Erm, except that it's in the style of games on old home computers like the Spectrum/Commodore 64, or consoles like the ColecoVision.

All of those are 8 bit machines.

So 8 bit this is.

True enough, but they were 4-bit color which is what I was thinking of.

The C64 wasnt 4 bit color, its limit was just 16 colors, which is more then this game used. This game looks more like the atari 2600.

4-bit colour is a maximum of 16 colours.

Pretty cool

Interesting, I suppose. What is more important is that I got my invitation to log in to my Battle.net account and download StarCraft(r) II: Wings of Liberty(TM) Beta. Yeah!!!! It's here!!!!

I wish SC2 looked this cool

Starcraft was one of the last games released with 8bit graphics, everyone else had moved on to 16bit by then.
