Introduction
Voodoo Ranger IPA is an alcoholic beverage produced by the New Belgium Brewing Company. The beer is most known for its colorful can designs, unique flavors, and charismatic mascot: The Handsomest Bear. As a supporter and longtime fan of the brand, I recently came across a slew of 8-bit games, centered around the various flavors in the Voodoo Ranger Family. In this post, we'll take a look at the Voodoo Ranger video game catalogue, and explore the gameplay.

Voodoo Ranger is a fun brand, that obviously doesn't take itself too seriously. I simply love the amount of detail that went into fleshing out these 8-bit experiences, lending as further extensions in the Voodoo Ranger universe. I can't wait to see how augmented reality and other technologies will evolve this tech and merchandising space.
