This work is about the stories that were written behind the video games called “Arcades”. Computer designers of these 8-bit games realized that adding a script and a cinematic style to a game could captivated the player with small dramas very simple at first and then more complicated like today’s video games. The Duel pays tribute to those early “Arcade” video games in which every game had a good story behind the game itself. In this particular case is The Monster Vs. The Robot Daemond Vs. Robox Z.

This animation is based on the first experimental films of the early twentieth century, DADA, the Surrealist movement, Kandinsky, Malevich, Norman McLaren, Duchamp, Op Art, Pop Art, and especially Japanese anime cartoons such as Mazinger Z and Ultraman.
