All manner of scifi/fantasy/nerdness: Roleplaying, comic books, .... okay, so mainly just RPGs & comic books. And Dr. Who. And Firefly. And comic books. And role-playing games. And Community. And Buffy the Vampire Slayer. And comic books. And RPGs. And Avengers. And RPGS. And whatever else amuses me today...

 

Not to get all “Get off my lawn,” but I get sad that Atari always gets left out of the “Old School Gaming” parties.  It was the original home video game console, but everybody acts like 8-bit graphics were the beginning.

Reblogging because people usually leave out Atari so it makes me happy when pre 8-bit games get some love & respect.

The moment I got over my Atari 2600.  Also the reason I still want an Intellivision.

MODERN DAY CLASSICS GONE CLASSIC

OTLgamingDeviantART user Bunnelle has a vision for the future of gaming that doesn’t include HD graphics and surround sound, but instead features a bountiful harvest of 8bit goodness.

Or, she simply had the idea of taking modern day games and re-envisioning them in the style of classic Atari cartridge art. It’s definitely one of the two.

I’m always thrilled to see anything Atari-related.  It seems so much of the modern notion of “classic video games” skips to the NES & 8-bit games.
