Early '80s videogames are schweeeeet. That's why G4 is making a show about them.
Code Monkeys is an innovative animated comedy from Adam de la Pena, the creator of Minoriteam and a writer on The Man Show and The Jimmy Kimmel Show, that tells the stories of old-school game coders Dave and Jerry, whose wacky, surreal adventures are told through Super Nintendo style videogame art.
"They live in a world where anything can happen," de la Pena said, adding that there will be visual allusions to a host of '80s videogames. That means lots of extra laughs for those who are down with gaming.
De la Pena will be writing and directing each episode, as well as providing the voice for one of the main characters.
Look for 14 episodes of Code Monkeys this Spring, and check back here for all the details and an inside look at the program.
