Well, 749 games in 13:45 actually... not counting the intro and special
thanks. This video was created in celebration of the 25th Anniversary of the Nintendo Entertainment System's release in the United States:
October 18, 1985.

Or, if you'd prefer to go straight to youtube...



Enjoy!

    Nice!

    Very nice video! Now all you have left to do is put captions on each so we know which games they are image
  • AirlockAirlock
    I actually thought about doing that, but man... that would be rough.

    Edit: I may end up doing annotations eventually anyway... if youtube can handle that many!


    I did, however, create this document for the time being!

    I think my final game count was 753.

    I'm super-curious which 4 (not counting Stunt Kids) you played and I didn't. Or... did you get Stunt Kids to work after all? I'm sure this will probably be difficult to figure out.

    Did you play anything that would apply to what I excluded:

    Releases excluded due to being redundant: Donkey Kong Classics (see Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Jr.) Punch-Out!! (see Mike Tyson's
    Punch Out!!), Bubble Bath Babes (see Mermaids of Atlantis), Myriad
    6-in-1 (see Caltron 6-in-1), Stadium Events (see World Class Track
    Meet), and Sunday Funday (see Menace Beach). Also excluded: Tengen games
    which were released under the same title twice (i.e. RBI Baseball, Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man), Famicom and PAL
    exclusives, Wii imports, homebrews, pirates and/or prototypes.

    ?

    Edit: I would also like to know if this video induces flashbacks for you, Pat. I started capturing for it on Saturday afternoon, right along side your marathon. You got away from me around the letter G or H or something because I can't go non-stop for that freakin' long!

    Nice video! image There are so many nice NES games that I havn't played yet.



    Pat played Sunday Funday.

    Thanks for putting it up. image

    Thanks everybody! Thanks also to Dain for finding this worthy of NA homepage mention!
  • ScumBumScumBum
    love the video and music !!

    I just nostalgia'd my shorts!



    I had totally forgotten about Monster In My Pocket. I remember renting that for like a week straight when I was a kid. I must have been like 11 or 12 years old at the time. I remember really enjoying it, but I don't think I've played it since.



    Also, seeing Color a Dinosaur just made me immediately think "Oh my god, what a piece of crap..."
  • sessizsessiz
    Damn, I gotta get dragon spirit. I forgot all about that game until I saw it in this video.

    Wow, that was so super-awesome! I loved the music choice, and it was great to see all of the different NES games. I jumped whenever it was a game that I knew image

    Pat played Sunday Funday.


    I have to admit, for me it was the opposite.  I never realized just how many NES games I actually played.   It was like a scene from Johnny Mnemonic.  All the sudden, I just started remembering.  Cool experience and video.

    Even the shitty games look awesome when put together like that. I suppose that's how they made them look good back in the TV Ad's, by making fast flashing shots with awesome music!
  • ElijahElijah
    Wow, I think i'm dizzy

    What's the game at like 3:05?

    With the ninja (samurai probably?) and the bamboo background?

    I remember playing that game a REALLY long time ago.



    Also, I hate being at work so I can't share this on my Facebook.

    A really good job. Must've taken a long time.



    Gotta love Battle Chess.

    If I didn't know the game better, I would think it was a still-frame! LMAO!

    I think you're referring to Demon Sword.

    Nice looking video. There were many games in it that I reconized

    I just wanted to point out that the Licensed releases predate the actual unlicensed Tengen releases. They tried to play by NoA's rules and couldn't live with them. The dates on Tengen boards/chips can't be trusted.

    Wow, I can't believe I never knew that! image

    Thanks Dan!

    Edit: I guess that sentence could be read two ways, though... the Tengen games were "released later". Obviously, that's totally not what I meant though. image

    I changed the language on it to say "Tengen games that were released under the same title twice".

    Still not a perfect way of putting it, but pheh... it should make sense to anyone who is concerned.

    Awesome!



    The 4th tune, the gremlins one sounds like Mr. Bungle.
  • AirlockAirlock
    The other song by XOC during the "Special Thanks" always reminds me of Zappa.

    XOC is one interesting dude. He seems to use a lot of different instruments.


    Btw, this video got Kotaku'd this afternoon! Lots of good discussion going on over there too...
