famicases
A game by it's cover is a wonderful event where I got to know a lot of inspiring folks.
This event is about turning fictional game cartridge label art from the my famicase exhibition into real games.the my famicase exhibition is an annual art exhibition in Tokyo for fictional game cartridge labels for the old Nintendo famicom. Of course, it fills my heart to see that they accepted these pieces.
