This short pixel art/chiptunes documentary is great. One of my favorite indie game developers Jason Rohrer makes an appearance.

I found this awesome website sarien.net where you can play old Sierra adventure games ported to Javascript and Canvas (via @OMGWTFGAMES). You can actually join other player's games and talk to them. I basically learned how to read playing Space Quest. I just had a flashback from when I was 5 years old and accidentally formatted the hard drive on my 386. My dad was pissed.

If you have an Android phone check out GrandMasterPixel by OMGWTFGAMES. It's a pixel art game with an RPG element.

If you like chiptunes, check out Henry Homesweet. He has quite a few free downloads up on that lastfm page.

8-bit music and art have become a staple of internet culture. We have street artists like Space Invader, sites like eboy, Gang Garrison (8-bit TF2), and even Engadget uses Bit Shifter for the Engadget Show. 

I ran into glomag in NYC a couple of weeks ago, and recognized him from this great Engadget special on chiptunes:
