Pixelated ≠ 8-bit

shhh, don't ruin the fun of stupid tweens who never grew up on 8-bit systems or ever took a computer/electrical engineering course

/though some of that was cool
//why the hell do we always have to deal art with Mario when it's "8-bit"

Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Look at the score--he's already halfway to 420.

Sure, but most of it was related to Super Mario Bros., which is in fact 8-bit.

8 bit mario room is absolutely amazing. would so do that for my kids.

Came to say this. 8 bit color depth = 256 colors. 2D sprite based games at fairly low resolutions went along with it in the same time frame.

Is that a Minecraft tie-in?

The Old Spice Dikembe Mutombo game was surprisingly fun.

What do you get when you combine a classic video game format, an all-star basketball player, and a mission to save the world from the Mayan Apocalypse? The you'll play this holiday season.

Buh?

8-Bit Fashion
Designed by ANREALAGE.

ANALRAGE also describes the reaction of everybody pointing out that the 8-bit aesthetic involves more than just putting squares all over something.

harlock: 256

I use to write alot of games back when and yeah, 256 colors == 8-bits. I was the lousy screen resolution and CPU/GPU capabilities that required pixelated graphics. It's tough to do anything with a 16x16 sprite

Carn		2012-12-05 01:55:17 PM

Here's the Northwestern University fight song in 8 bit.

It's one of my new favorite things.

/Go U!

harlock: 8 bit color depth = 256 colors. 2D sprite based games at fairly low resolutions went along with it in the same time frame.

It was rare for gaming systems with 8-bit CPUs to support more than about 32 colors at once, at least at resolutions suitable for games.

RAM was too expensive in the late 1970s and and early 1980s to use more than 4 bits per pixel in the framebuffer.

Salmon		2012-12-05 02:01:10 PM

wow.

Google 8 bit porn; there's more than I was expecting.

dkimball: I use to write alot of games back when and yeah, 256 colors == 8-bits.

There's a big difference between an 8-bit color depth and an 8-bit system. Examples of the latter include the C64 and Apple II, where you would be lucky to have 16 colors. Everything was pixelated, but the NTSC composite video was fuzzy enough that you didn't really notice it. And that's the way we liked it!

Protip: All computer graphics are pixelated.
