About

Fabulous 8bit is a label dedicated to creating high-quality homebrew games for the MSX retro computer system. Since 2020, we have found beauty in the constraints of the system and pushing the limits of the hardware with every release. The label was founded by Pål Frogner Hansen, a Z80 enthusiast and former game developer who acts as the main driver. Fabulous 8bit's titles feature contributions from others in the scene, including Wolf on music and Julie Trevland on cover art.
