Here are a few different planets with their colour palette variations in 8-Bit Space 2. Built for the NES, but heavily influenced by classic 8-bit microcomputer exploration games! ​Kickstarter is now live: kickstarter.com/projects/8bits… #ZXSpectrum #Microcomputers #BritishGaming #Homebrew #NES

Digital is great, but physical media just hits differently, nothing replaces having a real cartridge in your hands. Good news! there are still a few physical copies of SkateCat available for NES (& Famicom) fans 🛹🐱 usa.homebrew-factory.com/nes/134-skat... #NES #homebrew #nesdev #indiegames #ファミコン
