Here’s a great way to fritter away your Friday afternoon. Remember those little LCD games you used to play before Game Boy? With only like two or three buttons, and the static graphics? Well, Pica Pic has collected about a dozen of them, photographed the assets carefully, and remade them for you to enjoy.

I think you’ll find that some of these are still pretty fun, while others are just terrible, as they always were. Autoslalom? There’s literally no way to avoid the things sometimes! Who made this thing?
