You Forgot To Hit Pause...

"Inspired by 'Go Right'

An homage dedicated to the Super Nintendo & my childhood. The idea of the video is as the title suggests. The sprites that are featured in the video are seen in their idle animations or left alone to be pummeled, etc. I tried fitting in as many games as I could that featured sprites in a classic side-scrolling style. Besides being zoomed in, all of the footage is in it's original emulated state/speed without manipulation..."

This made me really nostalgic. Not just the pixel art, but the music too.

Playing the SNES in a video game haze to a background of melancholic 90's rock, buoyant punk and grunge apathy; smoking too much; drinking cheap beer and vodka (and whatever else we could get our hands on).

Waking up on an old sofa chair bathed in dimly flashing colours and quiet, looping chip music.

Super Metroid; Prince of Persia; A Link to the Past; Secret of Mana; Mortal Kombat and Super Mario Kart.

Spider-Man and Wolverine comics, and Kerrang! on the floor.

And an otherwise, abject poverty.

Seems like another life now.

I'd like to see other platforms like IBM PCs, Apple 2, Atari 2600, etc.

Amiga!

If you are going to restrict the video to a certain "genre" make it 16 bit in general. Many of these games were not exclusive to the Super NES. I won't be upvoting this for the lack of a VERY IMPORTANT idle animation that was missing - Sonic the Hedgehog.

If "amigo" is friend, is "Amiga" girlfriend? Did our generation get trolled on that one?

Geeks/Nerds wanted female friends.

I heard that it occasionally caused confusion in Spanish speaking countries... like saying Dan is playing with his Amiga in his room (Grandma faints).

They changed the name of the vic-20 to vc-20 in German speaking countries because the original is rude in German, but kept Amiga as-is.
