Atari decided to reveal some new retro artwork for their upcoming game Pixel Ripped 1978, created by Tim Lapetino and Phil Noto. If those names aren't immediately familiar to you, Lapetino directed the artwork for this particular piece, while Noto is a prolific comic artist and illustrator. The two have come together to give the game a look that matches the kind of art you would find on Atari titles back in the company's heyday, as the image you see below will be used as part of the box art for a game that explores the history of gaming to a degree. The game is still earmarked to be released sometime this Summer.
