This 8-bit Iron Man game is not available in stores; it's just part of a 1-minute video by Californian filmmakers Norwood Cheek and David Dutton. From the familiar red and yellow mask to jet-shooting Iron Man armor, the creators had fun pixelating one of the most praised superheroes video game-style.

8-bit cinema seems to be a popular choice to portray modern media these days. From The Great Gatsby's 8-bit game to the building block Superman Man of Steel trailers, media producers are reminiscing the old [Nintendo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/protohologram) 64 days with these retro creations.

The video displays all major aspects of Iron Man, even his love affair with cartoon hearts floating on the screen. If the game were to be on the market, it might do well.
