Remember all those amazing passes you pulled off in Tecmo Bowl? Yeah, well, you weren’t so special as it turns out.

Just watch this and ask yourself if you could compare…

I’d definitely be into Madden 2011 if you do such things. But you know, realism lol! Or at the very least if the soundtrack was on the same level. Anyway, if you think that was nuts, check this out…

Here’s a question: if you’re a fan of game X, but have long since grown bored of it, due to being so damn good, what’s the next step? Make your own levels, and why the hell not: make them hard as hell.

Hence what you see above, one of countless mods for the original Super Mario Bros. You’ll find similar effort for countless other NES games, mostly since the tools to do so are super simple at this point.
