Retro 8bit Angry Birds
Everyone knows and loves the the highly addictive mobile game ‘Angry Birds’ by Rovio Mobile Ltd. We have dug up some really cool pics of what Angry Birds would look like as a 90′s style 8bit retro game (designed by Penney Design).
As a physics-based game, Angry Birds is similar to those well worn ’90s games Worms and Lemmings, and lends itself well to a retro reimaging with blocky pixels.
