Arcangel's best known works are his Nintendo game cartridge hacks and reworkings of obsolete computer systems of the 70's and 80's. [7]

Some examples of his work are Super Mario Clouds, a Mario cartridge from which everything but the clouds has been erased, Sans Simon, a video of Simon and Garfunkel where Arcangel films his hand blocking out the image of Paul Simon on screen, and I Shot Andy Warhol, which replaces targets in the shooting game "Hogan's Alley" with images of Pope John Paul II, Flavor Flav, and Andy Warhol.

Arcangel has worked in collaboration with the Paper Rad Art Collective to make Super Mario Movie, a 15 minute video made by replacing the Super Mario Bros. game code with a movie program written by Arcangel. All the graphics were left intact and were used by the movie engine, which tells the story of the game world becoming corrupted and Mario questioning his own existence.


This dude is way more awesome than anyone in the world with the possible exception of Robocop.
