Will Somebody Please Make This Old-School Graffiti Video Game?
We all knew this day would come: space aliens release a mysterious plague on Earth, and the only thing preventing humanity's enslavement is an elite force of graffiti writers unleashing aerosol-based hell.
That's the plot, anyway, of "LEPOS: The Primary Invasion," a catchy old-school video game conceived by old-school graffiti artist Diego Bergia (aka "LEPOS"). Bergia rarely does walls anymore, but he's picked up a kick-ass substitute in "The Primary Invasion," whose plot goes something like this: Robotic marauders from a distant planet have developed a "new primary color" that is toxic to earthlings, causing intense fits of terror and rage that will eventually lead to the end of civilization. Enter LEPOS, Bergia's imaginary hero who resembles a cartoon lemming or a cuter version of the fetus from Eraserhead. Our bulgy-eyed protagonist must go around North American cities with spray paint or paint roller in hand, scrawling warnings to people to "cover your eyes" lest they get infected with the deadly alien hue-blight.
