Let's Play: Jay's ROM hacks!

When I realized kids were posting “Let’s Play…” videos of NES games on YouTube, I did a quick search… Yup! Someone did Ganon’s Revenge back in 2009. He slogs through 5 videos’ worth of the game, and at one point calls me a “jerk” for hiding the wooden sword. :) The whole series seems to have gotten about 200 viewers, too. I think he finally gave up after the fifth video, though. :( I was never proud of not being able to edit the dungeons, and it looks like he wasn’t impressed with that aspect. Ah, well.

Let’s Play - Ganon’s Revenge!

So then I search for Metroid X…

Holy crap! A 12-video playlist!

With quotes like this in the comments!

it was the first time I ever played any metroid game so I thought that metroid X was a real NES game made by nintendo, like a sequel or something.

After the the long awkward first screen I got into it, and I think I liked it more than the original.
