If you want to see Captain America: The Winter Soldier again, don’t reach for your DVD. Just watch the story unfold in this 8-bit version created by YouTube channel CineFix’s 8 Bit Cinema. The team who brought us Nintendo-style versions of Spirited Away, The Matrix, and more have now turned their attention to the Marvel movie.

Captain America, Black Widow, and Hydra look amazing in the video, showing what 8 Bit Cinema calls “the action-adventure spy game you wish you had as a kid!”

Sorry, 8 Bit Cinema. This isn’t a game we wish we had as a kid—this is a game we wish we had now! Who wouldn’t want to play as the Falcon and take on Hydra in side-scrolling style? Sign us up!
