Retro arcade nostalgia gets a reboot. Play three new arcade games that reimagine the pixelated pleasures of gaming’s early days. Created by Australian developers Craig Duturbure , Brie Healy and Ratmouse Games , each playful game draws on the aesthetics, mechanics and limitations of an 8-bit universe to explore how technology shapes the way we play and see the world. Dodge virus-infected pop-ups, fire Cupid’s arrows to make strangers fall in love and explore miniature puzzle worlds. Commissioned by ACMI in partnership with Now or Never to celebrate Feng Mengbo: Long March Restart .
