We've gathered up some fun stuff from the 'net. Some of it is
gaming related, some of it is off-topic, but all of it is right up our alley.
I Love Egg
Reminiscent of the Kikkoman advertisement (see below) and clearly
"straight from Japan", you'll quite likely find yourself singing this
song in the most inopportune moments of your life after viewing this.
You've been warned. For more info, check out the site of origin

Long Lost Commercials
We've uncovered an original VHS of Atari 2600 video game commercials
that NONE of us have ever actually seen aired. The quality is pretty
good so we converted them to MPG files and uploaded them to the DP media
server. Special thanks to Greg Bendokus for converting these to quality
MPEGs!
These are LARGE files.
Plays great with Windows Media Player!

Badger, Badger, Badger
Some things simply defy definition and yet are completely and utterly
cool. Well, you've got badgers aplenty, the occasional mushroom, and a
SNAKE! This little web-chant is rather catchy and unforgettable. You
have been warned.

Strategy Guide: Ghosts 'n Goblins
Guido is back to share his thoughts on the Nintendo NES version of

lots of laughs, including an insight into the heritage of Guido himself.
It's hysterical, you MUST watch. When you're done, check out the official website:

Super Mario Splat
Really short gag. It might make you laugh, it might make you groan,
but either way it's short =)

Mega Man Titanium Rhapsody
"Several weeks ago, I was sitting in the train, listening to some
random songs I'd loaded into my MP3 player, and Bohemian Rhapsody
played. I'd been dabbling with the idea of doing a new Mega Man
music video, and now started imagining Mega Man 7 sprites mouthing
along to the words of this song. It made me giggle. Though it was on a
whim, I started work on it and it took me weeks to finish. And now, I
don't even know for sure if anyone besides myself will find it the least
bit amusing. Well, in the unlikely event that you too like both Queen
music and Mega Man games, have a look at it."

MAMEjump
Any fan of the 80's will instantly identify with this tribute to
platformers and games that feature a "jump" button. Belted out
in classic style by Donkey Kong, who sounds an awful lot like David Lee
Roth, a whirlwind of classic video game screens await. Great fun.

Breakout 360
By Walter Faas, www.zootebroodejes.nl
You know the original, here's a really nice update to that, the paddle
spins around the block all Tempest-like. No more using the walls to your
advantage, now you've REALLY gotta work for the angles!

Flash Astrosmash
By RetroFlash Studios. The original Intellivision classic is emulated
par excellence here. Use the Enter button to start a game, the keyboard
arrows to direct left and right, and the space bar to shoot. Then prepare
to be absorbed into hours upon hours of mindless fun!

MDM3
By Randy Solem (www.videogamedc.com). Well, you get Mario and the
princess... you get a few Toads. And even a Koopa or two. But most
importantly, you get them groovin' to a bunch of 80's dance rap!

Kikkoman
I wish I could credit someone, the whole thing is in Japanese. So if
you know who's responsible for this unbelieveably funny bit of
advertising, please let me know. The best part of this is that you'll
laugh your ass off at the video but the product theme song is gonna be
stuck in your head for quite some time. Sorry about that.

Harder Better Faster Stronger
By Daft Punk. Hoppin' music video featuring some familiar NES
characters (apparently the main singer is Alex from River City Ransom
fame). Catchy tune. The load time is a bit much if you're not on
broadband, but you'll be tapping your feet to this one if you're willing
to wait for it.

Pong Movie
By Oska Software. Hysterical "vision" of the world within the
simple boundaries of Pong. Lots of cartoon violence!

Mario Twins
A very (intentionally?) amateurish production featuring two guys
"singing" the Mario Bros. theme songs while rather crudely
animated graphics play in your window. Along the way a cat will get hit
with poop. Weird, funny stuff. Music by Group X and art by Keith McKnight.

Zelda Movie
By an anonymous author. Have a look at all the trouble Link has gotten
into since his 8-bit NES adventures! Some good stuff here.

Vintage Nintendo Commercials
The ultimate in 80's soft-core corn - overacting teens ready to explode
with delight in front of their Nintendo Entertainment Systems. It's
understandable... they had R.O.B. and games like Duck Hunt and Hogan's
Alley! Anything could happen. Anything.
