Straight Right Ahead: Retro Heroes montage

Moving forward at the right direction

ONE of the things that makes retro games so memorable is the fact that they are simple in nature. You move from point A to point B while overcoming any obstacle that comes in the way.

 Now, this has been the main theme for a majority of the games available since Super Mario Bros. burst into the scene and has since been one of the most enduring gameplays mechanic of all time in any games especially if its 2D.

So, you can't deny that most of that musty nostalgic feeling you get from the old school games when you watch this YouTube video simply titled "Go Right" (and after you stop guessing which games its from) that you will suddenly realise how this video has the power to move you, well, in the most retro-gamers of ways, that is.

Youtube user RockyPlanetesimal made this very clear in what can be best described as everything you love about retro games in a sweeping montage of our old heroes overcoming said obstacles. With the song "A Wild And Distant Shore" by Michael Nyman that fits so well into the montage that you can't help but feel taken away from it.

Now sit back, relax and get ready to be pulled into a world now long forgotten.
