This is a remaster of a video that was previously uploaded on October 20, 2010. This remastered version includes touch-ups to video quality/sharpness and attention to a few other details that were neglected the first time around. The scaling and positioning of each individual game capture have been altered so that each clip fills out a 640x480 frame without the typical dead-space that normal NES video output produces, minimizing awkward cut-offs of HUD's and other relevant elements. The visual clarity of the intro and credit sequences have also been improved, and the web address information for the musicians has been updated. Clips for certain games have been replaced entirely because the quality of the original captures used was absolutely terrible... a few of the old clips were pulled from 240p archives (yikes). The original version is now unlisted (not indexed on youtube, but any external embeds and/or links to it will remain functional); you can view it here... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyyTrjr7f-4 ___________________________________________ CAPTIONS ( a.k.a.
