43 Comments

We stop in with iello and talk about one game which is a fantastic look back at retro video gaming. 8BitBox is a fantastic set of four different games which allows you to see if you’re any better with your cardboard and chits than you were with a joystick.

Win A Copy Of 8BitBox

It’s time to stop in with Robin and learn more about the game so you get to see what it’s like ahead of winning yourself a copy!

This game is touching something deep inside my 6 to 8 year old soul.

laughingboy

Pac-Man, F-Zero and Track & Field this is a great thing to take on the road, camping etc. I like it and who does not love retro.

bigbadbazz

Nice idea… Like the idea of making retro console into board games

tchrin

This looks amazing, I need this in my life. Such a good idea.

ralag

such a cool idea. looks like fun! 🙂

starlighter

This I must have! Hope it comes to my gameshop soon!

lukusbiriyani

i just wonder if this is more gimmick than game. still it looks fun though

killjaden3

Love the retro pixel aesthetic.

storminwolf

This looks fun 🙂

darkdanegan

That’s really cool. Each game needs to be simple, and they are, and they really evoke the feeling of retro games. Love it! The controller idea is genius.

greywolf74

I grew up with games like these.

ironside

Really good looking product! Love the 8 bit theme.

bacl to the good old days

Very retro, love the look of this

trane13

hah creative name!

I like that they combine four mini games into one package, and the retro game concept. However, I don’t know if a video gamer would simply prefer to play a video game rather than a board game pretending to be one.

paulvr

this looks like a funny game

jax78

That’s definitely scratching my Retro itch.

lawnor

I love the design and I am curious, but I can’t help but think that all it has is style and will lack gameplay fun and replay value.

ahren78

Very cool idea

bennu

I didn’t recognise any of those games either…

alimyles

I need to get my (very) old NES out of the cupboard!

ghastly13

Cute game. Visually stunning

aramaki

Reminds me of my childhood and the countless hours spent playing games on Commodore 64. Ah fun times.

ugleb

Cool idea to pack in a bunch of mini games

rabr

Looks good.

marktarver

Love the retro vibe

spikeyfreakstu

I am always hooked when I see games of all kinds givin the 8-bit look, it just makes it feel more special and nostalgic. I would love this to add to my collection.

jamiej

iello have a really nice style to their games

severon

Unfortunatelly, I have heard only bad from people testing it: nice components – but no game(s).

shadykx125

wowow this looks really cool

babone

This I really need to play! Brings back my childhood!

katana100

8 and 16 bit era has some of the best games ever made in it

redbread25

What a cool game

senjimakoto

Video game inspired visuals like these are a welcomed addition to the table top.
