Join Pixel as he quests through gaming history, teleporting across the most iconic video game systems of generations past. He’ll have to jump, dodge and play smart if he wants to survive all the traps, puzzles and enemies waiting to take him down at every turn. Move, think, jump or die is the motto Pixel must live by if he wants to unlock the next console on his historic journey.
Enter into a living, playable museum of video game history: A museum that spans across three decades, featuring 19 historically inspired consoles and over 100 levels to conquer. A museum of sharp things, meanies and free falls - in which you will die. A lot. And the fun’s just getting started.
Whether you’re nostalgic for these classic consoles or it’s your first time experiencing them, now it’s your turn to make gaming history!

콘솔의 역사를 컨셉으로 한 액션 플래포머 게임. Evoland쪽이 과거에 이름날렸던 게임들의 그래픽의 변천사에 초점을 맞췄다면, 이 쪽은 아예 콘솔의 변천사에 좀 더 초점을 맞춘듯한 게임이다. 90년대 초반까지 굵직한 명성을 남겼던 게임기들이 등장하며 해당 콘솔의 그래픽이나 조작감 등을 적극 반영한 스테이지들이 상당히 인상적이다. 해당 콘솔의 분위기가 상당히 잘 반영되어있다. 더불어 16비트 콘솔 스테이지의 경우 익숙한 게임들을 패러디해놓은 장면들이 많아 알고 보면 재미있을 부분들도 많다. 한국 게이머들이 상대적으로 콘솔에 대한 지식이 일천하리란 것을 감안하더라도, 패미컴/슈퍼패미컴, 메가드라이브 계열로 넘어오면 굉장히 익숙한 듯한 광경을 볼 수 있을 것이다. (그보다 요즈음 친구들 중에 패미컴이니 메가드라이브니 하는 걸 알만한 사람들이 몇이나 되겠냐마는) 난이도가 조금 있는 편이긴 하지만 아주 못 깰 정도는 아니다. 조금만 근성을 갖고 임한다면 모두 충분히 깰 수 있을 정도. 다만, 게임의 그래픽만 재현해낸 것이 아니라 그 시절의 부조리한 시스템들 같은 것도 깨알같이 잘 구현해낸 점 때문에 게임이 더욱 힘들어질 수 있다. (예를 들자면, 적 몬스터가 제자리에서 빙빙 돈다거나, 멀거니 멍때리고 있다던가, 이상하리만치 불규칙적인 움직임을 보인다던가.) 하트가 두 칸 있긴 한데......... 어차피 가시에 찔리거나 낙사하거나 하면 한 번에 사망하는건 똑같아서 사실 큰 의미는 없다. 특히 이 게임이 적들한테 부딪혀서 죽는 상황보다 가시에 찔려 죽게 되는 상황이 훨씬 많다는 점을 감안한다면 더더욱 그렇다. 그냥 실수 한 번 봐준다 정도로 생각하는 게 편하다. 더불어 한 번 플레이에 죽지 않고 모든 다이아몬드와 젬, 과일을 전부 획득해야 하는 하드코어성 플레이가 존재한다. 이를 위한 도전과제도 따로 존재하니 근성이 충만한 이들이라면 도전해볼 법 하다. 조금이라도 자신 없다면 절대 옵션에서 하드코어 관련 메뉴는 건드리지 않는 것을 권장한다. [옛날 콘솔 게임기들에 대해 공부하고 싶은데 지식이 너무 일천해서 뭐부터 봐야할지 잘 모르겠다.] 하는 이들에게 적극 추천하는 게임. 굵직굵직한 콘솔들을 직접 체험해 볼 수 있는 아주 훌륭한 데모라 할 수 있겠다. P.S! MSX가 없던 게 개인적으로 아쉬웠다.
