Shawshank Redemption gets the 8-bit cinema treatment

Lo-fi felony...

Nooruddean Choudry

It’s one of the most celebrated movies of the twentieth century, with epic cinematography and a soaring soundtrack. But forget all that because 8-bit is cool too!

Those clever guys at CineFix have turned the classic multi-award winning prison drama into a pretend retro adventure game and it’s beautifully done.

Andy Dufrane must collect various items, make friends, and achieve goals on his quest to escape Shawshank prison – all in gamified 8-bit (and a little 16-bit) glory.
