Winning entry, with a score of:
58.6%
Contest goal:

Games nowadays are way too realistic to be very creative. Remeber the 80's when the games only had 8 bits? The NES console, Super Mario and Zelda. And how popular and loved they were! For the sake of the old times, in this contest your goal is to recreate the feel of those games, illustrated in a photo, a drawing or a 3D image. So instead of a high resolution picture try do it in 8-bit.


Status: finished. Check out the winners below!

DML: Good idea ( 5 years and 3166 days ago )
iamlukas: so... should the style be 8-bit or is the theme just 8-bit games? ( 5 years and 3165 days ago )
chromathoughts: this needs more explanation , i agree with iamlukas ( 5 years and 3165 days ago )
erikuri: The rule says: "your goal is to recreate the feel of those games"; so I think it can be both, a game or the style. ( 5 years and 3162 days ago )
