CyberLance26 Well yes, Zangief is Russian but Street Fighter 2 came out in 1991 which is the year the Soviet Union fell so that’s why it’s the USSR in that game.
I feel so bad for that poor figure skater. The sad music playing while she fails over and over. I want to learn how to play this game just so I can get her the score she deserves.
I'm sorry to break it to you, but the score system in figure skating is so broken that, maximum score I've seen people (and myself) archieve is an average 3.0 to 3.5. I wanted to make a 10 or a 9 but it's literally impossible. The judges are corrupt!!
That's actually analog distortion, which is actually really cool albeit expensive. Basically he isnt recording his audio to a computer specifically and is possibly running it through some kind of tape machine.
I love that at the end where there is peppy upbeat "Jingle Bells" music and the Nerd doing everything the game warns about... on of my favorite Nerd moments!
If Winter Games had been created today by EA or Activision, the first 4 olympic games would be in the actual disc and the rest would have been sold in $15 DLC.
It would be easier blindfolding yourself and tying your hands behind your back while wearing oven mitts, trying to hit the buttons on the controller. XD
Do not store in extreme temperatures, do not immerse in water, do not clean with benzene, thinner alcohol or other such solvents, do not hit or drop cartridge, do not attempt to disassemble.
Winter games was one of my favorite games on commodore, that torch scene in the beginning sounded glorious when played by the Commodore's VIC chip, definitely didn't want to skip it back then
This is imo the perfect "Nerd" episode, dunno if the best, but is definitely the one that sums all of the best things from the classic nerd episodes, even the faces he makes are absolutely brilliant.
9:16 • DO NOT STORE IN EXTREME TEMPERATURES. • DO NOT IMMERSE IN WATER. • DO NOT CLEAN WITH BENZENE THINNER ALCOHOL OR OTHER SUCH SOLVENTS. • DO NOT HIT OR DROP CARTRIDGE. • DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DISASSEMBLE.
I thought this would be a good time to watch this episode on the (Same) day of the Sochi Winter Olympic game event. After all... The Winter Olympic games always comes once every Four Years!
those carts were tough as shit. it was probably fine right up until the whole fire thing, and even then it could have survived right up until it was completely aflame
I think it's called "Hot Dog Aerials" because you're supposed to perform tricks (even if it's clunky as all hell and doesn't work.), and "Hot Dogger" is an old term for a person who is a show-off.
one of the final scenes of the movie depicts the girls flashing their tits to the ¨bad guy¨ in order to distract him so the ¨hero¨ can win the competition, it's an iconic scene that has been replicated in several other movies and tv series like beverly hills 902010
I would not be worried about the plastic melted, would be concerned about with toxic and malodorous vapors given off by polymers such as plastics or vulcanized rubber when burning.
Shit like this makes you realize just how advanced mario was for the time. I can't even fathom how contra and mario came from the same time as this garbage ass junk.
The funny thing is, some movie and TV directors still insist on having the actors pretend they're playing a video game, which fools absolutely no one. Especially if they're holding a PS3 or PS4 controller which both have power lights on the back to tell you when they're switched on.

The rage sounds from James hitting the game at 9:41 is freaking awesome.
I like the face he makes afterwards it's really funny
Played that on C64 and Amiga. On those machines it was actually pretty decent. Mostly because it's a game designed for joysticks rather than gamepads.
definitely was design for them console. and we all had big joysticks
Winter games was one of my favorite games on commodore, that torch scene in the beginning sounded glorious when played by the Commodore's VIC chip, definitely didn't want to skip it back then
