Play Jay Worthy’s 16-Bit Video Game ‘P of the Week’: ‘It Feels Like a Mix of My Two Favorite Games’
The retro video game comes a couple of weeks before his collab album with George Clinton drops.
Jay Worthy, the West Coast rapper from Vancouver, is on a roll with his latest collab album Generation P, featuring the legendary George Clinton. The duo LNDN DRGS have dropped a couple of singles, "Knee Deep" with Snoop Dogg and "Atomic P," and now they've released a 16-bit video game called P of the Week. The game, created by designer Kyle Zimmer, takes fans on a Super Mario/Streets of Rage mash-up adventure.
Worthy, an avid video game collector, explained to Complex that the game captures the essence of his two favorite games, Super Mario and Streets of Rage. Zimmer aimed to recreate the experience of playing video games on old CRT monitors, preserving the analogue feel while ensuring smooth gameplay in modern browser platforms. The game is not just a rollout, but a tribute to a lost period in cultural history, physical media, and vintage artifacts.
Generation P, featuring artists like Snoop Dogg, Larry June, Leven Kali, Ty Dolla $ign, and many more, is set to release on August 28. You can now play P of the Week here.
