It’s true, kids… There was a time when U.S. quarters and 8-bits worth of action ruled. Animator, PES, wants to give us the warm nostalgic feeling that only old-school video games can provide.

Game Over is a brilliant stop-motion animation that uses food and everyday items to recreate classic video game action.

The blistering speed and chaos of Centipede is recreated with muffins and cupcakes, while Pac-Man is made from a pizza pie with some slices removed. No wonder the ghosts chase him around. Quarters up!!
