The “32 Bit Style” is a style of making games that look, sound, and feel like they were made during the 32Bit era of consoles in the 1990s. This guide outlines what was possible on these consoles and it has some suggestions on how to make your game best fit this style.

Although not 32 bits, it's a way to play; could games like those that run on the Nokia 3210 be part of the jam, or would that be too much of a deviation from the theme?

2D games are allowed, but this jam is more focused on the consoles of the 32 bit era. Perhaps you could make the graphics more detailed or make a lowpoly Nokia…

Nice summary of 32 bit info, theres some interesting stuff in there! I enjoyed going through it all this afternoon while brainstorming for the gamejam.

I would certainly like to see the section on music :)
