Wow! Another batch of videos? I don’t think a weekend will suffice for all of the videos that I’ve scheduled to watch. But I think these ones are great simply because they’re under my favorite category – GADGETS. Yum! Yum!

Whoa, if these demo’s are for real these guys are awesome. I’d love to know where they find the time to do this!

I’d love to see how quickly someone can crack the good old “Golden Axe” from yesteryears. I remember when I was a kid and watched in awe at the local arcade as some older kid made it to the end of Golden Axe on just one life! I was mesmerized! And he finished it in record time, if I remember (well… I was mesmerized.) Shortly after, I popped my money into that machine and tried myself to see how far I would get… not very far.

We did eventually get Golden Axe on PC and that was fairly easier than the original arcade game. I was a bit older, though.

Ah… the good old days of computing. How I miss Golden Axe and Police Quest!

I was never particularly impressed by speed demos, because anyone (it seems) could make one — it just involves using an emulator that allows you to freeze the game and back up every time you make a mistake, until you have put together the “perfect” game…. they are cool in a way, though, the Super Mario World one was definitely fun to watch.

xpilot, xtank, xblast (networked bomberman)… some nerd friends of mine still play netrek, too.

What made me comment, though, was Time Pilot. There was one of those in my dorm lobby in high school. Our only arcade game. (The boys’ dorm had Time Soldier and some golf game.) So many hours staring at it in conversation.

Thank you Matt for helping me fritter away the last 90 minutes of my life. A heady mix of nostalgia and awe right there.

On a similar theme, Youtube has a selection of ‘combo’ videos, featuring various uber-players of Street Fighter racking up ridiculous multi-hit combos on their unsuspecting opponents.

I miss having a daytime job to pay me to watch things like this. I could spend a few days watching all those classic games. My favorite was always Mario Party…my friends and I would play that game until the sun came up.
