the retro-game cover meme Olly Moss has inadvertently spread across the net? Title sequences, obviously, and Moss-cohort Mitch ‘Spacesick’ Ansara (who already has been in the spotlight in recent months for his brilliant ‘I Can Read Movies‘ series) is taking the first steps in that direction with an in-progress Bass-ian animated cinematic sequence for Namco’s Dig Dug as reinterpreted through the lens of 1958 (and the blog post title more blatantly giving away the source of its inspiration).

Coincidentally, Ansara’s latest I Can Read Movies cover? The best film games culture has birthed to date: Seth Gordon’s King of Kong.
