Even though we have arrived at an era where game Beautiful graphics with addictive gameplay can be found around every corner, the charm of old games remains irreplaceable. For gamer veterans, pixelated graphics and 8-bit music have their own charm and are the reason why so many consumers are hunting for the NES Classic Edition and loving it. retrogaming.

High interest gamer against the game Retro Responded by producers hardware and developer swiftly. Nowadays it's not hard to find indie games popular 'old school' styles, such as Terraria, Stardew Valley, Hotline Miami, to Into the Breach. Hi-Bit Studios Stockholm team is also very interested in working on stylish games Retro, but they take advantage of a very unusual design directive.

Tim developer from Stockholm introduced the 198X, namely game that promises one experience retrogaming complete. There, Hi-Bit Studios tries to serve five arcade games with gender different: beat 'em up, shoot 'em up, race, side scrolling actionand role playing. All of that is packaged in a story that you may have experienced.

As the title suggests, the 198X is set in the 80s. This game tells the story of a teenager named Kid. He lives in the suburbs, his life is monotonous, until one day Kid discovers a new world through video games in the arena arcade. And there developer affix twist interesting.

through every game played, new moves learned, and enemies defeated, the protagonist becomes stronger and the boundaries between reality and video games become increasingly blurred. Fifth arcade games 198X is inspired by classic themes. I saw the Streets of Rage thrill in beat 'em up, R-Types in shoot 'em up, Out Run in the game racing, Shinobi in 'ninja games', as well as Phantasy Star in the JRPG.

The 198X development project started in spring 2017. Its current status is still in the works, built using engine Unity. Hi-Bit Studios plans to release 198X in March 2019 in four gaming platforms popular - namely PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.

The developer is also currently holding a fundraising campaign at Kickstarter. They need a capital of US $ 56 thousand for the process game running smoothly.

I can probably imagine the way Hi-Bit Studios presents all five 'games' in 198X, but I'm very curious as to how developer bringing all of that together into a single theme and narrative.
