WATCH: Stranger Things as an 8-bit video game will bring you so much joy

Paul Moore

This will turn your life upside down.

Given that Stranger Things absolutely revels in its ’80s influences – the films of Steven Spielberg, John Carpenter and John Hughes instantly spring to mind – it comes as no surprise that the brilliant people at CineFix have given the smash-hit Netflix show the 8-bit treatment.

To be fair, we reckon that when Will, Dustin, Lucas, Mike and Eleven aren’t playing Dungeons and Dragons, they’re probably on their Commodore 64.

Take a look as the entire plot from Season 1 unfolds in this wonderful animated video.

All that’s missing is some music from Joy Division or Echo and the Bunnymen. Enjoy!
