The 8-bit revival scene is really cool .. some nice new titles for old, forgotten machines are being produced these days, and its really a blast to be receiving such gifts. For those of us who suffered the ignobility of having invested in the wrong 8-bit box, seeing new software being produced for the thing is, quite simply, a humbling experience. In my case, its all about the Oric-1/Atmos machines - which had their chance, but faded fast. And yet now they are getting amazing stuff released for them: http://www.oric.org/index.php?page=software&fille=top150gamesoverall http://www.oric.org/index.php?page=software&fille=top150game... Of the top-10 games in this list, 5 of them are brand new, produced in the last year or so. (Space 1999, Pulsoids, Impossible Mission, 1337, Skool Daze) Simply a great time to still have the old boxes stuffed away and discover they not only still work - but f'in kick ass beyond what anyone thought they would, 30 years ago!
