NES Styled 8Bit Left 4 Dead

NES Style Left 4 Dead

How you would like blasting 8-bit zombies in the face? You’d like that very much wouldn’t you Mr. Crazed Lunatic. And thanks to Eric Ruth Games you can. Pixel Force: Left 4 Dead is a retro-fied version of Left 4 Dead made to play like a good-ol NES game. From the glitchy NES graphics to the terrific 4 channels of sound music tracks, the game oozes 8-bit charm. It is a bit difficult to play with your keyboard, but if you have a XBOX 360 controller, connect it and have fun.

8bit Music Video: Dot Matrix Revolution by the SUPERBROTHERS

SUPERBROTHERS Dot Matrix Revolution

The SUPERBROTHERS have created a series of music videos with animations similar to what you’d find on a Commodore 64. In an interview with 8bit today Craig D. Adam, the founder of SUPERBROTHERS, mentioned that originally his intent was not design in pixel art, but when he “began exploring several methods of image-making … it had occurred to me that ‘audiovisually sophisticated’ did not necessarily require ‘technologically more complex’, and I could envision a style of retro pixel art that could be both startlingly fresh AND be relatively economical to deploy.”
