A series of awesome 8-bit wallpapers were once available on Freaky Fonts but they seem to have gone missing, so download them here instead. You won't just get the Donkey Kong wallpaper you see above, but other fun options from classic games like Bubble Bobble, Pac Man, and Space Invaders.

Mario Mushrooms

This wallpaper was created by DesktopNexus user userNULL, featuring the wonderful variety of 8-bit Mario mushrooms and blocks. It's a nice, simple way to pay your respects to the mushrooms that sacrifice their lives to power up our favorite plumber.

Raphael Sabbat's desktop led me to a wallpaper I couldn't find, but I did find the source image and just made a wallpaper out of it. So, here you are...a Mario Bros. homage to one of the most disgusting internet videos every made.

We've been playing around with eight whole bits ourself this week, making graphics for our new Lifehacker Night School. We thought we'd make you a desktop to enjoy as well.

8-Bit Dragster

An often forgotten gem from Activision, Dragster can now live on in glorious black and white through this simple desktop by The Retroist.

Mobile

Now for a little in mobile, where you can even have a wallpaper that is an actual game.

Mario Live Wallpaper for Android

Why settle for a still image when you can make Super Mario Bros. or Super Mario World your actual living wallpaper? Check out the video for a demo. It will drain the battery pretty quickly, but at least you'll be using your battery for something pretty awesome. Also, it's free. [Spletni dnevnik via Mashable]

Sonic Live Wallpaper
