Remember when FFXIV first came out? -humor/joke-

Haha, I almost wonder what everyone would say if we actually had an MMO like that? Perhaps make a dungeon or raid where we get turned into 16 bit for the fight?

There was a Rising event minigame a few years ago called 'the Cheap Dungeon', which was a first-person perspective 8-bit dungeon crawler (complete with limited four-direction movement, 8-bit MIDI synthesis music (appropriately called Wizardry on the OST) and very basic late 80s/early 90s era pixel graphics), hunting 'bugs' (as in, computer bugs - it makes sense in context) which was probably the closest we've gotten to something like that. But then, the Rising is very meta and fourth-wall breaking anyway so it made sense.
