Introduction to my site | ||
|
|
Welcome to 8bitplus I decided to create this page as a way of showing off some of my projects as well as my ever growing collection of video game hardware and software. So Why 8Bitplus? Well, because that’s my main area of interest. My collection mainly consists of consoles and games from the late 80’s to the present day. I would never deny that there were some great games before the NES and Mastersystem, but they never caught my attention the way that later games do.
My site has been up for over a year now and has had over 5500 unique visits. I still have plenty more projects and articles for 2009. Thanks for visiting.
