design24seven: The other side of Jon

This Blog will be a selection of things I like, things that are going through my head (they've gotta go somewhere!) and things that inspire me and... things?!? It may end up pointless, it might come in handy or it could end up entertaining, I couldn't tell you?

Mr.Gonaka- The retro gaming Genius


I was having a look through a friends website yesterday and came across his edit of the fantastic Super Mario Bros game in which he has added a little pixelated Jimmy (thats him... well, his name is Jamie, but I like Jimmy, hes at the top there, look). Although I was looking for something specific and ended up watching a mini pixelated version of my friend defeat my childhood hero, Mario, and slide down a pixelated pole, I thought it was a really cool concept. Go check it out:

And... if you want to have a brief trip through Jimmys head, he has a game demo he made about the Evolution of Digitality were you are... Jimmy, defeating multiple enemies through the different ages of gaming starting from the days when computer tennis was 2 lines and a dot... how times have changed, makes me feel old! So go have a game, bit of provrastination is good for the soul :)
