Many nerds are overflowing with creativity, so it only makes sense that a geek wedding would be announced with a playable 8-Bit style flash game.
The game is called ‘Save the Date,’ and was programmed by the groom, Barry Abrams. The game has gamers and wedding invitees playing the role of the groom as he must navigate perilous levels and clever obstacles to get to his wedding. When he arrives and the critical moment comes for people to object to the union, none other than a massive robot comes in with a few objections of his own.
The game in question is completely playable in a web browser, and is not only an adorable way to announce a geek wedding, but is surprisingly polished and fun to play.
