A special addition to the main Byte Me feed every month, 8-Bit Bytes is a stroll down memory lane back to the time when the NES ruled and there was an arcade in every mall. Hans, Dylan and Cliff bring you the latest in retro news (it sounds like an oxymoron, but it’s 100% not!), a deep dive into a retro game or genre and a Q&A portion, answering the most pressing of retro questions!
