'Downton Abbey' recreated as SNES game - watch video

Downton Abbey has been re-imagined as a SNES game in clip that recently surfaced online.

YouTube user Bill Kiley gave the popular television show the 16-bit treatment and created a chiptunes cover of its theme tune.



The game's protagonist is a new footman at the manor, who must complete tasks including collecting missing cigars for a dinner party, fluffing pillows and setting the dinner table.

Mary Crawley asks the lead character to spy on Mrs Patmore, whom she suspects is trying to poison her husband Matthew with her cooking, and butler Mr Carson serves as a means of saving progress.

The graphics were lifted from the 1995 survival-horror game Clock Tower and the SNES version of Home Alone 2: Lost in New York.

However, the project consists of the trailer alone and is not playable.
