For those that are reading this and feel that the original Xbox is an antique, then you may not realize that before your day there were games so simplistic that they were in bits. 8 bit for its time was a light year leap in terms of graphics and gameplay and if you’re sitting there thinking “what’s a bit?” then you may be surprised to learn that back in the 80’s not only were there big hair bands and power ballads, but also quality games that provided hours of enjoyment through the most simplistic designs and developments. Amidst all the latest technology that goes into making these modern day blockbuster games, Yacht Club Games takes us back in time to when games only had to focus on being fun to play with their release of Shovel Knight. Can this retro blast from the past hold its weight against these multi-million dollar behemoth sized games?
