375 NES Illustrations By Campbell Whyte!

Campbell Whyte's fantastic daily 8-Bit Dreams illustration series has hit the one year mark. In one year he illustrated the first 375 Nintendo games (there were 799 total) in tiny, wonderful detail. And to celebrate, he took a much needed break, but also compiled this video of every single piece of artwork from the series so far.

Check out this video for 4 minutes of awesome retro gaming goodness.

This Week's 8 Bit Dreams Illustrations - A Boy And His Blob, Cabal and more!

Campbell Whyte's 8 Bit Dreams series is going strong (daily NES illustrations revealed alphabetically by year of release) and it's just hitting 1990. Even in just the first few letters of the alphabet, there were some solid titles.

What I love so much about this series is that it's providing an all new way to discover old games. There are some REALLY awesome illustrations for games that I've never played, and some I've never even heard of. Seeing the illustrations makes me want to play the game, and when researching the game it makes me want to buy the illustrations. It's a terribly awesome circle of events.
