Show-case: every imaginary 8-bit Famicase game ever designed

famicasechronicle.jpg

Continuing my coverage of Tokyo hipster retro/game store Meteor's Famicase art exhibit, in which designers and artists create label artwork for their best 8-bit NES games never made, the store has just put together Famicase Chronicle, an interactive Flash piece that showcases all 140 artists and 216 cases from all of the past years of Meteor's exhibit.

It's a slow load to bring in thumbnails of all 200+ cases, and a relatively fiddly piece to navigate: my suggestion is to scroll down to the tiny 'Auto View' text button at bottom, sit back and enjoy the show, with its corrupted-ambient 8-bit soundtrack provided by Polytron's Jason '6955' DeGroot.

Also noteworthy: next to the Auto View button is a link called Video Report, which will load an episode of Points -- DeGroot's short-lived (but very Offworld-ian) video series dedicated to art/game culture -- that covered a previous Famicase exhibit live.
