Video Games
When I was a kid, I used to get flat and calloused “Nintendo thumbs” from playing Super Mario World for hours on end. Man, I loved that game!
I have an emulator on my PC and can still play it (and I do so occassionally, along with another classic, Lemmings), but nothing will recapture the thrill and satisfaction of beating a level for the first time and opening up a completely new and surprising adventure.
I came across the following video yesterday of a hacked version of SMW. The hacker got his friend, a very skilled gamer, to give it a go and he got a bit more than he bargained for. The hacker is evil! It brought back fond memories of my own gameplay… wait, did I say fond? I guess if you count screaming at the TV and spewing expletives as “fond”…
Afterwards, I came across video of a popular though relatively-unknown game called “I Wanna Be The Guy.” Talk about insane! The following is NOT a hacked version:
Next: Let’s go, Red Sox!
