Creative Artist Re-Creates Classic NES Video Game Scenes, and It Hits You Right in the Euphoric Nostalgia
Ignore the slight chance you might feel old; these re-creations are seriously epic.
Gen X'ers and Millennials are about to wet their lips with eager anticipation because it's not every day that a walk down happy memory lane is so satisfying. Today, it is most definitely satisfying! The Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) is an 8-bit, third-generation home video game console produced by Nintendo, and it made its debut in America in October of 1985.
The NES had an available color palette of 48 colors and 6 grays, and by today's mind-blowing artistic standards, that's... well, that's nothing! Dr. Brené Brown, a renowned researcher on vulnerability and connection, asserts, "Nostalgia is a way to connect with our past and can provide comfort in times of uncertainty." Inspired by this sentiment, several artists have taken it upon themselves to reimagine classic 8-bit scenes from the '80s, breathing new life into iconic visuals that any NES fanatic would recognize.
