This fully funded Kickstarter project will commercialize the “Gameduino” — an Arduino shield optimized for creating old-school, 8-bit video-games, pre-loaded with numerous sprites and set up for easy connection to a VGA display. The project’s leads say their mission is to bring the glory of 8-bit gaming to the deprived youth of today who have to get by with 32-bit consoles and multi-million-player MMOs.
