Skyrim Trailer Goes Retro, Pays Homage to Classic Games [Video]

Did you know it’s Skyrim day? No, of course you didn’t. You’re far too busy playing Skyrim. When you take a break from Skyrim, you should check out this retro parody Skyrim trailer. It’s about Skyrim. Uploaded by RubberRoss, the trailer plays with the idea of what Skyrim might have been like if it came out 20 years ago and had Duck Hunt, Final Fantasy, and SkiFree inside it. Of course, it’s only a joke, but just like every entry in the long tradition of demakes, I find myself really wanting to play it. More than I want to play Skyrim, actually.
