Tokyo is a hyperreal city in a country with a very unique culture. An eye-popping urban landscape filled with pachinko parlours, video arcades, neon lights, shrines, and 12,369,000 souls.

Gama Bros. and Other PixelJam Stuff
Saturday January 24th, 2009 | Posted in Interactive | No Comments
I was beside myself with joy today when I stumbled across the PixelJam site. They make games that are ‘neo-retro’. A term that well describes their aesthetic sensibilities. The game I played just now was Gama Bros. and it’s superb! The sound FX and background music are especially 8-bit and some of the ideas they’ve put into the games are so good. They have other games on there, and also one of the guys from PixelJam had the idea of photographing the results of incorrectly inserting Atari 2600 cartridges and posted them to a microsite called sub2600.
