To celebrate National Video Game Day on Sept. 12 (yes, it’s a thing), we’ve compiled the best video game-themed music videos, from the ‘80s up to now. And all are worthy of multiple plays.

15. Buckner & Garcia feat. Jace Hall – “Pac-Man Fever (Eat ‘Em Up)”

A couple months ago, a new music video for a 2015 remix of Buckner & Garcia’s 1982 arcade-pop classic about having a pocketful of quarters and heading to the arcade premiered on Yahoo Music, in conjunction with the theatrical release of Pixels. True, video games cost way more than a quarter now, and arcades don’t even really exist anymore. But, this video has its old-school charms.

14. Iron Maiden – “Speed of Light”

In a statement, the British metal gods described this video as an homage “to four decades of video gaming, juxtaposed alongside Iron Maiden’s 40 years of incredible visuals centering on their talisman, Eddie, as he travels through space and time to complete his Herculean task.” Sounds pretty cool to us.

13. DJ Yoda featuring Scroobius Pip – “Sega RIP”

“What happened to Sega?” Scroobius laments. Answer: The classic ’90s console has been immortalized, or maybe eulogized, in this angry but ultimately nostalgic rap.

12. Architecture in Helsinki – “Do the Whirlwind”

The members of this Aussie alt-rock collective morph into 16-bit characters, thanks to brilliant pixel artist Paul Robertson, in this adorable clip.

11. New Politics – “West End Kids”

In this recently released tour de force, the Danish pop-rockers battle Fall Out Boy, Mortal Kombat-style, with Panic! At the Disco‘s Brendon Urie at the controls. These guys have got game!

10. James Durbin – “Parachute” (Lyric Video)

This loving and faithful tribute to retro arcade games like Donkey Kong, Super Mario Brothers, and Space Invaders celebrates the American Idol Season 10 finalist’s love of all things ’80s. The clip is just as addictive as the video games it references.

9. Junior Senior – “Move Your Feet”

Danish musicians sure love their video games, huh? There is so much Nintendo goodness in this early-2000s classic by Denmark’s most playful pop duo.

8. Goldfish – “We Come Together”

Brought you by “Fishtendo,” this South African dance duo crams a jillion old-skool game references into this dazzling clip, from Pitfall to Q-Bert to Angry Birds. This one is a real Achievement Unlocked!

7. Gunship – “Revel in Our Time”/“The Mountain” (tie)

Gunship is the weird-science brainchild of Alex Westaway and Dan Haigh, of the British alt-rock band Fightstar. Westaway and Haigh describe their future-shockingly retro project as a “neon-soaked, late-night, sonic getaway drive, dripping with luscious analog synthesizers, cinematic vocals, and cyberpunk values, exploding from the front cover of a dusty plastic VHS case which has lain forgotten since 1983.” Well, that’s apt. Gunship’s two videos from their self-titled album basically look like they’ve been run through Lisa Frank’s graphic design software and turned into Commodore 64 screensavers. And that’s a compliment, by the way.
