The 8-bit trend has once again reared its viral head, this time settling on the 1996 Adam Sandler comedy Happy Gilmore.

The film, starring the comedian as a rejected hockey player who enters the golfing arena to save his grandmother’s house, gets reimagined as an 8-bit video game by the folks behind the CineFix YouTube channel. The video takes us through some classic Happy Gilmore moments, like his fight with the crocodile, his smackdown with Bob Barker, and his training with Carl Weathers’ Chubbs.

CineFix offered similar treatments to Captain America: Civil War, Donnie Darko, Star Wars, and Mad Max: Fury Road. But that just skims the surface of their immense 8-bit video library.

Watch their latest in the video above.
