The 8-Bit Orange in the Maelstrom

Our 8-Bit Orange is an homage to the era when our company’s founders first fell in love with technology, which at the time meant Atari, ColecoVision, Mario & Zelda, the Apple II, and the Oregon Trail. It is a reminder of the alpha, the first star in our technological constellation and the legacy from which we come.
