Here is something that will bring back wonderful childhood memories if you grew up in the '80s and '90s. Follow the life of a Game Boy in this brilliant animation.

See it being assembled in a factory and packaged for an excited child, and see it get played by youthful thumbs and eventually getting tossed away by a teenager just like every other toy.

EUROPE IN 8 BITS is a documentary directed by Javier Polo that explores the world of chip music, a new musical trend that is growing exponentially throughout Europe. The stars of this musical movement reveal to us how to reuse old videogames hardware like Nintendo's GameBoy, NES, Atari ST, Amiga and the Commodore 64 to turn them into a tool capable of creating a new sound, a modern tempo and an innovative musical style. This is a new way of interpreting music performed by a great many artists who show their skills in turning these "limited" machines designed for leisure in the 80's into surprising musical instruments and graphical tools. It will leave nobody indifferent.
