Back in 1998 when the Internet was a lot more fun and free, there was a Shockwave games site called ‘Netbabyworld’. It was super cool. Lots of pixel-art style games.
The design of the games and the promotional material had a certain look which might look familiar to Elektron fans.
I bought a sticker sheet from them. Today, as I was going through my archives I found the sticker sheet and thought I’d take a photo and share here.
Not coincidence. I know some of the Netbaby gents. Elektron people were involved. Tho I think this was even before SID Station, so not sure Elektron existed as more than an idea and a first product in the making, at the time.
Ah the good ol’ days when we used to hang out for posts to k10k for cool web design, NTK for tech memes and pretty much anything Praystation published was fun to luxuriate in (as long as your PC didn’t bork over some Shockwave plugin memory leak).
Yes, Jesper Kouthoofd. You might remember him from design classics such as the Machinedrum, OP-1 etc…
I haven’t seen these Netbaby stickers before! Some of that stuff was lying around the old Elektron office in Gothenburg though. Hilarious that the typeface and logo are so similar to what became the Elektron identity.
