The upcoming indie game Chasm is 384 x 216 (Widescreen) - Scales to 1080p at 5x.
While I like 8-bit themed video games (Terraria, Legend of Dungeon, Risk of Rain, Starbound, etc) I think this shirt lacks the punch needed to deliver that message. ^_^;
Hah! I love it. Except that by acknowledging that I grew up playing with 8-bit low resolution “retro before retro existed” games only makes me feel old.
These young whipper snappers and their big 4 digit screen resolution numbers and fancy graphics. Why back in my day…
PFFT! You kids and your high tech 8-bit at 256x240 resolution with multiple button controllers. Give me 8-bit at 192x160 with a single button on my controller and I’m set. Next you’re gonna tell me you want more than 128 colors and a… just a moment…
Back in my day, when we walked to school up hill both ways, and pluto was still a planet, and megahertz were fast enough, we didn’t have none of this fancy schmancy 720p liquid crystal diiis-plays. We had our CRT, and we were thankful we even got that. Kids these days.
While I’d be curious to see what this concept could have been with a Mega Man or Super Mario 3 theme, it’s super appropriate how simple it is. The old-school PC look really bridges the demographics nicely. Well done!
