Go Right Celebrates The Joy Of Platform-Based Games

For those who spent their childhoods attached to a video game controller.

If you’re a platform gamer, casual or otherwise, then you’ve spent some time watching your on-screen alter-ego charging across from one side to the other. If you are hardened plaformer, then you’ve got those images etched into your memory from hours spent getting strained eyes while completing just one more level before bedtime. Just one more.

YouTube user RockyPlanetesimal knows all about watching fictional characters go from A to B and he’s made a supercut featuring a whole load of your favorites and more doing just that, from Sonic to Spider-Man. To add extra poignancy, he’s added a soundtrack of Michael Nyman’s “A Wild And Distant Shore” to bring tears to those heavily hooded eyes while watching this ode to the joys of side-scrolling platformers.
