Contra-clones, mock Mega Mans, duplicate Donkey Kongs... it seems like everyone is making retro-inspired games nowadays. Some get it right, some get it very very wrong. This panel by Retroware (Iron Meat, Toxic Crusaders) and Programancer (Prison City, TASQ) goes over the hits, the duds, their references, and how we make our OWN modern-retro indies. OH, and you'll also learn (dramatically) why a modern pixel game CAN'T fit on an NES cartridge!

Panelists: Justin Silverman [@JustySilverman on Twitter], Travis Adamczyk [https://programancer.itch.io/], Ryan Schott [@schottr on Twitter]
