[Cinefix](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVtL1edhT8qqY-j2JIndMzg "undefined"), who have also made 8-bit versions of _The Fast and the Furious_ and Wes Anderson’s _The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou_, have turned their creative energies on James Cameron’s 1997 _Titanic_, which starred Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet as a lovestruck couple on an ill-fated cruise. Now fans of the heart-wrenching saga of Jack and Rose can relive their adventures aboard the unsinkable ship that turned out to be 100% sinkable in a fun 8-bit video game inspired video. Thanks to the retro format, as you watch the Jack and Rose avatars run the gamut of the doomed ship in a bid to survive, it looks like Jack has stepped in for Mario as he works to save the princess, and it would not be a surprise to see Donkey Kong show up and re-arrange the deck chairs. Watch now, but if you haven’t seen the film (get on that), then beware: There are definitely spoilers. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3822688/8-bit-titanic/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3822688/8-bit-titanic/"},"headline":"Video Imagines Titanic Movie as an 8-Bit Video Game","datePublished":"2015-04-15T21:07:24.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:18:47.058Z","description":"It looks like Jack has stepped in for Mario","url":"https://time.com/3822688/8-bit-titanic/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Internet","Video Games","movies","viral","titanic"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3822688/8-bit-titanic/","name":"Video Imagines Titanic Movie as an 8-Bit Video Game"}}]}] ```
