London-based graphic designer and illustrator Aled Lewis has combined his geeky love for old school 8-bit video game characters and travel photography into one of the best Flickr gallery mashups we’ve seen in a long time. Check out E. Honda, Link, and even that snarky dog from Duck Hunt in their “natural” habitat after the jump.
We took the liberty of adding clips from original games Lewis drew inspiration from. Now put on your HyperColor shirt and strap on your Power Glove and proceed to the awesomeness.

Duck Hunt
E. Honda (Street Fighter)
