A few years ago, Nick Criscuolo uploaded a sublime mock-up trailer for an 8-bit adaptation of *Zardoz*, the best absurd cult sci-fi to feature Sean Connery in a red spandex loincloth. Now Nick is very much interested in making that fictional project a reality, throwing some rather inconceivable level design concepts [on his blog](http://nickquest.com/8-bitzardoz/?ref=killscreen.com), along with animated gifs of the pixel-y former Bond on horseback. He’s saying it will be released later this year.

Silly homages to old movies and television in the form of no-budget games are not uncommon, with [*Fight Club*](http://killscreendaily.com/articles/16-bit-fight-club-best-fight-club/?ref=killscreen.com) and [*My Girl*](http://killscreendaily.com/articles/my-girl-videogame-will-either-make-you-laugh-or-cry-probably-laugh/?ref=killscreen.com) coming to mind most recently, but it’s rare that they get taken seriously, like this one. Criscuolo is currently seeking a collaborator/programmer/fellow-levitating-concrete-head lover to help him make *Zardoz: the stinky (but awesome) movie: the videogame* a reality. Godspeed.
