This has been something of a hot topic for many years now. The whole thing about “can video games be counted as art?“.

Me, i have seen video games as interactive art ever since the late 80s. Just take the video game boxes and game manuals for example. Most of them could be counted as art.

Even Mega Man himself would dig this.

Just take Baldurs Gate manuals for example. Those manuals are full of awesome art and pictures. So there is no doubt (whatsoever) in my mind that 8-Bit Artist´s creations, really counts as art. 

But don´t take my word on it. Just check out 8-Bit Artist´s awesome art pieces for yourselves!
