Still, it'd be fun even if only for looking at the differences between Zelda and Metroid on cart. There's lots of intetesting curiosities on FDS and it's not an insurmountable library either.
Can't be worse than Game Boy Puzzle Purgatory can it?

Jeremy Parish Presents: Retronauts Video Works (Chronological Retrospective Series)
- Thread starter Nerdkiller
- Start date
Can't be worse than Game Boy Puzzle Purgatory can it?
A "Famicom Works" that encompasses both Disk System releases and notable cartridge releases that didn't make it to the west would be neat.
Heck, Mr. Parish could go in and rebrand the Otocky Retronauts Micro video as the first in the series if he saw fit.

lol I only mentioned the Monty on the Run music because it was the first piece of C64 Rob Hubbard music that I found on YouTube and really liked. Never heard of the game before then.
But as a guy in the US who's interested in the European computer scene, I'd love to see more about the game, including the FDS one. It would be an interesting look into both the EU and JP gaming scenes.

Yes, that's the "de Medici" patron tier, in which you personally fund my existence for as long as it takes me to complete the project.

Doesn't YouTube now allow for you to add a button onto your video's page now, directing you to your Patreon? I'm sure you could get a few more patrons that way given the greater visibility of such a thing allowing for that, and not just another http text based link.

I have been following the Works series for a couple years, and it's some phenomenal gaming history work. Well narrated and presented, almost like a audiovisual museum exhibit.
I will definitely resub to his Patreon when I can, I think these videos are not only entertaining, but important work.
Edit: oh shoot, JeremyParish himself is in here! May I ask if you have a general roadmap planned out for the rest of 2018 as far as what playlist(s) you're going to invest the most time in? Apologies if you have discussed this somewhere already and I have missed it.

Great vid. Looking forward to more. Not a big Sonic fan but I might buy this to support the series and M2 right out of the gate. Gain Ground is the first one I'm really interested in getting.
I have messed around with it a bit on the SUGC. I want to support the arcade release. I am just loving the fact that so many arcade classics are being give new life right now in various ways. Never thought we'd see VS SMB or the real version of Donkey Kong on digital storefronts, but here we are.
I have a reservation placed for the Virtual Boy RGB-out mod kit, so it comes down to when my order comes up in the queue and when I can get someone to install it for me.

Yes. Pretty much the only series that could be completed more quickly would be SuperGrafx Works.
Speaking of which, that'll happen as soon as I can find and photograph the complete SuperGrafx set.

NGPC was 80+ games! And it's apparently nearly impossible to mod the system for video output. I'll do Lynx (70 games) first.
Speaking of which, that'll happen... man, I don't know. I got mouths to feed.

Also some of those games are super expensive to track down, Rockman Battle & Fighters anyone.
As a handheld collector myself who dabbles in those circles I can tell you that I know far more people with complete NGPC collections than Lynx. Pre internet obscure systems just made collecting a pain and there is something about the late Atari systems where people didn't care and the print runs were tiny.
Cool bump! Coincidentally, I just finished NES works 1985 and am now on 1986. His channel is pretty awesome. So awesome, I bought his two NES Works books on fangamer. Should be getting them in the next couple of weeks. I'll share pics and impressions if anyone is interested.
A WonderSwan / WonderSwan Color Works would be interesting as a Gaiden project, although I have no idea how big those libraries were. Also, I'm sure that's the last thing Jeremy needs to tackle: a video series for a system that never came out in North America. On the other hand, it was Gunpei Yokoi's final project after leaving Nintendo right?
I often want to punch myself for letting go of my now-pricey NGPC collection ;_;
The Sega Ages popped up in my feed all day yesterday. Didn't realize it was Jeremy.
Watching tonight after I put the toddler to sleep. She won't let me watch anything game related. Its nonstop Baby Shark when I get home from work until her bedtime.
Speaking of port begging: Jeremy, please get Dr. S. Back on retronauts sometime! I'm sure he has loads of time to do it ;)

I really wish I had gotten into Neo Geo Collecting earlier, I had a lofty goal of getting every game in the collection at one point. Managed to get 20 boxed games but the price of some titles has made me give up on that.
At least I have a boxed copy of Cotton to retire on I guess
OP

Would Kevtris happen to have a NGPC FPGA core prepped up for a future clone console?
I was buying almost every NGPC game back when it was new and no one gave a crap. Cotton, Rockman, Gals Fighters, the Metal Slugs... but I had to downsize that collection (and stuff like Snatcher, EarthBound, Panzer Dragoon Saga) in order to relocate across the country multiple times, back before they were all anywhere near their current value. Sigh.
No one knoooooows
Great Sonic vid. I love M2's work but I'm not sure I'll download every single SEGA AGES title like I did with the 3D Classics on 3DS. Paying another $10(AU) for Sonic, when I already own a perfectly good handheld version (and approx. 1,000 console versions), would feel like buying it for the sake of buying it, and I'm trying not to do that anymore. Phantasy Star, though? Day. One. I've wanted to finish that game for years and portability + auto-mapping = the perfect version for me.
I'm personally getting out of collecting. I purged a bunch of stuff at the start of the year due to lack of space and it felt good. I only keep games I plan on playing in the near future or have some sentimental value, which means a tiny Master System, Mega Drive and Dreamcast collection, along with some NGPC and PS3 stuff (all in storage). Zero ephemera or branded tat.

Well I don't have any boxes any more but I still have the books (and/or posters) for most of my Lynx games. Still got the little hand-written notebook with level codes, too. Lynx games never had room for batteries, though sadly last time I busted out the system itself I found I had stored it with batteries in it that leaked and took out the Option 1 and Pause buttons. :(
Been thinking about hitting up one of those retro wizards for a combined repair/modern LCD installation. Or just , you know, move on. I dunno. I don't think I have it in me to play to the end of Gauntlet: The Third Encounter or Electrocop more than once per lifetime. YOU can do it Jeremy lol I'll just watch.

YOU STOLE MY SIMPSONS JOKE, JEREMY!
This is an excellent video, especially as it covers games like Pharoah's Curse, and even touches on the European games in the same genre.
I'm embarrassed to say I didn't realise what the phrase 'Montezuma's Revenge' meant until now. Just, wow.
