Watching the latest video, The Evolution of NES Fandom. A fantastic topic and really enjoyable video.
Quick question, some of the archival footage was sourced from "Saving The Video Game". I'd love to watch the original sourced material as well, but a Google search doesn't turn up anything titled as such. JeremyParish where should I be looking for this?

It's the name of a YouTube channel—shows up for me as the first result on a Google search. https://www.youtube.com/user/savesgaming
NES Works Gaiden: Mega Man Legends

This better not lead to the start of yet another thing you'll never finish, Jeremy.
Mega Man Legends retrospective: Ten true summers | NES Works Gaiden #12
Another Error: Minions and by large Despicable Me are not by DreamWorks, but Illumination.

I should also mention why you didn't bother to correct the "Episode 11" error in the video.

Loved the Mega Man Legends video. Perfectly encapsulates what's so great about the game.
The game feels so ahead of its time in terms of setting and making the 3D world feel cohesive.

Wow, this video was really great Jeremy. Thanks alot for your awesome work!

Nah, the boring stuff makes the good stuff all the more satisfying.
Virtual Boy Works in particular was a very interesting series because of the mediocrity or bad games with a couple of highs mixed in. Made for a fun experience if you didn't know about most of the library aside from the more notorious games.
I'm definitely more of a lurker than a commenter, but I just want to say thanks for all the work you put into these videos. I have absolutely loved your articles from back when I was still in high school and college all the way until your videos on Youtube. There have been sad times throughout the years but your passion and work, whether it's your articles or videos, have made those sad times happier for me and I am sure this is true of many of your other viewers and readers.

Big bonus video, because if you know Jeremy, you'll know why Heiankyo Alien is a big deal to him.
i will never hear heiankyo alien or tower of druaga and not think of parish for the rest of my life
I'm surprised he never made a Gaiden for Dragon Quest, considering the title debuted 1987 and it's effects on Japanese video games will have a huge ripple for the entirety of the NES lifetime.
He'll be getting to it eventually anyway, and I imagine that context will be covered extensively there.
Remind me when eventually should be? Because didn't Dragon Warrior debut in NA in 1989?
Removing compilations/rereleases, there's about 110+ games to get through before it.
We'll actually hilariously be seeing the Ultima III conversion that was inspired by Dragon Quest's framework (after Dragon Quest itself was heavily influenced by Ultima) long before we get to Dragon Quest itself.

The history behind Heiyankyo Alien dates way back, as in around the very start of Japanese game development, and proved to be the foundation of plenty a game, including, what Jeremy may argue, being a major influence on Pac Man. The music you're hearing is from the remake portion of the Game Boy port.

Gotta say I really enjoy this series and this episode really made me want to fire up Rare Replay for some Knight Lore
Also speaking of Xanadu and Zelda Faxanadu > Zelda II *runs*
Missile Command: Recharged looks pretty snazzy. Thanks for doing double the videos for this week!
I am happy to play the role of everyone's calming video game uncle during These Uncertain Times.
That review took me from not even knowing this game existed to buying it on the eShop immediately. More companies need to hit up JeremyParish for quick looks on their retro remakes. Let's get Square to sponsor a Crystal Chronicles remaster review next.
Kawazu Works when? If not that, then Gin or Coffee livestream (for any of his games)?
My wife's photo business has been completely shut down for three months now due to the pandemic, so if anyone wants to create a good video game and hire me for an honest assessment of it, I'm OK with that.

Is she the one who documents the packaging and media for the games?

Metroid / Vampire Killer / Milon's Secret Castle retrospective: Namesake | Metroidvania Works #009
I still remember renting Milon's Secret Castle as a kid and being so profoundly confused by it. In hindsight, I had every right to be. That game is obtuse!

Mortal Kombat Trilogy & Wayne Gretzky's 3D Hockey Retrospective: MKUltra | N64 Works #004
Wayne Gretzky is fantastic fun in 4 player. I've never even seen a hockey game in my life yet my friends and I still played the hell out of it. One of the more overlooked multilayer games on the system.

RoboCop & Play Action Football retrospective: Gridironman | Game Boy Works #117
Update: Having actually gotten to watching the episode now, Jeremy does not hold back in relation to brutal pigs being brutal pigs in the RoboCop segment.
Video game version of Nukem when?

The Wing of Madoola / Relics / Zillion retrospective: Side quest | Metroidvania Works #010
Should've mentioned the SMS Light Phaser's look inspired the Zillion anime gun's look and later the laser tag gun's look. For the longest time I thought it was the other way around. That's what I get for listening to people on the internet. 😉
The Master System had a weird palette... some games came out looking garish. Zillion is still fun, tho!
