PowerPig, the OldSurge mascot, uses a surge protector as a shield to protect a vintage Packard Bell computer system from a lightning strike. The scene includes a Packard Bell multimedia computer with side-mounted speakers, a U.S. Robotics 56K modem, storm clouds, and lightning effects rendered in a retro pixel-art style inspired by late-1990s computer graphics. Created for the OldSurge Archive in 2026.
