This Flash film uses Soviet-style, workerist images to replay Mario Bros. There's also a Red Army soundtrack. Curiously gory, too.
It's like an alternate history artifact, from a timeline where the USSR survived the Cold War. Or a cousin to Tetris.

Thanks for finding this quite amazing Soviet Realism returns, to bad they hadn't adapted to video game culture under Perestrokia they might not have succumbed to mafia capitalism, or maybe they would have...anyways

Computer gaming versus kleptocracy? That's a rich thought, Eugene. Imagine an alternate universe RIAA defending Russian software giants... hm...
