It's been 10 years since PICO-8's release...
Let's celebrate! here's a small cart with some PICO-8 history and trivia.
I've been so glad to have found PICO-8 a year ago, and couldn't wait to add to the PICO-8 lore in my own way. That said, I am very happy to have been able to research and share this history with you! Feel free to share what you love about PICO-8 below, etc. Thanks for making the PICO-8 community great!

Wow, I had no idea today was PICO-8's birthday! This is a nice little tribute, well spotted, Steven!
Happy Birthday Pico-8!
I was late to the party with Pico-8, but I heard about Voxatron years ago, from this article: https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2011/01/we-3-voxels-why-voxatron-is-an-exciting-indie-shooter/ I loved Voxatron, and really hoped it was going to be actively developed (I mostly played the supplied Arena and Hug Arena by @benjamin_soule). I resisted Pico-8 for many years before finally seeing what the fuss was about and I absolutely love it. It just hits the spot for me.
One day I will write a cart myself. One day...
Hi Steven, I couldn't link your name in my thread you just posted in. so trying to reach out here.
(will delete this post after).
Thanks for spotting that bug! your screenshot made it super easy to track down.
I’ve fixed it now, so if you get a chance to check the latest version and it looks good… maybe that huge scary error screenshot can quietly disappear? 😅
Either way, really appreciate you taking the time to let me know!
