On April 19th through May 20th, the iam8-bit exhibit will be present the talents of over 100 of the world's top artists who have put their fond gaming memories to paper, canvas, wood, or somewhere in between. So if you ever wanted to analyze the crazed image of a Burger Time sausage gone ballistic or Space Invader doing disco, this is the art gallery to attend." -
Retro Gaming Gets Hot
An anonymous reader writes "Apparently, retro gaming is big business, according to a recent article in The Rocky Mountain News. The story talks to Nintendo, Namco and the maker of those all in one controllers that feature games from old systems like Atari. Lin Leng, who's working on the latest Pac-Man game, summarizes it best: 'The games today are hyper-realistic, photo-realistic and take a long time to complete, an average of 20 hours of gameplay,' he said. 'But with Pac-Man you just jump in and play and you get a quick fix. It also brings back childhood memories for some of us.' There's also an interesting sidebar to the story talking about Invader, the Parisian graffiti artist tagging famous locations around the world with images from Space Invaders. The author's website has the full interview with Invader posted in his weblog."
