Today, I am checking out Life of Pixel. Life of Pixel is absolutely WONDERFUL! The game is actually the story of one small pixel that learns its roots by traveling through different gaming consoles. Systems like Atari 2600, Amiga, even the NES are able to be played.
Think of an emulator but one stop shop.
A really cool element is the gameplay is original while still showing off some of the key points from each system.
My favorite part of Life of Pixel is teh description of each console. I love learning the different facts about the systems, like where they were made, the processors, what the games ran on and more.
It is available on Steam here: http://store.steampowered.com/app/327260/
