  • GAME OVER, the first two words I learned in English. Thanks video games!

  • THIS IS ART!

  • I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad, but this is the only time I have ever felt bad seeing the deaths of 8-bit characters. Everything will fall into ruin because they failed to save the day.

  • It's the song used in Donnie Darko, isn't it?

  • @Mussul That was the cover by Gary Jules, which I feel captures the meaning best, but the original has a better feel to it. Adam Lambert's version is crap though.

  • Love MAd World! Excellent version! :D

  • Game at 1:15 is.....?

  • oh my... after 2 minutes i realized it's mad world by gary jules

  • love ZAXXON!!!!!

  • You do not know anyone game in which you play as a prisoner before fleeing police. After a little map which is full of sand or clay, walls, etc., and the prisoner is doing through walls, clay, sand, etc. of the tunnel, and they run the police, but one that can do carriageway within the tunnel, and you win when you find a key hidden and east coasts . In tunneling, you must beware of boulders that could fall on you or that interferes with your journey. It's a very old game.

  • It makes me cry....

  • GENIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

  • Anybody remember that game "Soul blazer" for SNES? I wish they would remake that nowadays .. Hours of lost hours as a child.

  • this song is like an 8 bit version of mad world (that song from gears of war)

  • @EIGHTofSPAD3S I wish I could slap you right now...

  • @TicoMachi i know it isnt just sounded alot like it :P

  • @EIGHTofSPAD3S Well no, you were right in the sense that it is Mad World. But wrong for saying that the song came from Gears of War.

  • Could someone help me find a game I used to play as a child?

    I don't remember much from it, except that it was a 2D platformer, for the MegaDrive or Arcade, I think. It had something like an epic characteristic into it, lots of different monsters and the stages were shown in some kind of map, like one of those old 15th century european maps, one of the stages in the map had the sun or moon on it. Its driving me nuts the fact that I dont remember it.

  • @BMJoao I'm trying to figure out is this is a joke about Castlevania or not...

  • @nipponese hum it's not, I really am trying to find a game which title I forgot

  • What's that game at 1:45?? It's driving me nuts!

  • Nevermind... Hippodrome

  • @joshuajararuse I think it's the arcade version of "Kung-Fu Master." Though the NES game called Kung Fu is pretty close.

  • Unreasonably moving...

  • I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad …
