'''iam8bit, Inc.''' is an American merchandising company, video game publisher, and artist collective based in Los Angeles, California. iam8bit hosts an online store that primarily sells collectible vinyl records of video game soundtracks, but also sells t-shirts, artwork, pins and other merchandise. iam8bit also frequently collaborates with Skybound Games to produce physical editions of independent video games.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Games - Skybound Entertainment |url=https://www.skybound.com/games |website=Skybound Entertainment}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Upcoming Cyberpunk Cat Adventure Game Stray Gets Physical Edition |url=https://presse.plaion.com/fr-BE/Komende-cat-adventure-game-Stray-krijgt-fysieke-editie |access-date=March 11, 2023 |website=Plaion}}</ref> The company also owns an art gallery in Los Angeles that hosts various exhibitions annually.

== History == ''iam8bit'' began as an art show surrounding pop culture fandom in 2005. The event, and subsequent company of the same name, were created and founded by video game and tech journalist Jon M. Gibson, and film director Amanda White, who is also known for producing the mockumentary ''I'm Still Here''.<ref>{{Cite web |title=I'm Still Here |url=https://www.boxofficemojo.com/release/rl3176891905/weekend/ |access-date=February 21, 2023 |website=Box Office Mojo}}</ref>

After its inception as an art event, iam8bit became a full-fledged lifestyle brand, focused on the artistic side of gaming. Beginning with a collection of "limited edition" T-shirts adorned with popular images from the exhibition, the company would go on to design events and merchandising for other companies.

Chronicle Books published an official collection of pieces from the inaugural show in April 2005 entitled, ''iam8bit: Art Inspired by Classic Videogames of the '80s'', and was promptly carried in stores like Urban Outfitters, Barnes & Noble, Giant Robot, and many other museum and boutique shops. A sequel to the book, called ''SUPER i am 8-bit: More Art Inspired by Classic Videogames of the '80s'', was published by Insight Editions in June 2010.

iam8bit, as a merchandising brand, started off with a collection of limited edition T-shirts adorned with popular images from the art exhibit. The company would branch out to be a collectible vinyl records in 2010, with the promotion of Disney's video game ''Tron: Evolution.''

A partnership with Blik,<ref>"[http://www.whatisblik.com/iam8bit.html Blik Surface Graphics' ''iam8bit'' mini-site] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080511155011/http://www.whatisblik.com/iam8bit.html |date=2008-05-11 }}"</ref> a manufacturer of vinyl wall decals, was formed {{When|date=February 2023}} after the company created a custom, large-scale window installation for iam8bit's office. The result was a series of removable ''Space Invader''-style wall stickers that, after several years, had been a consistently selling product for Blik.{{Citation needed|date=February 2023}} In 2007, iam8bit formed another partnership with Couch Guitar Straps<ref>"[http://www.couchguitarstraps.com/rock-bandguitar-hero-strap-i-am-8bit-by-couch-p-60.html Couch Guitar Straps] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090518011540/http://www.couchguitarstraps.com/rock-bandguitar-hero-strap-i-am-8bit-by-couch-p-60.html |date=2009-05-18 }} ''iam8bit'' mini-site/"</ref> to create a line of straps created for use with ''Guitar Hero'' and ''Rock Band''.

For New Line's 2008 DVD release of ''The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters'', iam8bit produced numerous supplemental features, including the "iam8bit Music & Gallery," which featured ''Donkey Kong''-inspired art from the first three years of the ''iam8bit'' art show, as well as an accompanying soundtrack by renowned micro-musicians like 8 Bit Weapon, ComputeHer, and others. For this DVD, Gibson, as a writer and producer, and director Gabe Swarr also created an original, one-minute animated short, entitled ''A Really, Really Brief History of Donkey Kong'',<ref name="marketing kong">{{cite web|date=February 7, 2008|title=''A Really, Really Brief History of Donkey Kong''(''The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters'')|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6b86p7AqK8E|author=Gabe Swarr|publisher=YouTube|access-date=May 25, 2009}}</ref> featuring music by 8 Bit Weapon, which received both critical and fan praise.<ref>"[http://www.aintitcool.com/?q=node/35443 Ain't it Cool News DVD review of ''The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters'']</ref> Gibson, along with IGN Entertainment Editorial Director Chris Carle, provided a full-length commentary track recounting the cultural and historical significance of the 1980s arcade scene.

=== Mega Man 9 Press Kit (2008) ===

In 2008, ''iam8bit'' was hired by Capcom to create the cover artwork for Mega Man 9. The cover art, done by Gerald de Jesus (part of the iam8bit artist collective), was made to be similar the American box art of the original ''Mega Man'' game, often considered to be "ugly" by the fanbase.<ref>{{Cite web |date=April 26, 2020 |title=Poll: Box Art Brawl #40 - Mega Man |url=https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2020/04/poll_box_art_brawl_40_-_mega_man |access-date=February 21, 2023 |website=Nintendo Life |language=en-GB}}</ref> According to Chris Kramer, Senior Director of Communications and Community at Capcom Entertainment, "the marketing group [decided] if we were going to release a game that looked like it came from 1987 that we should run the whole marketing campaign as if we were working in the games industry in 1987".<ref>{{cite web|date=July 22, 2008|title =Mega Man 9 crazy "boxart" spotted in the wild at E3|url=http://www.capcom-unity.com/kramez/blog/2008/07/22/mega_man_9_crazy_boxart_spotted_in_the_wild_at_e3|author=Chris Kramer|publisher=Capcom|access-date=July 27, 2008}}</ref>

A "limited edition" press kit using that cover art was then created by iam8bit.<ref>{{cite web|date=September 16, 2008|title=Mega Man 9's press kit inspires more NEStaglia|url=http://nintendo.joystiq.com/2008/09/16/mega-man-9s-press-kit-inspires-more-nestalgia/|author=JC Fletcher|publisher=Joystiq|access-date=May 25, 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090221144443/http://nintendo.joystiq.com/2008/09/16/mega-man-9s-press-kit-inspires-more-nestalgia|archive-date=February 21, 2009|url-status=dead}}</ref> Being as faithful to the original 1987 release as possible, the iam8bit crew disassembled hundreds of vintage Nintendo Entertainment System cartridges, magnetized them, and inserted mini "asset" CDs inside, featuring an array of screenshots, character art, etc. originally intended for members of the media, but later sold to fans via the online Capcom Store.<ref>{{cite web|title=Mega Man 9 Press Kit|url=http://shop.capcom.com/store/capcomus/en_US/DisplayProductDetailsPage/productID.108052200|publisher=Capcom Store|access-date=May 25, 2009|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090503042509/http://shop.capcom.com/store/capcomus/en_US/DisplayProductDetailsPage/productID.108052200|archive-date=May 3, 2009}}</ref> The cartridges were then packaged in a custom-created, classic-looking Nintendo Entertainment System box, complete with shrink-wrap and bargain bin price tags (i.e. "SALE $9.99"). The fanfare for the press kit resulted in eBay listings of upwards of $1,200, making it one of the most sought-after promotional items in video game history.<ref>{{cite web|date=September 16, 2008|title=Mega Man 9 Retail Package?!?|url=http://www.capcomdigital.com/blog/2008/09/16/mega_man_9_retail_package|author=John Diamonon|publisher=Capcom|access-date=September 22, 2008|archive-date=September 21, 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080921223859/http://www.capcomdigital.com/blog/2008/09/16/mega_man_9_retail_package|url-status=dead}}</ref>

=== Tricell Progenitor Virus Detection Kit (2009) ===

In March 2009, the Tricell Progenitor Virus Detection Kit was created to promote the release of ''Resident Evil 5'' on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The kit, designed to look like an off-the-shelf pregnancy tester, was sent to select news reporters and members of video game/technology media, and later sold in limited quantities to consumers via the Capcom Store.<ref>{{cite web|title=Tricell Progenitor Virus Detection Kit (Press Kit)|url=http://shop.capcom.com/store/capcomus/en_US/DisplayProductDetailsPage/productID.120691700|publisher=Capcom Store|access-date=May 25, 2009|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090521201630/http://shop.capcom.com/store/capcomus/en_US/DisplayProductDetailsPage/productID.120691700|archive-date=May 21, 2009}}</ref> The box lacks all Capcom or iam8bit company branding, focusing only on the fictional corporation of Tricell from within Resident Evil 5.

Inside of the kit had Tricell-branded protective nitrile gloves, surgical mask, hand sanitizer, and a bio-hazard bag, as well as a two "Advanced Detection & Suppression Technology Discs".<ref>{{cite web |author=Crecente |first=Brian |date=March 10, 2009 |title=Tricell's Real Progenitor Virus Detection and Suppression Kit |url=http://kotaku.com/5167513/tricells-real-progenitor-virus-detection-and-suppression-kit |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160824020144/http://kotaku.com/5167513/tricells-real-progenitor-virus-detection-and-suppression-kit |archive-date=August 24, 2016 |access-date=May 25, 2009 |publisher=Kotaku}}</ref> Inserting the discs into the console had a fictitious anti-virus detector "analyze" your system, detecting various levels of infection with the Progenitor virus.<ref>{{Citation |title=Tricell - Progenitor Virus Detection Kit |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbDXFVu14qM |language=en |access-date=February 21, 2023}}</ref>
