    My experience has been that 8-bit on the consoles in the 1980s is very different from 8-bit in most indie games right now.

    The art direction in old games felt more polished and easier to look at.

      Yeah. I have a similar experience. Those developers were working pretty hard within the constraints of the mediums they were working with and they made some truly amazing stuff as a result. I feel like 8bit is an attempt at nostalgia in new games and it doesn’t land for me. I know I’m probably in the minority. That’s okay though.
