You can play one of the ‘Black Mirror: Bandersnatch’ games

This isn’t the first time Netflix or even Black Mirror has hidden Easter eggs in its content. This time, it seems you can play one of the games featured in Bandersnatch, the first choose-your-own-adventure interactive film from the same universe. The movie features a fictional game development studio named Tuckersoft, which aims to become the “Motown of games.” And now one of the games, Nohzdyve, to be specific, is available to play right now. But you’ll need an emulator to play. There are a number to choose from, including Fuse, Qaop, and Speccy.

Nohzdyve was developed for the ZX Spectrum, a personal computer that was released in Britain in the early 1980s, which is the same time period in which the movie takes place. The time period is special to Black Mirror creator Charlie Brooker, who started working as a video games journalist. If you’re curious about the game, the Tuckersoft describes it as: You’re falling fast through the sky! Collect eyeballs and avoid the buildings and other hazards. Perfection is key. This was truly a five star game by none other than Colin Ritman (played by Will Poulter).
