On AWS REWIND, Friday, February 9th, at 3:00pm EDT, AWS’s Principal Evangelist for Video Games, Chris Melissinos, is explores the PICO-8 Fantasy Console.

PICO-8 is a full development environment, including editors for sound, music, sprites, and more. Each PICO-8 game, saved as the image of a cartridge, can be shared online and playable on Windows, Linux, Mac, or even in a web browser.

While not TECHNICALLY retro games, the dev environment caps the cartridge size at 32k, making this comparable to early game consoles. And the variation and creativity of developers using the platform is AMAZING!

So, join Chris as he explores the features of the PICO-8 and plays through some of his favorite games!
