Retro Commercial: Welcome To Lego In 1960
It's 2011 and Lego has never been more popular. The only bad thing about it is that it's still really expensive if you want the cool stuff. Just imagine that Lego has been around since 1949 when Danish businessman Godtfred Kirk Christiansen developed it. It's one of those ideas that would come to ch ...
Evolution Of Nintendo Characters
Ahh... Here I am, in the land of Nintendo. It's a little strange since we usually leave it up to Richard to cover all the Nintendo goodness on Bit Rebels since he is so good at it, but I couldn't resist today. Last night I was feeling particularly retro, and I downloaded the original Donkey Kong on ...
8-Bit Video Game Alphabet For The Learning Nerd
The way designers try to express their creativity is as multifaceted as a fly's eye. There are a few things they can do to undertake a large project, and know they will get some attention when they are done.

The Awesome Retro Use Of Recycled Cassettes
Do you miss the days when you could pop one of your cassettes into your Walkman and walk around listening to your merry music in your absolutely awesome yet ridiculous headphones? Well, I am sorry to tell you, but unless you have a truckload of cassettes and a working Walkman, there's not much we ca ...
Rymdreglage: 8-Bit Retro Lego Stop Motion Music Video
When geeks get creative the most wonderful things can happen. It doesn't always happen, but it does quite often, even if I may say so myself. A geek's creativity might not speak to the overall general population, but it's evident that their brainchildren usually make a high impact on social media se ...
Modern Fossils: How Our Children Will See Our Achievements
When looking at the technological revolution back in the '80s, I always get a little nostalgic and that retro feeling wraps itself around me like a blanket keeping me warm and blissful. It's like everything I have ever come to enjoy was born back in that age. But things change quickly nowadays, and ...
Multitasking And User Interface As Explained In 1982
It's quite funny how we don't reflect on the interface pretty much all of us are using on today's computers anymore. We're more focused on what has to be done during the day rather than marveling over the fact that we can actually do all that by multitasking. User interface and multitasking are word ...
The Cassette Tape Chair Makes Your Life Even More Retro
Trying to count how many times I have wanted to retrofy my life wouldn't even be possible. It happens every day, and I never dare pass up an opportunity to feel the cool of the past yet another time. In my own humble opinion, I think people in general don't embrace the past enough to justify the fut ...
How The Internet Looked Back In 1998
The way we navigate the Internet today is quite different from what it was like back in 1998. I don't mean the navigation itself (such as links etc.), but I mean the way we navigate using images, flash and tons of other languages incorporated to give us a better experience when we're surfing the now ...
DIY Geektastic Pac-Man Calendar (Chomp Chomp)
This little homage to everyone's favorite classic 80s video game is so precious I just want to make my own this weekend. If you weren't around in the 80s saving your quarters to play Pac-Man at the pizza joint on Friday nights like the rest of us, you could make one of these for Mario Bros. or reall ...
A Game Boy iPad 2 Cover For Retro Gaming Geeks

One thing I find even more creative than the products they release are ...

19 Things About Star Wars You Didn’t Know [Infographic]
Phew, it's hard work keeping up with all of the awesomeness of Star Wars. If we published everything we ever came across about Star Wars, Bit Rebels would soon become a Star Wars hangout for sure.

The Evolution Of The Batmobile [Infographic]
It's interesting to see what Christopher Nolan did with the whole Batman concept. It went from having dwindling movie goers to pure success. Sure, much of the success of the movie "Batman: The Dark Knight" was due to the untimely death of Heath Ledger, but the movie was also insanely cool and ente ...
Old Tupperware Bowls Become New Retro Kitchen Lamps
Do you remember back in the old days when people used to make Jello molds? My mother used to make those when we were young. She would put canned fruit inside them and whipped cream on top. Another thing my mother used to do is go to Tupperware parties. Does anyone still do that these days? I ha ...
