Say. Rip — The True World

Coming soon

Archive note

Japanese arcade flyer for Say. Rip, a 1988 action game by Taito featuring a lone gunman with a cybernetic eye confronting an army of skull-faced suited antagonists. The poster's dual-language command structure ("Obey consumption" / "Obey servitude") suggests a satirical take on consumer culture and corporate conformity rendered through 8-bit gameplay. Recovered from a Tokyo arcade distributor's archive; appeals to collectors of obscure Taito ephemera and Japanese arcade dystopia aesthetics.

Catalogued, not yet released. This artifact will become available to acquire soon.

One artifact. One owner. On acquisition it is permanently retired from the archive. You receive the high-resolution file and a signed certificate of exclusivity.
