And we close the retro round with another 6502 related topic, but this time it's about artwork.

Thinking back to the intro screens of some C64 gems of the 80s, I wish projects like this one had existed back then. But who had 64-bit operating systems, Photoshop and other tooling at that time? 🤷‍♂️

Anyway, Michel de Bree has built the "extended arm" for such an artwork setup and is reaching out towards the C64 with it. We’re talking about a project (surely known to some) called Retropixels.

This nice, little piece of software converts modern image formats to the color space of the Commodore 64. Dithering included. If you don't want to install it locally, you can also use it directly with the web version and give your own artwork the very own charm of the lovely C64 color palette.

Happy Pixeling!
