Cool Stuff: Watchmen 8-Bit Video Game

Posted on Thursday, February 12th, 2009 by Peter Sciretta

Another Watchmen website has launched at MinutemenArcade.com, which includes a kick ass old school style Watchmen video game. It’s kinda like if there was an 8-bit Watchmen video game for the NES. The set-up is much like the old Double Dragon games. What are you doing still reading my boring write-up? Head on over the the Minutemen Arcade and play it for yourself. Seems like the guys over in the UK are having a lot of fun marketing this film, which begs the question… why isn’t the film getting the same treatment in the states?

    I think the trailer at the end of the game had like 3 or 4 shots I hadn't seen before, idk, there's been like 7 trailers so maybe I'm mixed up.
  • veidtenterprises

  • Stuntman Mike
    That was AWESOME! Moloch reminded me of Jason in the old Friday the 13th Game for Nintendo.
  • spoilah
    "That's the end of you and your dastardly plans, Moloch!" haha i love this game!! i only placed 55 :(
  • jank
    yeah the official site has footage of each character that i have never seen before in any of the trailers.
  • filmkid
    this is great cant believe they did this for a movie but its great promotion for Watchmen. WB are doing the best viral campaign just imagine FOX directed the Watchmen they wont do cool stuff like this to promote a movie.
  • mrmarkrobson

  • Rudin
    Hahaha, I came here to post this. Huge nerds unite! It's definitely 16bit.
  • WHsmith
    no doubt, only a total loser who doesn't deserve to live would call that 8-bit instead of 16. /film has lost all cred now, shut it down immediately.
  • yeah it's cool. I'm gonna try the game
  • ADD
    I got top score bitches!
  • Does your name stand for Attention Deficit Disorder?

    Because if you were paying attention, you'd realized no one cares about your scores.
  • maybe the gaming industry should stop trying to release full feature games based off movies, and develop 8-bit style games and sell it in their marketplace.

    jk.
  • I feel a 16-bit Iron Man game would've been better than the PS3/360 versions...
    *shudder*
  • MissyA
    Its not WB. A lot of these virals are from the international campaign so technically, it's Paramount...
  • filmkid

  • Great idea, but the game was meh.
  • Javajunkie
    Check the game's background for posters advertising Rolph Mueller (aka Hooded Justice) appearing at the local circus :)
