“16 Bit Memories” by Toni Bratincevic / and A Look Back On the Glory Days

Visual Arts , Writing

While scouring the net in my daily cool-search, I occasionally come across some really impressive “artistry”. As artists start to gear more towards the digital canvas, art as we know it is becoming more and more “expansive” and the quality of work more unbelievable. This piece in particular caught my eye in how it illustrates what life was like when games were in 16-bit format and life was so simple. Oh, to be a child again!

When I saw the piece by Toni Bratincevic it brought back memories of my old room; the Legos, the board games, the posters, Encyclopedia Brown, and the Windows 98 salvage computer that my brother and I had the pleasure of owning. It was world where the internet was a fixture of our imaginations and a pleasure that only rich kids had, but we had Commander Keen, Jazz the Jackrabbit, Duke Nukem, SimCity, and our wild imaginations that took what we read in books and saw in games right off of the screen. Now look at us… Toni Bratincevic knows what I mean.
