Secret video game tricks, codes, and strategies part 6 of 6

[iceveiled]

Thanks for posting these! It was a fun trip down memory lane. I rented this back in the NES days (I'm 32) and it was a trip to watch it again, in 2011. Good old NES, such an icon. Mine still works to this day, it's an amazingly resilient piece of hardware. I somehow doubt my PS3/360 will still work 25 years from now.

When I finally beat Karnov a few years ago, I wanted to punch something. Worst ending ever

[lordiisawsome23]

well i just waste about an hour.....

[kazthebastard]

Wow, the Castlevania 2 code is so fucking fail. 61 hours into the game, not all the items collected.. Fail, pure and simple fail...

[Luigi84289]

wow that guy reading off the password talks REALLY slow. lol

[meowmix669]

5:50 BAD END lol

[Sephiroth5008]

7:33 - 7:39

I feel sad now...

So much failure, in just a few seconds...

[chosentonessournotes]

How old is this fucking Donn dude? He sounds like he's in his 30s, easily.

[YakkSoho]

Written by STEVE HARRIS in his secret double-life! Run to the hills, people!

[AshtonTheDemon]

i also want to point out, if they are so good, why couldnt they perform the tricks ON THE SPOT?! when i was 4 i could do better than that. Just...plain....sad.

I maybe wrong about this but in addition to ruining your cartridges, that mess up your save trick, also can destroy your NES as well.

[BigBangBlitz]

My friend broke his doing something like that, but he was using a game genie too, so I don't know exactly.

[snakes3425]

In order to break into the market and seperate the NES from the failed consoles of Atari, Nintendo used defective material in creating the NES's connector pins and the ZIF Connector, both of which can easily break and corrode with repeated insertion and removal of cartridges. Apparently Game Genies could damage the NES's connector pins and ZIF so badly that it wouldn't work without a game genie present

[BigBangBlitz]

I was not aware of that. I guess the childhood fear of destroying my NES by using Galoob's Game Genie wasn't so irrational after all.

[snakes3425]

The Top Loading NES is more reliable then the gray box but the Game Genie required a special adapter to fit into the new deck or it ran the risk of getting jammed in the cartridge slot

[macadameane]

@snakes3425 I never had issues with this.  It was usually because the pins were dirty. They clean pretty well.

[921144666]

where are these 3 guys now i wonder...

[BigBangBlitz]

Donn went on to work on a number of games for a variety of companies and is currently employed at TDK mediactive.

Jim - I dunno.

Shane may or may not be in a band.

[jiminboo]

Who is that dork at minute 7:45? What did he see? I think he just saw a mirror after getting that totally rad haircut :D

[snakes3425]

I love the ending, especally when the pre-recorded Double Dragon actually rewinds when the camera is still shooting.

[BigBangBlitz]

I love the part where Donn explains in detail the best way to corrupt your saves and damage your cartridges.

Why didn't they leave those segments in the main video?

[snakes3425]

That has got to be the dumbest Stratagy-Hint-Trick ever.

[snakes3425]

Can I enquire who in their right mind would even use that trick? Also who's the brainless idiot that came up with that tirck in the first place?

[WillSerenity]

I have that Simon's Quest password tattooed into my memory. I can't forget it if I tried, lol. I think I'm gonna put it on my tombstone :D

[xXbelmontXx]

Lol dude this is like so retro. Nice tho... makes me remember the old days.

[BigBangBlitz]

Yeah they were pretty horrible.

We had some pretty good games back then though.

[xXbelmontXx]

The best games were back then.Now its all about graphics , not to mention theres WAY too much rpg's and fps's on the market today , its ridiculous. Thats why i dont buy new-gen consoles , i stick to my good old stuff.

[BigBangBlitz]

Not to beat a dead horse, but you can find some really quality game even now, even if I find myself wholly disappointed in one game, there's usually another one that blows me away. Trackmania and Smash Brothers and things like that.

Though lately, I find myself gravitating to independent games. More and more are being made and their quality seems to jump exponentially.

I think games could be great right now, but it's clear most developers lack focus.

[flyestone420]

lol all u fucks are nerds but those games are classic.

[nesjuggalo]

These guys are the bomb. This was clearly back in the day when video games were cool.

[KurosTheIronCladGod]

video games are still cool.

you must have you head up your ass

[nesjuggalo]

Not quite. Back in the day, they were just a "tad" better. Their was even cartoons of the games and the games themselves weren't as complicated and weren't gimmicky. I'd play a game of SMB3 over Halo anyday. You must have cock up your ass.

[sternfan75]

you got the worst ending on castlevania 2, should have used the golden knife on drac; kills much faster.

[BigBangBlitz]

Thanks for the SUPER TIP!

One day, you could become a member of the U.S. National video-game team too!

[sprinter82]

That password doesn't even give you -everything-, despite what they said [one of the knives are missing]. Now what's up with that?

[BigBangBlitz]

This was back before golden knives were invented.

[talbot1939]

lol you're bad. :)

Stop teasing him, he's only 28!

[machine134]

I want to be a member of the U.S. National Video Game Team.

[XTHHaseo]

And this show looks OLD. No offense.

[figment1988]

wow, i feel sorry for anyone who were waiting to see the sneak preview for taboo. it not even a game. it's a shabby fortunetelling game whose cards make no sense unless you're into that kind of stuff
