The fourth-annual 8-Bit Salute, a marathon benefitting the video game care-package charity Operation Supply Drop, is underway and taking donations over the next two days. Donations buy video games for U.S. and NATO servicemembers stationed overseas. In-kind donations of games on current and previous generation consoles, the Nintendo DS/3DS and PlayStation Vita, and Steam Xbox Live or PlayStation Network codes also are accepted. Operation Supply Drop started in 2010, the brainchild of Army Capt. Stephen Machuga (ret.), a Ranger who sought to refocus the goodwill of civilians who made well intentioned donations of care-packages full of things that troops, well, don't really want. Machuga said he got the idea after his unit received a care package full of old romance paperbacks, which were then used for target practice.
