The reality of early gaming and the kind of graphical approach that brings nostalgia of gamers nowadays, pixel art is evolving to be an art form of its own even in times when more and more realistic games are possible. Maybe reality isn’t so appealing after all, and seeing the grainy pixelated form of artificial life is often more touching than the real world detail.

Surprised that Organ Trail and none of the Kairosoft games made the cut. At least Game Dev Story, come on!
