Minecraft has to be one of the most widely available games on the market, which is remarkable considering the sprawling sandbox is well known among players for its advanced building mechanics combined with a massive open world that is filled with an almost countless amount of NPCs and meticulous structures. Despite this, Minecraft has still managed to be ported to all kinds of low-end hardware such as mobile devices, the PS Vita, the Wii U, and more. Now, one talented Minecraft artist has decided to visualize a reality where the game is even made available on the retro Atari 2600 console.

Recently, it has been fairly common to see some visionary fans conceive modern video game releases but as retro titles. From across all corners of the gaming sphere, gamers have had the delight to see what games such as The Last of Us 2 would look like on the PS1 or how a Super Nintendo Entertainment System version of the popular mobile-RPG Genshin Impact would play. In short, these extraordinary tributes are another creative outlet for artists and designers to celebrate a beloved game in a way that is wholly unique when compared to other forms of fan art.
