Gigglebit is Siliconrepublic’s daily dose of the funny and fantastic in science and tech, to help start your day on a lighter note.

Do you watch The Walking Dead? I checked out the first season and gave up, but the consensus in the Silicon Republic office seems to be that it’s a somewhat enjoyable show.

For me, there was nothing in it that lived up to the comic book series on which the programme is based, but the new retro gaming version certainly comes close.

This throwback video is produced for CineFix as part of its 8-Bit Cinema series. Watch pixilated versions of your favourite characters ploughing through the zombie hordes, and your favourite scenes from seasons 1 and 2 recreated in all their 8-bit glory. Alas, if only it was playable.
