A leading UK charity, Alzheimer's Research UK, has launched a retro arcade-style game to help people better understand the science behind Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia. 

The game, named Amyloids after the harmful amyloid protein that builds up in the brain and contributes to the disease, is based on the retro arcade games of the 1970s and 80s.
