It should be no surprise to those of you who've ever cracked the spine of one of Bryan Lee O’Malley’s Pilgrim comic books or watched just a frame of the trailer that both worlds are strongly influenced by video games – more specifically, titles such as Double Dragon and Super Mario Brothers. Even the names of some of the bands featured can trace their origins back to O’Malley’s early gaming days. “The first Nintendo game I ever got was Clash At Demonhead,” he said in an About.com interview – hence the name of one visiting band. And Scott Pilgrim’s own group, Sex Bob-omb, is named for a Mario villain. The eight-bit classics have such power over the Pilgrim world that the computer game based on the movie is rendered in true scrolling arcade style, a nostalgic blast of digital entertainment sure to turn any ‘80s/’90s arcade veteran into a wistful button-puncher, and make The Kids Today wonder what the fuss was about.
