If you're anything like me, the mere mention of 'retro gaming' conjures up visions of pixelated landscapes and ear-bleeding chiptunes. For those fortunate enough to have grown up in an era before 3D graphics cards became de rigueur, games were simpler yet somehow more rewarding experiences.

One such retro throwback that still manages to capture the hearts and minds of modern gamers is I Wanna Be The Guy: The Movie: The Game. Developed by a lone individual (aptly named 'The Cheez' ) with an obvious love for classic American gaming tropes, this tongue-in-cheek tribute lovingly lampoons everything from 8-bit platformers to campy B-movies.

Gameplay-wise, I Wanna Be The Guy: TM:TG plays out as a traditional side-scrolling action-platformer. Our hero - an unassuming everyman type with his face conveniently obscured by a fedora - must navigate through treacherous environments teeming with enemies intent on ending his quest for... well, it's never quite clear what he wants to be the guy for, come to think of it.

As our protagonist (for lack of a better term) navigates this pixelated purgatory, players will encounter all manner of familiar foes from classic gaming lore. Spiky ceilings await those who fail to judge timing correctly; acid pits beckon reckless adventurers to take an impromptu dip; and boss battles against fearsome creatures like giant mutated turtles or massive floating heads (the latter being a clear nod to Contra III, for anyone keeping score) will test even the most seasoned gamers' reflexes.

Graphically speaking, I Wanna Be The Guy: TM:TG eschews fancy-schmancy 3D graphics in favor of old-school sprite-based visuals that wouldn't look out-of-place on an NES console from back in '87. Similarly, the game's chiptune soundtrack - a deliberate pastiche of classic video game themes - will transport players straight back to those halcyon days when gaming was still a relatively innocent pursuit.

Overall, I Wanna Be The Guy: TM:TG is a lovingly crafted tribute that should appeal equally well to retro gaming enthusiasts looking for a nostalgic trip down memory lane as it does newer gamers curious about the origins of modern video games. So grab your controller (preferably an SNES controller with all buttons working) and get ready to experience classic American gaming - IWBTG style!
