Loved the film Banshees of Inisherin? I’m glad I caught you actually, because there’s something I wanted to ask you actually, and finding out how much we have in common, just makes me want to ask you even more. Did you know there’s an 8-bit Banshees of Inisherin video game?
Yes, we’re serious, and you can play it right here.
It’s the adaptation we didn’t know we needed but somehow can’t stop playing, with beautiful 8-bit Nintendo NES-style music, and a quick Pac-Man-esque gameplay that sees you play as Colm (Brendan Gleeson) as you try to get away from your now ex-friend Padraic, which proves surprisingly difficult.
“I don’t want to be friends no more!” you can hear Colm’s voice say, as you run around the screen collecting your fingers before returning home.

Doing so, of course, is surprisingly difficult, so the best hint we can give you is to sometimes pause and wait for him to catch up in an opportune spot before rushing to the next finger and then home.
Banshees, of course, is one of the best movies of the last few years, Martin McDonagh’s masterpiece that was shut out at the 2023 Oscars in favor of a much more overrated film, despite the fact that Colin Farrell’s performance was far better than any other. Oh well, these things tend to be not so much about awarding the best, and often about narrative and campaign.
Ah well. Let’s forget it as we play this game over and over and over again. And then rewatch Banshees of Inisherin.
