Single father Jeff (Creator/LochlynMunro) cleans out boxes of his old stuff to get his mind off the rift that his wife's recent death has formed between him and his teenage son Dave (Connor Wong). Inside one particular box, Jeff rediscovers his old UsefulNotes/Atari2600 and his childhood video game cartridges, including his personal favorite game, ''Weird Wednesday''. Overcome with happiness and nostalgia, Jeff rushes upstairs to show the game to Dave as a means to bond with him, though Dave is more interested in ''Sentinel Strike'', the modern first-person shooter he's playing with his friends. Jeff tells his son that he had the highest score in the Southwest US and almost became the national champion of ''Weird Wednesday'' back in the 80s, if only the championship wasn't canceled and all the game's copies weren't pulled off the shelves and buried in the desert. Noting his father's intentions for quality time, Dave allows Jeff to start up the game as a means to humor him. Dave discovers that ''Weird Wednesday'' is an 8-bit side scroller where the player character must make their way across town without dying, while objects and hazards that become increasingly difficult to avoid are thrown in their way. Though his father dies early on from his lack of experience, Dave quickly dies and continues to do so repeatedly, realizing that Jeff was right about how the game is immensley difficult. Jeff tries telling him the unfairness of the game is the whole point, and that no one's made it to the final level because of the difficulty level.

* ArtisticLicenseArt: Despite ostensibly being on an UsefulNotes/Atari2600, ''Weird Wednesday'' looks and plays a lot more like an [[Platform/NintendoEntertainmentSystem NES]] game. Among other things, it pauses, has a menu screen, and has a scoreboard.

* ProductPlacement: Though it's logo isn't present, it's obvious that Jeff owns an UsefulNotes/Atari2600 that he used to play ''Weird Wednesday'' on all the time. Numerous other retro game systems are present in the background of the characters' houses.
