Kotaku 'Shop Contest: Time Travelers Winners

We may earn a commission from links on this page.

We sent readers on a 'shopping spree back in time last week. Three-hundred and seventy-two Hitler entries later, what did they bring back for us?

Kidding, but the German chancellor was a favorite of many in last week's challenge, which asked readers to pair off iconic historic photographs or images with video game equipment or scenes. So let's get right to it: BigDikJohnson (4) took the GameBoy to the depths of the Depression; Duck45 (9) had the best of the Iwo Jima entries. A few skinned Spy sapping the Hindendburg, but EdificeComplex (10) went in a different direction and gets rewarded for his originality.

Faces of death: Nerf Herder (14) walks the line; Cleesox (7) took a flying leap across it with one I secretly laughed at but could never publish; this submission isn't much more tasteful, but the inclusion of Asshole Dog makes it a straight up winner in my book.

Others: DEVOlutionSpud (8) shows a fast idea and simple execution can deliver a barrel of laughs. Zoom in on Snake56 (18), it's worth it. Hitler playing Angry Birds, by SolidGoldChimp (19) is especially fitting and the best of anything featuring him.

But this week's overall winner is andrejolicoeur (2), giving us Bison's first Street Fighter bout in recorded history. It was a reader favorite, and mine too.

Congratulations all, and we'll see you in here for a new challenge tomorrow. I promise it won't be time travel related.
