handheld console compresses super mario brothers down to 64 pixels

doot doo doot doo doo doot! hacker retrobrad created a handheld console that displays super mario brother in a very special way: each sprite is reduced to one pixel. the console, called super pixel brothers, includes all 20 levels as well boss fights.the game is played on an 88 mutli-colored led board and to hit enemies you need to position your single-pixel mario over their single-pixel heads.
he’s including the full how-to and schematics on his site and he’s thinking about selling the actual pcbs so you and your plumber brother, luigi, can recreate your adventures in a decidedly low-bandwidth fashion.the kit also allows you to build your own 1-pixel version of smb using a converter, a trick that many of us will probably want to emulate in our copious free time.via retrothing
