How Were NIM16 Formed?

The band was born in April 2014 during a friend’s pizza night gathering in Costa Rica.

All the band members were musicians from different bands who share a love for video games and anime.

That night in 2014, the band members set out to do something different from what is usually heard on the local scene, a video games oriented band that plays out those childhood memories of the video game music experience that we can all relate to.

The name NIM16 comes from The Nimrod computer which was a special purpose built computer that played the game of Nim, designed and built by Ferranti and displayed at the Exhibition of Science during the 1951 Festival of Britain.

The "16" refers to the 16-bit games era of video games consoles.

Ed (bass) came up with the name through reading articles about gaming history and searching keywords or video games references. He came across the story of the "Nimrod computer" or "NIM".

Previously, Ivan and Pablo were in bands that played anime openings in local festivals, however, the day NIM was formed the band came up with the idea of doing something unique, so a project involving Video Game music seemed an excellent idea as well as being something the three band members liked. It was something that had not been done before in Costa Rica.

The band realised that music is a very important element behind video games and the band truly love to pay tribute to this side of the video games world!
