Inside Pixel Ripped 1978
What it is
The golden age of ATARI is back! And now you can live in it!
Pixel Ripped 1978 is a love letter to everything ATARI. In this totally interactable environment in VR, players are caught in the eye of the hurricane in a whacky time-traveling adventure where they are one of the main programmers at ATARI and have to get INSIDE the gaming world to prevent history from being rewritten by a pesky super-villain!
Grab your favorite headset and get ready for some good ol'nostalgia wackiness!
The premise
Dot must join forces with "Bug," the quirky visionary who developed the original Pixel Ripped series. Help Dot maneuver through multidimensional challenges to protect Bug's childhood memories from the evil Cyblin Lord, a villain able to break through the screen and invade the real world. In the game. The setting? The intense burst of creativity that vibrated through the San Jose suburbs in the late 70s and early 80s. Feel the mighty effects of how the Pixel Stone alters reality itself!
