Iron Maiden create retro arcade game

Speed Of Light gets the 8-bit treatment

Published 28th Aug 2015

We've said it before, and we'll say it again: Iron Maiden do things proper!
Not content with getting a massive new Ed Force One for a huge 2016 tour, or Bruce personally flying lucky listeners out to Paris to listen to the full album 'The Book Of Souls', the band have now released a video game to accompany single 'Speed Of Light'!

The attention to detail is great, with a full 8-bit rendition of 'Speed Of Light' humming along in the background - if you're playing this at work, make sure you're wearing your headphones (and maybe have a spreadsheet on in the background so you can switch when your boss walks by)!

Fans can go to speedoflight.ironmaiden.com to play the retro arcade, based on the video-game-themed 'Speed Of Light' video, which you can watch below!

'The Book Of Souls' is released on 4th September 2015, and is Maiden's first double album.
