Some games you play. Some games forgotten.
Graham's got a day job in IT, but his heart's still running on 8-bit.
When Graham starts noticing something's not right with his favourite games from the eighties - glitches that shouldn't be there, memories that don't quite match the machine - he can't shake the feeling that something in the retro world is dying of neglect.
He's not alone in noticing. Soon a scattered, unlikely crew of fellow obsessives - from his own backyard shed to a stranger's archive halfway across the world - are all chasing the same mystery: why are the games failing, and what does it actually take to bring them back?
Turns out fixing the past is a lot harder than restoring a floppy disk.
A warm, sweary, wildly nostalgic Australian comedy about friendship, obsession, and the games we never really let go of.
