The Viral Colorado GameStop Mural That Time Forgot

A GameStop in Colorado went viral recently because it has a mural that has not changed since 2007. A GameStop in Glendale, Colorado, has had the same video game promotion mural since the release of “Halo 3”.

Why the Colorado Halo 3 Mural Is Still Legendary

Video game enthusiasts found the mural hilarious, considering that it has been almost 20 years since the Xbox 360 game was released. The promotional mural features Master Chief, the main character of the Halo series.

@VideoGameHstry posted the photo on X, and GameStop responded by saying, “We’ll take it down when something better comes out”.

Fans Celebrate Nostalgia at Glendale’s GameStop

Social media users were thrilled that the video game is still regarded as one of the best of all time. Many X users said that they hope that they never remove the nearly 20-year mural from the Glendale, Colorado GameStop location.

“Halo 3” is one of the best-selling games of all time. It has sold over 12 million copies. I played the game a ton when I was a teenager. It was one of the first games that I played online with friends, and when I think about the video game, I can almost smell Doritos and Mountain Dew in the air.
