See The Evolution Of Computer Graphics Through The Eyes Of A Cube
Ok. Perhaps that headline is a little misleading, as most cubes don’t have eyes. However, this video from the one-man music project The Hamster Alliance, puts us in the perspective of the familiar shape as gaming history warps around it.
There are a number of clever nods to gaming stalwarts contained herein, so keep a sharp eye out. The references to Super Mario Bros. and Quake are obvious, but there are stealthier nods to be found in the nearly four minute clip. And, yes, the Virtual Boy is still as eye-searing as you remember.
You can hear more of The Hamster Alliance’s music on the project’s website. Audiosurf fans should make a point to check out a number of videos featuring the rhythm game featured there.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
