These are some of the most amazing artworks i have ever seen and they are all inspired by 8 bit video games & characters. Very inspiring stuff !
I know a lot of people have been waiting to see the all of the amazing 80’s video game inspired artwork from the 2007 “I Am 8-Bit” show at Gallery 1988. Well, for those of you who didn’t get to attend the opening reception here in Los Angeles, you’re in luck. We took over a hundred photos of the show so you can check out most of the classic game creations that were on display.
Here are some of my Favourites:

Footage of the early 80s remake of the doctor who theme song for the show of the same name by Peter Howell. Get a great behind-the-scenes view of how it was made and close glimpse at the equipment used (this is a portion of the Music Arcade - Radiophonic Workshop special)

The further we progress scientifically the more we reveal about the past :
Experts are “lost for words” to have found that a medieval prayer book has yielded yet another key ancient text buried within its parchment.
Works by mathematician Archimedes and the politician Hyperides had already been found buried within the book, known as the Archimedes Palimpsest.
But now advanced imaging technology has revealed a third text - a commentary on the philosopher Aristotle.

This game is an absolute classic .
From Wikipedia :
Q*bert is a 1982 arcade game from Gottlieb, created by Warren Davis and Jeff Lee. It features a main character of the same name. Q*bert was one of the most famous faces of the Golden age of arcade games and also one of the most bizarre. It is well known for its playability, humor, and non-violent nature. The character is a furry orange orb with two eyes, two feet and one long snout.

Ive long been an admirer of the James Randi Educational Foundation (JREF), tireless advocates for critical thinking, skepticism, and the scientific method. They offer a one million dollar prize to the first person who can provide convincing, testable proof of supernatural powers. The foundation recently set up a “remote viewing” challenge in which the purported psychic is asked to describe the contents of a special sealed box held at the JREF office in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Those who know me may be surprised to read this, but I’m pleased to announce that Jutta Degener and I have successfully visualized the contents of Randi’s challenge box. We accomplished this from over a thousand miles away and entirely through mental concentration and the application of our unique talents (or, I should say, gifts), and without any physical access or inside information. We can now reveal to the world the item in the box: a small mirrored flat circular wheel or disk, such as a DVD or CD. Randi, if you’re reading this, a money order or certified check will be fine.
