Mario, Mega Man, Pac-Man, and Sonic are just as iconic as The Beatles to our generation. They are our childhood heroes, our babysitters, our most awesome fantasies, and it’s amazing to see how wildly and diversely artists choose to interpret them, because every experience is a personal one.
– Jon M. Gibson, i am 8-bit founder and curator
