20+ 8-Bit Inspirations – Web Design, Graphic Design, Gadgets and Items Inspired by Retro 8-Bit Graphics

If you are like me, then you grew up in an era full of retro things like Blocky Cell Phones, Blocky Graphics, and Rubik’s Cube. The world was a very different place back then. But Even though we have smooth graphics and amazing resolution images these days, Its still nice to look back on the good old 80’s 8-bit graphics for inspiration.

So here is a collection of stuff that uses 8-bit for inspiration! Enjoy!

    Cool and funny post. It reminds me of my SNes and Famicom days when 8-bit is still the echelon of gaming technological advancement. This gives me ideas of a project at hand. Thanks!
