Legacy News #2129
Hoy! Long time, no updates ! There are two in the current batch:
The House of Games adds Overdrive, a game that looks like Micro Machines with an introductory screen that looks like something from a Team17 game. Driving games are always entertaining.
El Sótano Abandonado are on a Commander Keen spree, meaning they've added Commander Keen 1-4 the last week or so, and I'm guessing they're not going to stop there. Keep yourselves updated and save the world from the Vorticons!
Edit:
More updates are in! Here are the break-down:
Smush the Cat added the final and last game ever released by Apogee; namely Stargunner - a side-scrolling shoot 'em up where you blast everything that isn't you.
We at The DOS Spirit added Pinball Dreams, the original grandfather to all pinball games on the Amiga. The DOS version kinda sucks in comparison, but you can always find out if you have balls of steel or are going to flip out.
Starinky, (previously Gobliiins Old Games), added a game I've never heard of or seen before: Cash Invaders! Well, you kind of guessed it; it's a space invader type of game where you have to collect money for upgrades. Sounds interesting...
In other news, there are many that enjoy making more physical things based on old games, like stiching or pattern making with pearls. I quite like this one, the Half-Life in 8bit, made by someone called "Arcade Art":
Of course, why stop there. How about Resident Evil 4 in 8 bits? Here you go!

Some other guy at the website Shampooteacher has a love for the Mario universe, and this is one of his works:
Shampoo has made alot of other "physical realities" out of old games, like this startup screen from Super Mario Bros. 3:
or for something completely different, all the Mortal Combat characters, Mega Man style:
More awes and impressiveness over at his Flickr page
Arcade Art's work is actually for sale, and can be drooled upon @ his webshop
Until next time,
stay retro
