Late last year, the Gametank popped up online with the promise of offering a brand new 8-bit console experience. Rather than emulating one of the best retro consoles like the NES, this new system is basically a rival with its own '80s-inspired archetecture, and I'm thrilled to report it just met its crowdfunding goals.
That means that since the Gametank has tipped over its $30,000 Crowdsupply goal, we're officially getting a new 8-bit console in the big 26. That's pretty bananas given we're not talking about software emulation or even FPGA hardware replication like with the Analogue 3D or Commodore 64 Ultimate. This machine is its own platform entirely, and it could spark a new wave of games that feel old, but are entirely new.
