Amazingly well done, the kid w/ leucemia was a very nice touch… 😛
I hope they got college credit for that — it looked like a ton of work.
But funny. I hadn’t seen half the games though — and they looked like oldies.
But, yes, I’ll admit it — I wish games had a super easy mode.
I can’t get past level one on most games and I don’t like violence so I haven’t played a game since the PS1. I did like the “Need for Speed” games on that machine.
Although contra was already super easy if you entered up up down down left right left right b a and start.
#3 – The Konami Code! Made a lot of games super easy.
#2 – Yeah, several were oldies, I definitely remember BattleToads.
Pretty sure this is all of them in order..
Sonic 1
Tetris
Duck Hunt
Pac-Man
Qbert
The Legend of Zelda
Mario Kart
Battletoads
Space Invaders
Contra
PunchOut!
Wii Fit
Pong
Mortal Kombat
Classic games > new games
I could maybe name one or two games if they did this video with nothing but newer games.
I wish games were on the ABILITY side.
Teach the kids something.
Love the Battle Toads and Pong one. That Battle Toad sequence is extremely difficult lol.
My favorites: Pac-Man and Space Invaders! lol Oh and Tennis made me laugh too!
Wish I could get some older games like Legend of Zelda for the iPad or iTouch. It took days to finish that game…
Wow, reminds me of the modern American school system.
Bah, back when I was a kid we spent MONTHS on Metroid and Zelda. Kids today just aren’t taught patience, and controller hurling fury, that comes with playing a game that assumes only a small fraction of users will gut it out to the end.
Modern games are often super easy. Ever put a couple of hours into a game and it suddenly finishes(any CoD single player campaign)? Or discover the single move which allows you to beat every opponent easily(Assassins Creed)?
