This is a synopsis of the first Press Start movie. The movie starts with an Animated Credits Opening resembling several old, low-graphics video games. Scrolling Text explains the setting: that it takes place in a world very similar to modern Earth, except things like monsters from video games exist in it, and that it has been mostly conquered by an evil sorcerer named Lord Vile. The opening sequence of the live-action part –with a paperboy on a bicycle hitting people with newspapers- is a homage to the video games Paperboy and Burger Time.
