Thanks to the modern conveniences of emulators and roms I am able to play all of the Nintendo games I could never afford as a kid, and beat all of the games that I had long considered impossible. Playing through these games has been an eye-opening experience. Many of them include bizarre design decisions forced upon the developers by the constraints of the primitive hardware. According to popular lore, Mario ended up being a plumber because it was easier to draw and animate him with a mustache and overalls. Many games were designed in Japan for an American audience, and then seemingly translated by picking words randomly out of an English dictionary. These games always have ninjas. There are also games that weren't available when I was a kid. In the years since video game emulation took off thousands of hacked versions of old games have popped up. These usually fit into one of these categories: games featuring Mario smoking a joint, games featuring crude, pixelated nudity, and games featuring Wilford Brimley. My goal is to play all of these games and present them to you as a sort of train derailment that you can rubberneck by.
