Isometric pixel art of a retro gaming room. Shelves hold game cartridges, Mario mushrooms, Sonic, Link, Pokéballs and Bomberman. Stacked CRT TVs show Mario, with an NES, SNES, PlayStation, Neo Geo and Game Boy. Arcade cabinets, an Atari poster, birthday cakes, a dog, and two men playing.

A dialogue box reads: "* Despite everything, it's still you." A red quote card with a white opening quotation mark above a white horizontal line. White capital letters read: "VIDEO GAMES FOSTER THE MINDSET THAT ALLOWS CREATIVITY TO GROW." Below a second white line is the attribution "NOLAN BUSHNELL".
