Dr. Horrible goes 8-bit
8-Bit Dr. Horrible
Ever since "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog" went
viral two years ago, Joss Whedon fans have been clamoring for one
thing: to see this musical tragicomedy transformed into a Nintendo game
circa 1986. Or maybe that's just us. In any case, Doctor Octoroc -- an 8-bit masher-upper who specializes in retro-video-game-inspired art and music -- has made our dream a reality.
Doc Oc just unveiled his latest project: "
8-Bit Dr. Horrible,"
a creation so fiendishly clever, it could only have sprung from the fevered brain of an evil genius. Now you can watch a digital Dr.
Horrible unleash his endearingly evil machinations in pixel form (we
always thought NPH would make a great
sprite), all to the blippy beat of
Koji Kondo-inspired tunes.
Our favorite part? You can kinda sorta pretend that you're playing
along.
