History

edit

Slow Games is a 2014 art console made by designer Ishac Bertran of New York City.[1][2] The system attracted media attention for having games that only allowed one move per day, and for it's minimalist aesthetics.[1][2]

The game consoles were not intended for commercial production.[3]

Technology

edit

Three models of the device were made supporting one game each, with each device featuring slightly different controls on top of the console as a result.[3]
