(I originally wrote this blog post in 2015 for the old version of this site and copied it over here. Because of this, the links in the article may have changed, or some of the information here may no longer be true.)
8bitkick is a deck of 42 printed cards featuring photos of retro computers (and also a Raspberry Pi that got thrown into the mix because it’s cute). In order to create the product a Kickstarter campaign started with a funding goal of $750.
The campaign ended a few hours ago. The amount raised? $12,233. About 16 times the amount needed. Looks like there are a few of us (retro computer enthusiasts) out there.
Oh, I forgot to mention: one of the cards features the Ferrari of 8-bit computers: a red Sony HB-101:
You may have seen this photo somewhere before. 🙂
All cards will be freely available for download after they’ve been produced.
