“Go Right” – Amazing Ode To Platforming Games

“Go Right” is a 2 and a half minute YouTube video that acts as an ode to platforming and adventure games of old. It is – literally – brilliant, with some clever editing, superb music and a really, really smart twist. And all your favourite games.

Seriously – if you love gaming at all, you need to spend a couple of minutes watching this. Now.

  1. At first I thought it was just bit’s of platforming games stuck together, but you are right there is some clever editing going on there where is builds at the end. Great video and some great memories.

  2. Cool vid. Nice trip down memory lane.

  3. such a simple idea, but so effective when executed this well.

  4. I waited 2 mins to see Miner Willy and he didn’t show up .. bah .

  5. I really loved that. The inclusion of old titles and new was inspired.

    There was that obvious message of ‘No going back’, so we go forward with titles like Rayman: Origins. Which I now intend to go and buy…

  6. Absolutely loved it.
    It was like watching the Hovis advert without the bread and more pixels and less chronology. Would like more chronology actually, if someone was to do a similar one.

  7. Amazing!

  8. Brilliant! I absolutely love this

  9. Gaming Art. The maker of this vid is seriously talented. That was a trip down memory lane. Awesome!!!
