MegaMash, retro videogame mashup

MegaMash: someone got some R-Type in my Mario! And then got some Bomerman in my R-Type/Mario! And then they got some Tetris... you see where I'm going with this. Review at Play This Thing.

Prediction: The mash-up generation is going to be absolute crap at waxing nostalgic.

"I can remember the time the Beastie Boys first played 'Let It Be.' It was the summer of that Pink Floyd musical, what was it called - oh yeah, 'The Wizard of Oz.' Everyone was playing Nitrometris and wearing skorts, and... no I do NOT need to take my meds!"

BTW, love the fact that the game console in the intro has a slider to go from 8- to 16-bit.

Ha! I love these, even though they corrupt my nostalgia, as Hardcore Poser suggests. Another worth playing: ROM Check Fail.

Dang, had me going thru my Nintendo games looking for some eroge Bonerman title. Imagine my disappointment when my brain caught up with my dyslexia.

Mash-up/mixup culture is a corrosion and a perversion of true art, especially when it comes to music.

OTOH, Nitrome do awesome graphics, so I can't wait to play this.

BlackLeotardFront: "Another worth playing: ROM Check Fail."

Seconded; thanks for that - very fast-paced and not as easy as MegaMash. It wasn't obvious what the full-screen key combo was for ROM Check Fail so I'll mention it now: Alt-Enter. It's too tiny to play windowed.

The term you are looking for is 'douche chill'.
