Fancy watching Star Wars? Foldsfive started and pushed forward the fantastic Pixelmash Experiment. Sit tight and also choose from The Empire Strike Back, Return of the Jedi, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and now Ghostbusters. (via B3ta)

It was better before they added in the extra stormtroopers.

I like the pitfall reference in the Lost Ark one.

I dig on the comic book-ish look of Ghostbusters. (Also I really, really love that movie.)

It's no ASCII Star Wars.

Yeah, these are great. And the Ghostbusters one is arguably better than the original film.

There are too many close-ups and lovingly-rendered shots in the Raiders installment. It's best when it keeps to the crude, side-scrolling style of an old 8-bit game.

I should add that these are really cool.

The "Ghostbusters" one is close to perfection.

I was disappointed. Did anyone really watch any of them all the way through?

Very cool. The paneling in the Ghostbusters works best for me. Excellent childhood memory refresher.

Very glad they used the original Star Wars trilogy; some of the additions in the Special Editions always give me the irrits (the song & dance routine in Jabba's Palace for example).

excuse my ignorance but can't an ipod play straight .gifs? or have I exalted the ipod unnecessarily (never owned one)......?

Wow. The Ghostbusters one made me think of the old C64 Ghostbusters game.

A lot.

But in a good way...

These are great, I like the little details like the Tie Fighter symbols on Luke's X-Wing in Empire to show how many kills he's got.
