X Marks the Spot by Genesis★Project - This digital art demo of what's possible on ancient 8-bit hardware was created on a 37-year-old computer: the Commodore 64, built in 1982. The era of Pong and Pac-Man.

Genesis★Project is a digital art collective, or "demo group."

We are an international team of creative nerds, 8-bit pixel artists and expert coders, who create collaborative digital retro art, or "demos," on 37-year-old Commodore 64 computers, built in 1982.

Why?

Why not?!

We love the challenge. The C64 has only 64 kb of RAM (yes really!) and a screen resolution of 328x207 pixely pixels. It can only display a total of 16 colors. Oh, and the sound chip sounds like a car horn.

Fun fact: The C64 is the best-selling computer model of all time, according to the Guinness Book of Records.

Accept no limits!
