Anheuser-Busch is Anime Archivesresurrecting the "Bud Bowl" with a 21st-century twist.
The beer conglomerate launched a game within Snapchat's Discover panel on Friday modeled after the famous stop-motion campaign it aired in nearly every Super Bowl of the '90s.
The simple interactive ad will appear as part of the brand's takeover of ESPN's Discover portal ad space all day Friday as well as sporadically within several other publishers on the platform (including Mashable). After that, it can be found alongside stories about the NFL in any of the app's media outlets until next Wednesday.

Users pick from one of three plays at a time as they drive the ball down the virtual field with carefully timed taps.

The showdown isn't the only Super Bowl relic Anheuser-Busch is digging up for this year's big game. Bud Light's Super Bowl commercial will bring back retired canine mascot Spuds Mackenzie, who was last seen in 1989.
Snapchat has featured brand-sponsored games like this before, including an 8-bit tennis match with Serena Williams from Gatorade and an Under Armour ad in which users outran wolves as Cam Newton.

This year, major brands like Pepsi, Honda, Amazon and Verizon have all bought ads in various places within the app for the game.
