Donkey Kong Country

the game's cover art

Donkey Kong Country is a platforming game developed by Rare and published by Nintendo for the SNES in 1994.

## Gameplay

It is a 2D platformer, in which the goal is to make it to the end of the level. The player controls Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong, and they can be switched between with the press of a button.

In most stages, there are bonus rooms. Every single one is required to be found in order to complete the game to the full score of 101%. The amount varies - some stages have none, some have only one, and one stage has as many as five. The most common number of bonus rooms is 2-3 per stage.

There are 40 levels in total, including bosses. These levels take place in a wide variety of environments, such as jungles, caves, underwater, mines, temples, forests, tundras, icy caves, and treetop villages. There are various types of stages as well, such as straightforward platforming levels, barrel blasts, and minecarts.

## Reception

The game was extremely well-received upon release, being praised for its visuals, music, and gameplay, becoming the third-best selling game on the SNES. Rumor has it that this was the sole thing that helped Nintendo win the 16-bit console war, but this is unconfirmed. It undeniably helped Nintendo win, but it surely was not the only reason they won. The game being as popular as it is, it received two sequels - Diddy's Kong Quest and Dixie Kong's Double Trouble, and the popularity of this game and the others made the demand for another entry high, but Rare was bought by Microsoft from Nintendo, so it took 14 years for another game in the series to be made, proving the staying power of the games.
Angry Video Game Nerd

this sums it all up

James Rolfe is a YouTuber who is famous for the Angry Video Game Nerd, Board James, and Monster Madness series. The AVGN series is very basic - it involves James reviewing bad video games in a comedic manner. Board James is a horror-comedy series which involves AVGN's split personality, Board James, a board-game obsessed murderer on the run who torments his "friends" Motherfucker Mike and Bad Luck Bootsy (one thing - IT GETS COMPLICATED). Monster Madness, now discontinued, was a series where James reviewed one horror movie per day in the month of October.

## "Controversy"

"Controversy" (this term is used very loosely) arose when James simply refused to see the new Ghostbusters just because he thought it didn't look very good. Of course, retarded snowflake feminazis were mad about this, because apparently a man who doesn't want to see a movie that stars women that doesn't look like a very good movie is sexist, right? But if a woman did the same thing to a movie that starred men as the leads, it would apparently not be sexist. LOGIC!

Also, in one of the most pathetic displays, the *director* himself, Paul Fag (er, "Feig," sorry) came out and bashed James as a sexist. You know that a movie is truly feminist propaganda when the cuck director tries to shame people (men specifically) who don't want to see his movie as sexist, rather than as simply someone who thinks it doesn't look very good. Thankfully, people seemed to get over themselves and stop whining, for once.

Atari 7800

the 7800

The Atari 7800 was a game console released in 1986. It was the successor to the failed Atari 5200. The console was backwards-compatible with the old 2600 games without the use of an additional module. The graphics of its own games were better than that of the 2600, but the same audio chip was used for the system. The system was discontinued in 1992, alongside the Atari 2600, but games were still made until 1993.
Gamestick

the Gamestick

The Gamestick is a microconsole released in 2013. It is a very small system, being about the same size as a USB drive. It plugs directly into the HDMI port on the back of a TV, downloads games off of an online store, and plays them with a bluetooth controller. It was considerably more successful than other microconsoles, still being produced to this day.
Sabamobil

The Sabamobil was an analog audio tape format introduced in 1964. It used quarter inch tape and was actually compatible with Reel to Reel players. It is unknown what year it was discontinued, but most sources point to 1968. The reason it was discontinued is unknown, as are many things about it. The mysterious format has been universally unknown until recently when the technology Youtuber Techmoan made an episode of *Retro Tech* focusing on it.
Super Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins

the game's cover

Super Mario Land 2 : Six Golden Coins is a platformer developed by Nintendo for the Game Boy released in 1992.

## Gameplay

Like other Mario games, you have to make it to the end of a certain amount of levels. At the end, you fight a new antagonist - Wario, Mario's evil doppelganger who stole his castle - rather than Bowser.

## Reception

The game was very well-received, becoming the fifth-best selling game for the original Game Boy and the sixth-best selling when sales of Game Boy Color games are included. It is sometimes regarded just as highly as the console games, but it is unfortunately overlooked in most cases.
Hunter Avallone

"good one teddy"

### Enemies

most liberals, Islam, California, CNN, Hillary Clinton, modern feminism (third wave)

### Philosophy

Realism

Hunter Avallone is a Youtuber who posts many types of videos, the most common of which are political ones which present conservative viewpoints and roast liberals, the toxic ideology of Islam, and other retardation.

## Origin

He was born in 1996 and grew up making films outside with his siblings. He eventually made a Youtube channel in 2014, when he posted his first video "Most Stupid Pictures Online." As his videos progressed, he got more and more political, until he posted "How to be a Liberal," although it can be argued that his first political video was "5 Ways to Offend People." Regardless, after this, his channel started to focus on roasting feminists and liberals in the "Get Rekt" series. His opinions towards certain things changed over time, most notably him turning from Christian to Atheist, but that's the cool thing about conservatism - you can still be one, but hold a slightly different view which you can engage with others in a civilized debate.

Sonic 3 & Knuckles

the games' cover art

Sonic 3 & Knuckles is a game released for the Sega Genesis in 1994. It was initially meant to just be Sonic 3, but due to hardware limitations, it had to be split into two separate halves - Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Sonic & Knuckles. Both were released separately on different days (both in 1994), but a unique lock-on technology allowed both to be combined into one game: Sonic 3 & Knuckles.

## Gameplay

It's very similar to the previous three Sonic games, being a 2D platformer emphasizing speed. The game has sections where the player is allowed to go very fast and blaze through the stage, where other sections have the player taking things slower to make precision jumps. The spindash returns from Sonic 2 and Sonic CD, and the most notable new addition is the elemental shields, which give Sonic a new ability - the bubble shield, which allows Sonic to bounce, the fire shield, which lets Sonic do an airdash, and the lightning shield, which works like a magnet for rings and allows Sonic to double jump.

## Reception

The game was very well-received, but didn't sell as well as Sonic 2 because the SNES had overtaken Genesis sales by 1993 due to a number of reasons. It also didn't become as popular as Sonic 2 with fans, but a very large part of the fanbase considers it the best Sonic game.
Donkey Kong Jungle Beat

the game's cover art

Donkey Kong Jungle Beat is a game developed by Nintendo for the GameCube.

## Gameplay

The game is a fast-paced platformer where you use the DK Bongo controller. You play the bongos to move, jump, and fight bosses.

## Reception

The game was fairly well-received, including most reviewers, who claim the game controls surprisingly well (even with the Bongos), and is addicting due to the fast gameplay. They do say it is kind of easy, but acts as a decent stress-reliever.
Capacitance Electronic Disc

Capacitance Electronic Discs, or CEDs, are an analog videodisc format. They were invented by RCA in 1972, and are basically an LP record with video on it. This is a similar thing in each audio format, that there is a corresponding video format, such as the Magnetophon with Open-Reel tapes and filmstock, Compact Cassettes with Video 2000 and Compact Video Cassette, and CDs with DVD. The CED system worked with a plastic caddy that held the disc. The caddy would be inserted into the player and then removed, and the disc would be inside. A specialized needle for playback similar to records would make contact, and the video would begin to play. The format was eventually discontinued when the Laserdisc rendered it obsolete.
Atari 2600

the original Video Computer System (as it was called) model from 1977

The Atari Video Computer System, more commonly called the Atari 2600, was an 8-bit game console released in 1977 and the most successful of the second generation. While not the first home game console that used cartridges, it is credited for popularizing them, as well as the use of a microprocessor. It was a huge step up from the earlier Magnavox Odyssey, which required overlays and was simply two dots on the screen. The 2600 used separate code contained in ROM cartridges to make only the console, controller, and game required, rather than having them pre-installed and selected by inserting a memory card like the Odyssey. It was so huge that when someone says "video game," for most people the 2600 would immediately come to mind. The console was so successful that it caused many companies to release half-baked video game consoles to compete. There was also no quality control standard in place, so a lot of shovelware resulted. This oversaturated market eventually led to the crash of 1983, something that would not be fixed until the NES was released in 1985, revitalizing the industry.

