Sometime around Super Nintendo’s Golden Eye: 007, many video game aficionados made the tough call to put down the controller for good or else succumb to a severe stroke. The graphics were becoming too amazing. The reality, too real. So much was happening on screen that players forgot to blink and would suffer acute cases of vertigo.
Gamers yearning for the graphics and medical peace of mind of yesteryear need look no further than the 8-Bit Imagination T-Shirt. In this tee, video gaming’s original tank, the 8-bit red thingy from Atari’s Combat cartridge imagines himself as a 3D Abrams tank. Old 8-Bit can’t be anything more than 25 pixels of pea-shooting power, but damn it, that’s why we love him. Still, we can’t fault Lil’ Tank for dreaming big. It’s not like many of us are entirely satisfied with our station in life, either. Also, being two-dimensional is probably a pretty big drag, what with having no depth and all.
Will 8-Bit ever achieve his dream of being a 70 ton tank? Probably not, but that doesn’t mean he should stop dreaming. Because like Thomas Jefferson once said, “Tanks can be whatever they want.” Or something.
