Prize: 3 copies of Pixel Ripped 1995 to be drawn among the contestants!*

Pixel Ripped is a nostalgia-fueled virtual reality game-within-a-game, set in 1995! To restore balance to multiple dimensions, our videogame hero Dot recruits the help of the best gamer from 1995, an unassuming 9-year-old boy named David. Join this unlikely duo through challenging throwbacks to all your favorite classics from the late 16-bit and early 32-bit era of games inside a virtual reality world.

The game evokes a genuine nostalgic feeling, such as the adrenaline of playing games without getting caught after your mom told you to go to bed, or the thrill of finding that brand new game at the store. You have to do all that and more through multiple environments - including your living room, bedroom, the local video rental store, the arcade at the pier, and more. Where each level feels like an entire new game, Pixel Ripped 1995 is an incredible journey for both VR and retro gamers.
