Lol, I don't understand a damn thing of Hungarian, but the music video is funny. Often you hear 8 bit music incorporated into music, but not retro graphics in the actual video like this. :laughing

I had a whole lot of Ocean games back in the 64 days because I loved the Ocean Loader music so much. Robocop was a crappy game though, but the music was great.
