    Excitebike: "are these live players?" That's adorable. When that game came out the idea of being able to remotely play games with others wasn't even a thought to most people in the world. There were probably a few intranet (private networks like colleges) chess games by then, and some text based BBS (Bulletin Board System) games, but that's about it.

    When I was a kid in the early to mid '90s at my family reunion my great grandmother and my great aunt would battle each other in Dr Mario...
    And it was an event!
    The whole family gathered around and watched!
    What night that was was one of the first things planned when we got there... And sometimes there would be rematch nights, there would be snacks and cheering, and my grandmother would start practicing months before the reunion!
    It was so much fun.

    I played all these games. The best thing about the 80s is that everybody who grew up in the 80s played all the same games and watched all the same movies and TV shows and listened to all the same songs. There's so much stuff made today that everybody plays/watches/listens to different things. You lose that sense of community.

    Being born in 1980, I grew up with the Atari and the NES so this video brought me back. As a kid I mastered almost every one of these games (except Baloon Fight) and had a blast. I have an NES Emulator with these roms and the original NES packed up with about 100 games in storage I'm keeping for my kids. Awesome video.

    Dude the coolest part of Excite Bike was creating your own level... actually a bunch of NES games had this feature, probably because the graphics were so limited in creation, they would just give the player the ability to do it themselves. But for this game, creating a whole bike level was sick.

      NES games where hard and unforgiving because most of the games where short and repetitive. I think 300kb was average game size. difficulty was good way to make games last longer. I think it was amazing how they could even make and fit all those amazing games under those size limits.

      There's 8 buttons. Up, down, left, right, select, start, A and B. If A or B doesn't do what you want and no other individual button does either (there's even a NES game where jump is on the down button); then you're SOL and have to try combinations or check the manual.

      @@leefischer5814 The d-pad is just a plastic rocker that restricts your ability to actuate the 4 underlying switches to any two adjacent switches at a time. From the hardware perspective they still function as four individual buttons and it is perfectly possible to actuate e.g. up and down buttons simultaneously e.g. if the d-pad is broken or if you remove the plastic cap or possibly on some terrible third party controllers. The point is that the games actually used directional buttons, select and start as buttons; not just A and B; often to very poor effect like jumping with up or activating some secondary fire with select.

    Background on the Konami code. It was created by the programmer responsible for converting Gradius from the arcade to the NES version and he found the game so impossible that he programmed in that cheat to give him full power ups just to get through it but then forgot to remove the code from the final product. Thus the Konami Code was born.

    you know, Joe, maybe you could've had these kids play Zelda, but like the old React Gaming episodes: them playing only Zelda and only up to a certain point (like guiding them to the first dungeon, like the manual teaches). same goes for other RPGs.
    by the way, when are they playing the old PS1 games?

    The very first time my brother and I played SMB2 when it came out, we had an old tv and that red door at the very beginning was 'off frame' so we spent literal hours just jumping all around running back and forth wondering what we were supposed to do. It was by simple button mashing that we accidentally went through the door (pressing up if I recall). Then FINALLY could start the game.

    Missed the obvious game. Metroid. That game on the NES was impossible.

      As much as I played OG Metroid as a kid, I revisited it recently and it didn't really age very well. Super Metroid on SNES is still one of the greatest games ever created though.

    • @Heldermaior
      @Heldermaior 19 дней назад

      @risksrewardsrelics51 that was the point. Throw them mega jank! Yeah Super Metroid is still the best Metroid inside of metroidvania. That game is almost perfect. Only thing I would do is tighten the crispiness of the controls. Other than that... Perfect exploration, secrets etc.

      Ghost and Goblins was impossible lol. Metroid was also difficult but very fun and you got to see much of the art design without dying every second or 2

      @D3M3NT3Dstrang3r dang totally forgot about ghosts and goblins. I think my brain buried those memories to try and protect itself from PTSD. XD
      Metroid for me as a kid was just getting lost, no idea where I was going or what I was doing, every abstract mess.
