MIST1016 truly had it all – and some things, it seems, it had twice! xer0 demonstrated handily that there’s more than one way to skin a Nintendo game! His earlier glitched-out Castlevania hirez piece (what a coincidence, and both of their nicknames being situated toward the end of the alphabet as they are threw them so close together… the pieces were fated to meet thus!) highlights flaws and errors rather than elegance and beauty, and in so doing penetrates straight to the heart of the subject: that something is fundamentally wrong with this whole bloody system!

(Have you tried blowing in the slot?)

Mist Classic alumnus Whazzit has been busy brewing up some unprecedented stylistic mash-ups, colliding HD photography of landscapes and architecture with ANSI art figures. He just released a bundle of them in the Blocktronics Blocktober artpack, but beating them out by a nose in MIST1016 was this, his Hallowe'eny take on the subject of Castlevania, Konami’s eternal video game series celebrating the conflict between the Belmont family and the vampire Dracula. Here we see Simon Belmont and Drac facing each other down across an elegant chamber, while a small flock of bats rest and stretch way up high.

(Of course, my favorite part is that there’s an entire roast chicken hidden inside the third pillar from the left!)
