"8-Bit Investigation" Shirt Is Worth Investigating
Posted by Mark Wilson at 3:40 AM on April 9, 2008
"8-Bit Investigation" is among the more clever pixel art designs we've seen in some time. A tribute to Sierra's adventure games gone by, the shirt explores the aftermath of one character's graphic (pun definitely intended) fall from a building. From the splattered pixels on the pavement to the pixel puking in the background, it's another one of those almost obnoxiously cute designs that the Threadless community is known for. $US 20, but I wish it came in other colours than gray.

@Gray665: and it's so sad, I have so many hipster friends... it'll be a sad day when I lure them into the cargo hold of a freighter with some vintage shirts and exotic tea blends, and then send them into the Bermuda Triangle...

I enjoyed King's Quest more.
Me: push rock
Game: I don't understand "push"
Me: move rock
game: there is a hole
Me: Look in the hole
game: I don't understand "the"
Me: Look in hole
game: there is a knife in the hole
Me: pick up the knife
game: I don't understand "pick up"
Me: Get the *%&!$ knife, you are pissing me off
game: I don't understand "*%&!$" but you got the knife, don't hurt me! Just take it! We're cool right?
Me: Damn right bitch! Now where's that goat?

I loved the remake version of police quest 1 as well. I loved the sierra games, the world needs more point and click adventure!
on a side note: Where's Hotel Dusk 2?

Seriously. Hipsters are a scourge that needs to be cleansed from the earth permanently, and soon.

Wow, Threadless actually has a decent design for once? If they weren't such douches it would be awesome.

I think my favorite part of a Sierra game was the running gag of random barber shops in Leisure Suit Larry 2

Pixel barf FTW.
That'd be a good band name, actually...
If I wasn't so opposed to Threadless and its cooler-than-thou hipster design community, I might actually buy this...

Cool.
Makes me want to load up and plan Death Knights of Krynn!
That cop stringing the yellow tape is the spitting image of my F/MU.

@Spoony Bard: Don't forget:
So you want to be a Hero? (AKA Hero's Quest, which is my personal favorite of the Quest games.)
Gold Rush!
The Laura Bow games (Colonel's Bequest, The Dagger of Amon Ra)
And from other companies:
Sid Meier's Pirates!
(The Secret of) Monkey Island
I haven't given the AGI support in ScummVM a shot yet, does anyone know if it's any good?

I don't know what you guys are talking about. Hipsters haven't worn internet T-shirts since 2004.

@MisterSleep: LOL. Don't forget to use skinny girl jeans and fixed gear bikes as bait as well.

I was at the Threadless store to check out the Steak Mtn exhibit on Friday. While there I was looking at the new shirts and couldn't pass this one up.

@NateN: Oh of course I couldn't forget those.
Yeah I tried the remakes of King's Quest I-III in AGI. Amazing, really - labours of love each.
Don't forget Sam & Max (original), Day of the Tentacle - lots of others.

I saw this in the email they sent and it's the first time I've seen a shirt that I'd consider buying.
