A British design studio gives a retro makeover to a few iconic films and television shows, making us happy we have eyeballs.
The British design team over at Penney Design have plenty to share in their online portfolio. Take these retro (and completely fictitious) Atari “Cartridge Video System” game boxes — they meet at the intersection of 80s box art sensibilities and film/TV pop culture and have a block party.
From Moneybags Cameron’s epic airbending Avatar to that show nobody watched where a bunch of people were stuck on an “island,” these iconic films and television shows get the royal pixelized treatment.
Hey all you RAD retro gamers. Today we’re going to be challenging your views on retro gaming’s whipping post, the Sega CD. Open your mind, maybe it’s not as bad as you thought! NOTE: We are fans of the AVGN’s work. This video is not intended to slander him in any way. REVIEWED: -Sega CD Games mentioned: -Sonic CD -Shining Force CD -Robo Aleste -Dune -The Terminator -Spiderman vs. The Kingpin -Dune -Third World War Enjoy! Remember, RETRO RULES!
An “indie dream team” has put together a pixeltastic retro-style puzzle-platformer with a gorgeous soundtrack.
You might not know the names Laura Shigihara, Roger Hicks and Paul Veer straight away, but chances are you’ve played at least one of the games they’ve worked on. Hicks is responsible for stylized platformer rComplex, Paul Veer previously worked on Super Crate Box and Laura Shigihara composed the music for PopCap’s Plants vs. Zombies. The three of them have collaborated to put together a retro-styled puzzle-platform adventure called Celestial Mechanica.
The game tells the story of a little robot trying to make his way home, and features Veer’s characteristic pixel-art visual style coupled with a soundtrack by Hicks featuring Shigihara’s haunting vocals. Its challenging Metroidvania-style gameplay is somewhat reminiscent of Terry Cavanagh’s VVVVVV and presents a brief but taxing adventure for players to explore.
For $ 5, it’s definitely worth a shot if you’re a fan of old-school platform gameplay — check it out at the official website.
