What makes 8 bit games so popular?
There are many reasons why 8-bit games are popular. For some, 8 bit games provide nostalgia value – that is, they deliver pleasant memories of a simpler time, long gone (often of one’s childhood). When I think of 8 bit games, I think of growing up as a carefree kid in the 80’s, initially with games like Pac Man, Galaga and Dig Dug, and later, with slightly more complex 8 bit games like Ghosts 'n Goblins, Double Dragon and Contra. I think of riding my BMX bike to play 8 bit games at the local fish n’ chip shop or corner store I think of Christmas time and playing 8 bit games on a Commodore 64 personal computer (kindly delivered by Santa Claus, of course). When I think of 8 bit games, I also think of the movies, music and all the other pop culture traits synonymous with the 1980’s (watch a few episodes of Stranger Things and you’ll get the idea). #What makes 8 bit games so popular?
