The 8-bit era of videogames spawned many of gaming's greatest
icons, like Mario, Link and Sonic. On this episode of Retro Gaming
Podcast Passion for Pixels, we talk about why the simplicity of
8-bit graphics is still so dear to gamers, and why many think it
has aged better than the more advanced pixel count of 16-bit
graphics.
We also get into how the graphical limitations of the time
forced game developers to think in creative ways that has since
become obsolete, due to hardware improvements.
We discuss what we consider the best looking games of the era
that was dominated by the Nintendo NES, the Atari 7800 and the Sega
Master System, and get into smoothly animated ninjas, adventurous
ducks, talking frogs and more!
