The 4-bit future: Signalnoise's Legacy 2600 print
And speaking of Bit.Trip: continue to check the twitter feed from artist (and BBG re-designer) James 'Signalnoise' White today for a contest that could net you an alternate version of his fantastic 'Legacy 2600' poster at right.
Originally designed in hopes that Atari would allow it as a semi-official tribute, the design is still unmistakably and gloriously 4-bit futurist even without the famous logo, but White's discovered a small run of early test prints with Atari's name intact, which is what's up for grabs today.
Even if you don't make it through the contest, the now revised print can be ordered via White's store, alongside other sexy retro-tech tributes.
Signalnoise Retweet contest today! [James White]

The Atari 2600 is 8-bit. What do you mean by 4-bit?
Er, also that link at the end is wrong...

Please don't encourage this one trick pony to keep crapping out rainbows for the rest of his life. It was a cute gimmick, but it's tired and worn these days.
If I see one more James White rainbow, I'll hop on the train to Halifax and punch out his teeth myself.

4-bit because of all the clueless nitwits calling Super-Nintendo era graphics 8-bit, presumably.

You can represent a rainbow with 3 bits, one for R,G and B, so it's not that either.
