Watch Aussie Streamers Serve-Up Retro-Gaming Greats With Macca’s Big Mac Throwback

Retro themed streams and Team PWR do the Big Mac Chant.

This article is written in partnership with McDonald’s.

Ready for some tasty retro-gaming flashbacks, with a side-order of speed running? That’s what Macca’s and a group of star studded streamers are serving up with the Big Mac Throwback, an unmissable set of streams kicking off this Thursday 2nd May.

As part of Macca’s mission to bring back the Big Mac Chant – “Two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, on a sesame seed bun“ – Aussie gamers including Team PWR members will be diving into some classic games from the ‘80s, ‘90s, ‘00s and ‘10s. A celebration of the best in gaming and burgers, it promises to be a wild ride for the streamers and viewers alike.

After all, Overstrand, Nalopia and company might be wizards at Fortnite, Rocket League and other recent games, but what happens when they’re plunged into the past? Can they handle Pac-Man, Ninja Gaiden or any other classics they choose, with only chat to help them out?

The streamers will also share their gaming firsts, the games and consoles that helped turn them into the pro creators they are today. They’ll be asking viewers to reveal theirs, which could be your chance to give a shout-out to some unsung gaming heroes. Here’s when and where you can watch these retro-themed streams:
