As children in the seventies and eighties, many classic gamers were charged with making an “alphabet” out of various subjects. An animal alphabet might begin with Aardvark, Bird, Cat, Dog, Elephant etc. Sometimes, regardless of the alphabet, the creator starts stretching his or her luck a little bit. Not so with video gaming.

Check out this video gaming alphabet from A to Z, Atari to Zelda. The story broke on Kotaku, and its interesting chart of video gaming icons…many of them true classics…has gamers all across the globe checking out the list of gaming characters and icons, trying to determine how many they can recognize. Of course, everyone has a hint, since the icons represent a given letter of the alphabet.

This particular alphabetical poster was submitted by a designer and illustrator from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Maicon Costa’s poster is just one of many possibilities. How many can you recognize?
