    They actually have the same, or remixed music too. I have the cartridge for the NES Popeye game around here somewhere.

      I played Popeye once for the Atari 2600 many years ago as a little kid, and didn't realize that Nintendo made it until I was much older and saw it in an arcade walking by. I thought that was pretty cool.

        Announcement.

        I am in need of a picture for a later video, but I have failed to find what I am looking for thus far.

        I have searched for an image of a Super NES and TV. That would sound easy, but The image has to have a Super Scope sensor plugged in and set on top of the monitor.

        I would draw a diagram myself, but I have two left hands.
        If somebody could volunteer, I will give him/her full credit.

          I found a diagram, but you might be better off doing it yourself.

                  There was a Donkey King 3???

                  Kind of funny too how Mario never made an appearance in the DK Country series.

                    Yup, but I didn't know about it until I bought this one emulator thing in a mall once. It had a bunch of NES games, including one that was only released in Japan. That, and the "Afro Bros." hack of Mario Bros.

                    Kind of funny too how Mario never made an appearance in the DK Country series.
                    Cranky has obviously never gotten over the past.

                      Actually, he has a cameo at the end of DKC2, along with Yoshi and Link. It was this grandstand thing with first, second, and third places for how many DK emblems were collected.

                        That tells you how long it has been since I played it...

                                I didn't know the original Mario Bros was so complex. Its a bit before my time anyway (my first console was Genesis).
