In 1999, the song Californication by the funk rock band Red Hot Chilli Peppers swept through the music charts on TV like a hurricane. The song has become an evergreen for the bands, undoubtedly one of their most popular tracks. In addition to the catchy melody, the video itself was also made famous by its visual processing. It featured individual band members as heroes in a non-existent video game. But that's not quite the case anymore, because thanks to one developer, you too can now play the game from the legendary video.

Video clip, which has over nine hundred million views on YouTube, was turned into a real-life video game by developer Miguel Camps Orteza. She was troubled by the fact that the game still didn't exist that summer. However, twenty-three years after the release of the video clip, it finally became a reality. In the video itself, we move between a number of different environments and genres. Orteza solved this by choosing seven environments and creating seven separate levels based on them.

Of course, Orteza is facing a copyright problem. The game thus omits the letter "r" in its name, and you won't even see the legendary song itself in the program. At least the developer gets around this fact by letting you use in-game buttons to play the original song and its various cover versions separately in your browser.