## Atari 2600 Jr.

   The 2600 Jr. was a smaller and more affordable redesign of the 2600. The redesign did not have an AV connection like most consoles of the time, but only an RF output like the original. The system was discontinued in the early 1990s, alongside the Atari 2600 system as a whole.
Nintendo GameCube

the GameCube

The Nintendo GameCube is a disc-based game console released by Nintendo in 2001. Many people argue that it would have been better for the N64 to be Nintendo's first disc-based console because all of their competitors were making such systems. Interestingly, the GameCube's discs are more akin to Mini DVDs rather than normal ones like most disc-based consoles.

The console gave us many classics, including Super Mario Sunshine, Luigi's Mansion, Super Smash Bros. Melee, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, and Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door. It sold decently, but was considered a commercial failure by Nintendo standards. The console was discontinued in 2006 when the Wii, its successor, was released. Despite this, the GameCube is still fondly remembered to this day and is considered one of the best Nintendo consoles by many, if not *the* best.

Nintendo DS

DS
--

the original model

The Nintendo DS is a handheld game console released in 2004. It evolved from the GameBoy Advance SP, and was actually compatible with GBA games. The system was insanely successful, with a huge demand for them all the way to the mid 2010s. The system was discontinued in 2014 after a 10 year run.

## DS Lite

The DS Lite was a smaller, slimmer redesign of the DS. It was an even larger success than the original, being the DS model most people owned.

## DSi

The DSi was the successor to the DS, and it could connect to the internet. The system was not as successful as the original, and was incompatible with GBA games.
Sega Genesis

the model 1 Genesis

The Sega Genesis, also known as the Mega Drive, was a 16-bit console introduced in 1988. It was not the first 16-bit system, but it was the first 16-bit console to be released in North America (in 1989). The console was incredibly successful, and was not discontinued until 1997. It brought us several classic franchises, most notably Sonic the Hedgehog.

## Model 1 Genesis

The model 1 Genesis (pictured, above) was the first version of the Genesis released in 1989. It had the most features, and was the largest model. It also had the best sound if it was a "High-Definition Graphics" model, such as the one pictured in the infobox.

## Model 2 Genesis

The model 2 Genesis was the second version of the console, and it is the most common model seen today. It is simply a more compact version of the original Genesis without any switches on the front. It supports all of the Genesis peripherals and controllers. It also has the worst sound of all the models, being muffled and lower-quality than those models.

## Model 3 Genesis

The model 3 Genesis was the third version of the console, made by a third party company (Majesco). It is even smaller than the model 2, and is not compatible with any of the peripherals from the original Genesis. The controller also has six buttons, not only three. This model was discontinued in 1999, two years after the discontinuation of the original two Genesis models.

## Sega CD

The Sega CD was a peripheral for the Genesis released in 1992. It used optical discs for its games, and it was one of the first to do so. It was a commercial failure and was discontinued in 1996. Despite this, it has many acclaimed games, including Sonic CD, Snatcher, and Earthworm Jim Special Edition.

## Sega 32X

The Sega 32X was another peripheral released for the Genesis in 1994. It uses cartridges that contain 32-bit games. It was also compatible with the original 16-bit Genesis games. The addon was Sega's last ditch attempt to extend the lifespan of the Genesis, but it ultimately failed and was discontinued in 1996 alongside the Sega CD.
3DO Interactive Multiplayer

the 3DO

The 3DO Interactive Multiplayer was a game console released in 1993. It was notable for being a full-motion video console. The system had the balls to insult SNES and Genesis, calling them "baby toys." The system was extremely unsuccessful and was discontinued in 1996. It was most infamous for "Plumbers Don't Wear Ties," a very poorly-received "game" said to be worse than games such as *Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde* for the NES and *Big Rigs Over the Road Racing* for PC.
Betamax

Betamax, also known as Beta, is an analog magnetic videotape format invented by Sony in 1975. It offered higher quality than most other formats at the time, such as VHS, but was limited to a 1 hour recording time. It famously competed with VHS and Video 2000 in the videotape format war, which VHS ultimately won. However, Beta tapes are still occasionally for sale at certain stores. The format also gave rise to Betacam, a video format for HD cameras similar to VHS-C.
Volley VI

The **Volley VI(***succeeded by **Roberts** **Super Color** **Volley X*****)**, made by ***Roberts Electronics*** in *1977*, was a Pong console that featured 6 pong games with variable Speed, Bat size, and Difficulty(*Tennis, Hockey[Goalie and Forward], Squash, Practice, Skeet Shooting, Target Shooting*) with some games requiring use of its **Tiger Electronics Machine Gun**(*which could be switched to a Combination Rifle or Pisto*l) which connect on the back of the cabinet.

The **Volley VI's** main power source is **6 C cell batteries(1.5V)**, an optional AC adapter(*called the **Battery Eliminator***), that was bought/sold separately, allowed you to operate the unit on ordinary 120V house current by plugging it into a jack on the rear of the cabinet.
JonTronShow

the channel's profile picture

JonTronShow is the channel of Jontron, a comedian and actor. It was originally created because Jontron was inspired by AVGN, but he eventually used this inspiration to build his own style of content.

## Content

Pretty much 100% comedy, but he posted relatively serious reviews and top 10 lists in the channel's early days.
DK : King of Swing

the game's cover art

DK : King of Swing is a game developed by Paon in 2005 for the Game Boy Advance. It serves as a sequel to the Donkey Kong Country trilogy and Donkey Kong 64.

## Gameplay

You take control of Donkey Kong or Diddy Kong as they solve puzzles by swinging around using the L and R buttons, and by charging into enemies. The end goal is to get the stolen medals from the Jungle Jam Tournament back from King K. Rool.

## Reception

The game was generally well-received, but its simpler cartoony graphics were criticized as a departure from the more sophisticated 3D-rendered SGI models from the earlier games. However, it was called a classic example of Nintendo trying something new but familiar at the same time.
Arcadia 2001

the Arcadia 2001

The Arcadia 2001 is a cartridge-based console released by Emerson Radio in 1982 following the release of the ColecoVision. It was discontinued in 1984, after being unsuccessful. Then, years after the console, a company called the Arcadia Corporation - the manufacturer of the Atari VCS supercharger - was sued by Emerson due to Emerson owning the rights to the "Arcadia" name. Arcadia then changed their name to Starpath.
Nintendo Wii U

the Wii U

The Nintendo Wii U was a game console released in 2012. The system is notable for its failure, due to being a victim of poor marketing. The ads made it seem like a peripheral for the normal Wii, rather than a whole new console. The first ad repeatedly said "the new controller," and before it is used a normal Wii remote is seen, making the impression that it is an addon. However, despite the failure of the system, it introduced a newer successful franchise Splatoon, a third-person online shooting game, included a few Mario titles, such as the acclaimed Super Mario 3D World and Captain Toad : Treasure Tracker, and was backwards compatible with Wii games. The console was ultimately discontinued in 2017.
The Spy

"slap my ass"

"*He is a puzzle, wrapped in an enigma, shrouded in riddles, lovingly sprinkled with intrigue, express mailed to Mystery, Alaska, and LOOK OUT BEHIND YOU! but it is too late. You're dead. For he is the Spy - globetrotting rogue, lady killer (metaphorically) and mankiller (for real)."*

**-TF2 wiki**

The Spy is a.... well, spy. Originally from France, the Spy is one of the nine playable classes in Team Fortress 2, the others being the Scout, Soldier, Pyro, Demoman, Heavy, Engineer, Medic, and Sniper.

He is designed to combat directly against Engineers, Snipers, and Heavies with a powerful backstab that kills anybody in a single hit. He can also go invisible and disguise as members of the enemy team.
Atari 5200

the 5200

The Atari 5200 was a game console released in 1982, intended to replace the 2600. The system failed, however, for two reasons - the controllers were prone to breaking and the system was incompatible with the original 2600 games. The original model came with four controller ports, but a later redesign only had two because few games were released with a four player option. There was an adapter made to play 2600 games at this time as well, but this didn't save the system and it failed.
Internet Videos

Internet Video is a digital internet format of video, typically using Adobe Flash to render on browsers. This format is the most widely used for distribution of video. The videos are always viewable on various websites, and are not subject to wear unlike physical formats.

## Common Websites

* Youtube - the most widely used, it is a good website but the copyright is ridiculous.
* Vimeo - another one that is commonly used, there is less strict copyright.
* Vid.me - another commonly seen one.
* Ok.ru - there are legitimately no copyright restrictions.
* Dailymotion - a fairly common used website.
7 Grand Dad

the infamous title screen

7 Grand Dad, also known as Super Bros. 7 or Mario 7, is a bootleg Mario game made in 1992 on the Famicom. It became very well-known when Joel from Vinesauce played it.

The infamous miscolored Mario on the title screen was stolen from Dian Shi Ma Li, which is another Mario bootleg.

## Gameplay

The game is a platformer where you reach the end of the level. It is identical to Rescue of Dino and Hoppy gameplay-wise.
Donkey Kong 64

the game's cover art

Donkey Kong 64 is a collectathon platformer developed by Rare and released by Nintendo in 1999 for the Nintendo 64. It serves as a sequel to the Donkey Kong Country trilogy on SNES.

## Gameplay

It is a 3D platformer in which you must complete various objectives in each level, such as collecting a certain number of objects such as bananas.

You have five Kongs to play as - Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Tiny Kong, Chunky Kong, and Lanky Kong.

## Reception

The game was well-received, but criticized for one thing - bananas are color-coded for a specific character, meaning you have to walk over to a tag barrel to switch characters. This means you might have to traverse the giant stages five times. The game ended up becoming the seventh best-selling game for the Nintendo 64.
Max

AVGN is still a better nerd

Max is a nerd who is from South Japan, but somehow speaks English in a perfect American accent... no one knows how. He is best known for being a travel companion to Ash "the Loser" Ketchup, and Brock, who is the best character of all these Pokemans characters. Max was framed for being an IRS agent slightly before becoming a part of the Global Protection Agency, but that was because he has an evil clone made by Spaz Shrek. The clone actually is an IRS agent, and he earned the nickname "Maxmillian the Terrible."

In 2017, he left the G.P.A. because of the crazy things it often deals with (which are mostly wars and life-threatening things), party because he always watched war movies with his dad while growing up. He's still scared due to being stuck at seven years old forever, since he is a television character (they don't age at all).

## Origin

Born in a random city in the island south of mainland Japan in 1996, he reached seven years old, and due to being from a television show, stopped aging forever. Eventually, Ash Ketchup took him along for his journey across the island in 2003 with his sister May and and Ash's friend Brock. It took several months to a year to get across the whole place, but Ash eventually left him behind because he decided he was too gay.

After this, in 2008, he met his clone which was made by Spaz Shrek back in 1996 (that's a story for another day). They had a short fight, which ended up with the real Max running far away, catching a bus to go somewhere else. He didn't even go to the United States until 2012, on election night. Little did he know, his clone had already went there in 2010 and became an IRS agent. In 2015, Sir Shrek was going to a meeting to talk about the GPA (this was in the days before most of the major members today had joined), and Max met up with him on the street, asking if he could come along. Sir Shrek denied at first, mistaking him for the IRS agent clone, but he was allowed to come along once he had proven otherwise.

In 2015, the members of the GPA were these people.

1. Shrek
2. Donkey
3. Microsoft Sam
4. Microsoft Mike
5. Walt Disney
6. random\_asian\_nuker
7. Mickey Mouse
8. a random Pikachu thingy
9. George Washington
10. Billy
11. Sir Shrek

Nowadays, most of these members left the agency for a different one, or stepped down to lower positions. At this time in the world, the biggest threats were Lord Farquaad, Barack Obama, the IRS, ISIS, Dreck, Minions, Chin Chin the Dark One, and Natural Microsoft Sam. Most of these villains were dealt with (for now), so when Max joined, the conditions were quite different. He remained in the agency until early 2017, when other threats arose - Hillary Clinton and the liberals, Bernie Sanders, North Korea, Ronald Trump (President Trump's evil clone), and Spaz Shrek. ISIS also became more powerful than before. These threats drove Max to leave the agency due to being scared and stressed out, and he moved to the Island of Memes and he now lives there, occasionally visiting the GPA.

TV-4 Four-Way Video Game

The TV-4 Four-Way Video Game (yes, that is the real name) is a Pong console from the late 1970s. It has numerous problems, including the fact that the UHF switch-box is hardwired to the back of the console, so if one of the UHF prongs is damaged, the console cannot be connected to a TV, as what happened to the AVGN in episode 89 of his show.

### Genre

Platformer, Puzzle

Mario Bros. is an arcade game from 1983. It is technically the first game in the Mario series, but the exact beginning is debatable as Donkey Kong came before it, but that is often called a Donkey Kong game.

## Gameplay

The game has you play as either Mario or Luigi as you hit enemies from below, which you need to kick in order to kill. The goal is to kill all of the enemies onscreen and get a high score.

## Reception

The game, especially its arcade and NES / Famicom versions, were well-received by critics, but the other ports were not notable for positive reception. However, some reviewers nowadays consider the Atari versions to be underrated classics.

VTech CreatiVision

the CreatiVision, or as its better known name, the Dick Smith Wizzard

The VTech CreatiVision, also hilariously known as Dick Smith Wizzard in Australia, was a cartridge-based game console released in 1982. The console was unsuccessful, having been discontinued in 1985, only three years after release.
Turbografx 16

the console's US model

The Turbografx 16 was the world's first 16-bit game console. It was released as the PC Engine in Japan in 1987, and then as the Turbografx 16 in North America. The system was intended to compete with the NES, but ended up competing with the Sega Genesis and SNES. It was unsuccessful in North America, and was forgotten, but it was quite successful in Japan. The strange thing about is that it uses memory cards and not cartridges, which was uncommon at the time.
Elcaset

The Elcaset was an analog audio tape format introduced by Sony in 1976, and was meant to compete with Compact Cassettes. There was quarter-inch tape contained in it, the same as Reel to Reel, which supposedly increased fidelity. However, the format was discontinued in 1978 after achieving poor sales.

Sonic the Hedgehog

the game's cover art

> *Not to be confused with Sonic the Hedgehog (character).*
>
>

Sonic the Hedgehog is a game that was released in 1991 for the Sega Genesis. It is the first game in the Sonic the Hedgehog series.

## Gameplay

The game is a 2D platformer with the goal of reaching the end of a collection of stages. The thing that sets it apart from other platformers of its time is its emphasis on speed. The speed ability is not used all that often in this first game, however.

## Reception

The game sold very well and set the Sega Genesis up as a worthy competitor to the Nintendo Entertainment System, the dominant home console of the time. Many people prefer this game and its sequels to Mario, but whether or not that is the case comes down to personal preference. While not as fondly remembered as its sequels, Sonic 1 still gets a reasonable amount of praise from critics and gamers alike.
Secret Clouds

a photo of the location from 1996, taken by Lakitu during Mario's journey in Super Mario 64

### Located

somewhere in the sky above Peach's Castle

### Founded or Discovered

1996

Commonly called "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" in reference to the song, this mysterious location is known to hold a secret Power Star.

The area consists of a few solid clouds (one strangely with poles hanging off its bottom) and two floating platforms with cannons. Each section is connected with rainbows and houses the Wing Cap, a strange hat that gives the wearer the power to fly for one minute before disappearing.

The location is only known because Mario traveled here during the events of Super Mario 64. It possibly houses many other secrets that have yet to be found.

It is the most well known rainbow cloud cluster in the Sir Shrek Universe, which is a very rare formation that usually forms above giant canyons and chasms, although they can be found anywhere.

Super Mario Land

the game's cover

Super Mario Land is a platforming game developed by Nintendo, and released for the Game Boy in 1989.

## Gameplay

The game is a 2D platformer. Like other 2D Mario games, the goal is to make it to the end of obstacle courses and save the princess. Unlike other Mario games, you save Princess Daisy in this game.

## Reception

The game was the third-best selling game for the original Game Boy, and the fourth-best selling game for the Game Boy in general when sales for Game Boy Color games are included, due to the Game Boy color basically being a redesign of the original Game Boy, just with color. The game is still regarded as one of the best Game Boy games ever made.
Nintendo Virtual Boy

the Virtual Boy

The Nintendo Virtual Boy was an experimental game console released in 1995. It was one of the first "virtual reality" consoles to make the player feel as if they were actually in the game. The console was a critical and commercial failure for various reasons. The first is that the games were close to the eyes in red and black, which could cause eye strains and headaches within a few minutes. The console also had only 21 total games released for it, Nintendo-made and third-party. Last of all, it was marketed as a portable console, but it was just the VR headset mounted on a pair of metal "legs" and it came with no head strap. The console had a notoriously short lifespan of less than one year, being discontinued in 1996.
Sony Playstation 3

the Playstation 3

The Playstation 3 was a game console released in 2006 by Sony as the successor to the Playstation 2. The console was extremely successful as its predecessors (although not as much as the PS2), and similarly to them, had its own slim redesign. The console was discontinued in 2017 after its long eleven-year lifespan.

Super Mario Bros.

the game's cover art

Super Mario Bros. is a platforming game developed and released by Nintendo in 1985 for the NES.

## Gameplay

It is a 2D platformer with the goal of reaching the end of each level. The overall end goal is to save Princess Toadstool from Bowser by making it through eight worlds.

## Reception

The game was very well-received upon its release, and helped the NES to sell as well as it did, saving the video game industry from the crash of 1983. It was the best-selling game for the NES and Famicom, and is still regarded as one of the greatest games ever made.
Sony Playstation

the Playstation

The Sony Playstation is a disc-based game console released in 1995 by Sony. It was released after Nintendo released the SNES in 1991. The reason the consoles are related is because Nintendo and Sony had originally been in a partnership to make the Playstation, which was meant to be a disc-based addon for the SNES, then later its own console called the Nintendo Playstation. About 200 prototypes were manufactured (with only one known to survive and work today), but the system was forgotten when Nintendo left the partnership for Phillips, which was a mistake. As a result, Sony released the Playstation in 1995 and it stole a large market share from Nintendo. They then released the N64, which was a success in its own right but could not beat the Playstation. The PS1 later had a slim redesign, the "PSOne", released in 2000. The system was ultimately discontinued in 2005.

Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble

the game's cover art

Donkey Kong Country 3 : Dixie Kong's Double Trouble is a platforming game developed by Rare and released by Nintendo in 1996. The game is a direct sequel to the second game, and is the last in the original Donkey Kong Country trilogy.

## Gameplay

Exactly like the previous two games, it is a 2D platformer in which the goal is to make it past all of the levels to fight the final boss. The player controls Dixie Kong and her cousin Kiddy Kong, and the team-up move from the second game returns.

