The Smiths 8-Bit Makeover.
by Butcher Billy.Stop whining, Morrisey. Go play a game!
The monochromatic black and white world of pain of the seminal 80’s band The Smiths gets an extreme makeover by being heavily influenced by the colorful 8-bit games of the early 90’s.
What comes from that is something between outrageous and fun. Some of the songs will get a whole new meaning, while others will take classic games to a slightly different concept.
Who am I kidding?! That Morrisey would sure keep whining.

Japanese Pac-Man flyer, circa 1980.
The original Japanese title was Pakkuman (パックマン), inspired by the Japanese onomatopoeic slang phrase paku-paku taberu (パクパク食べる), where paku-paku describes (the sound of) the mouth movement when widely opened and then closed in succession. (…) The result was a game named Puck Man.
Later in 1980, the game was picked up for manufacture in the United States by Bally division Midway, which changed the game’s name from Puck Man to Pac-Man in an effort to avoid vandalism to the letter ‘P’. [info from Wikipedia]
