Welcome to Video Works, a weekly video retrospective survey of post-Atari-crash console and portable game history. Currently, my primary focus is NES Works, a chronological survey of the American NES library, a Segaiden, a companion piece that focuses on Sega consoles beginning with the SG-1000. Each video takes us through the history a different gaming platform by examining its library game-by-game, in chronological order, highlighting the design and creation of each game while also explaining the context of its release to help convey what made that game special (or, sometimes, not special).
If you'd like to support these ventures, though, you can contribute to the Video Works Patreon campaign (www.patreon.com/gamespite). Or you can buy related books at Fangamer.net and LimitedRunGames.com. Thanks for watching!
If you missed Jeremy's appearance at the Portland Retro Game Expo, you can recreate the experience by playing this video at 1.25x speed. Every couple of minutes, pause it and play an 'All Clear' announcement in both Spanish and English about six times.
This is a great video, you just got one thing wrong--the arcade version of Wonder Boy in Monster Land actually does allow you to continue on every stage except the last one when you die, the Master System port just completely eliminated continues.
The building was evacuated around the time of your scheduled presentation because of a fire alarm. Not sure if you made it, but whether you did or not, you may want to head to a house of healing and pay the 5g for an uncurse.
It seems like people enjoyed the panel despite the terrible circumstances, so I'm grateful to everyone who stuck around through the tragicomedy of it all.
Hi Jeremy! I discovered your RU-vid channel because of your presentation today. It was really great stuff despite the circumstances. Your passion is infectious - you've earned yourself a subscriber!
There is hope for Bugs Bunny to return to the public eye. A new TV channel, MeTV Toons, recently launched, and they air three hours of Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies on weekdays... one hour in the morning, and two hours in prime time. It's on some streaming services, and also available for free over-the-air in most major cities. They also air classic MGM shorts, Walter Lantz cartoons, Columbia/UPA shorts, and an assortment of Hanna-Barbera shows. It's a much welcome TV channel for sure. As for Crazy Castle, I only ever played through the original Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle on the NES. I thought it was a fun time waster, and I remember playing through to the end. I even played through the other Kemco Bugs Bunny NES game, Birthday Blowout. That one was fine... but the choppy scrolling can hurt your eyes after a while.
I’m genuinely mystified by developers thinking kid won’t re-rent or buy games, but they’ll repeatedly rent an unfair game that’s not fun for most players.
May I point out that no matter how PC you are you can't deny the fact that Samus is wearing man's armor. So if anyone's sexist it's the engineers who made her armor. Or wait! Maybe it's a plot twist. The hero was murdered and his identity was assumed and his armor stolen!
@@JeremyParish If only. My friend Saturn Dave will be passing out free copies of their Saturn fanzine to all interested parties though, and that's more complimentary service from PRGE than you could ever expect from an airline.
I am one of those weirdos that loves Dr. Chaos. It is full of flaws but I find it an enjoyable experience. My rule is that I play it randomly without any guides or maps and make notes as needed. After a few years I forget everything so it is always a fresh experience.
I would love to meet you and get an autograph. Unfortunately it maybe a while until that day comes. If you ever happen to be in the Niagara region of Western New York and Southern Ontario I'll definitely buy everything you got and take you out for an amazing lunch somewhere.
It should be a compliment, since you share so much knowledge,infos and arts ;) You don't have to influence anyone, we just have to listen,learn and look for your references. And find the beauty you open us to. I call it culture (at its finest). Maybe we have a different definition of influencer here in Italy, connected with marketing and products. P.S: I hope one day you'll watch "top 50 videogames" by Opificio Ciclope (especially #18). It isnt a chart, it is a 25 years old arts movie that uses videogames to talk about us.
I love that you left in the mock up book coming apart. It’s funny. You’re at least C tier on RU-vid. You have multiple Paterons and an industry job. That legitimizes you.
Having played neither of these games what I can say is at a glance that I'd probably prefer King's Knight over Dino Riki. Partially because King's Knight let's you play as a dragon-man and I would have suffered even the final stage and it's "save each characters super-magic in order to solve an environmental puzzle you have no idea is coming"-trick if it meant playing a dino-man, partially because those enemy swarms in Dino Ricky seems like it's going way too fast and way too hard for child me. Still, looking forward to when we get the actually NEW Hudson-games down the line!
