UPDATE – We’ve updated the link to the 8-bit fireplace app, which is now $2.99 in the Mac App Store, with a “Lite” version available for free. There is also a $0.99 iPad version available in the iOS App Store.
Ah, the holiday season. Relax, grab some eggnog, and have a seat in your favorite chair. You know, that really soft one next to the Christmas tree, right in front of your 8-bit interactive Mac fireplace.
Yup, you read that right. 8-bit interactive fireplace. On your Mac. Every bit as nice as those other full-motion video fireplace apps, but even better, since it reminds you of old times at the arcade, where you ate too many french fries and spent hundreds of dollars in quarters (yeah, those were the days…).
That experience can be yours with Ted Marten’s free $2.99 Fireplace app for OS X. You can even type commands like “marshmallow” or “hotdog” into the app, and they’ll appear on the screen to provide the finishing touch to your 8-bit illusion.
If you have any sense of retro awesomeness, or just want to prove to your friends just how bizarre you really are, head on over to Ted Marten’s page and grab a copy for yourself!