There are about two or three bonus rooms in each level. Similarly to the other games, they all need to be found in order to get the full completion score, which is 103% in this game. In addition, there is a DK coin in each level and many silver coins throughout the game. There are also Bear Brothers, who provide side quests. Also, interesting fact - if you input a code on the file select screen before starting a game, you can play the game on a harder difficulty which has no DK Barrels or Checkpoint Barrels, and it gives you a completion score of 105% if you find everything, the highest score possible in the original trilogy.

There are 48 levels (including the lost world and bosses), and they take place in a variety of environments, most of which are also from the first game. There are the most gameplay "gimmicks" this time around, such as toboggans, barrel cannons you can control, a ripsaw cutting trees you must run from, and water that flips left from right on the D-pad.

## Reception

While well-received, the game was not as critically acclaimed as the first two games, being praised for its visuals, gameplay, difficulty, and variety, but criticized for its music and for Kiddy Kong's design. The game became the tenth-best selling game on the SNES. Overall, it is called the weakest game in the original trilogy, although it is considered a good way for the original series to end.
Nintendo Switch

the Switch

The Nintendo Switch, originally called the NX, is a hybrid game console released in 2017, being the first of its kind. It uses small memory cards for store-bought games, but has the option to buy games from the internet via the Nintendo eShop. The reason it is a hybrid is because it is a tablet that can be played on the go, and it includes a special dock so it can be hooked up to a TV. There are two "joycons" that detach from the main unit, and they can either be used as controllers themselves or slid onto a controller-shaped mount and held like a traditional game controller. Currently, it is the fastest selling console of all time, selling 4.8 million units in 10 months, beating the record held by the Wii. It will definitely be interesting to see what games will be released for it and if it will have a long lifespan, because the console has a lot of potential.
Nintendo 64

the Nintendo 64

The Nintendo 64 was a cartridge-based 64-bit game console. It was not the first 64-bit system, but it was the most successful. Contrary to popular belief, while it was capable of 64-bit graphics, most of its games ran at 32-bit due to requiring less space and processing power. It brought classic games such as Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask, and Banjo-Kazooie, just to name a few. The system was introduced in 1996, and discontinued in 2003.
Mario

Mario from Super Mario 64

Mario is a plumber and Nintendo's official mascot, being the most famous video game character of all time, right next to Donkey Kong and Sonic the Hedgehog. Mario originally started as Jumpman in the 1981 arcade hit *Donkey Kong*, but eventually became his own character in the *Mario Bros.* arcade game, and then a gaming icon with the revolutionary NES game *Super Mario Bros.*, which established many of the genre conventions of platformers and the quality standard of video games in general.

8-Track

8-Tracks are an analog infinite loop audio tape format invented in 1965. Developed from the earlier 4-Track, which was developed from Fidelipac itself, the tape could be inserted into the player, and four "programs" could be selected from. Whichever one was selected would play in an infinite loop until the program was switched (automatically or manually) or the tape was ejected. The tapes were popular in the late 1960s to early 1980s, overtaking but eventually being replaced by the Compact Cassette. The main reason was its issues, the most common being the splice breakage, interrupting the loop. The others were the pressure pads decaying, the pinch rollers melting, the drive belt doing the same, and pitch issues such as wow, when the recording is played back too slightly too slow, or flutter, the exact opposite. Together, these issues caused the 8-tracks to fade from popularity, however they are sought out by collectors.
Phillips CDi

the CDi

The Phillips CDi was a disc-based console released in 1991. Nintendo made the mistake of licensing their franchises such as Mario and Zelda to Phillips. The CDi was incredibly hated by everyone, most infamous for its awful cutscenes. That is the only reason the system is notable. It was discontinued in 1998.
Sega Saturn

the Saturn

The Sega Saturn was a disc-based game console released in 1995. The console was Sega's second disc-based system, after the Sega CD, a Genesis addon and not its own console. It was successful in Japan, due in part to the outstanding "*Segata Sanshiro*" ads. However, the console was a commercial failure in the US, and was discontinued in 1998.
Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze

the game's cover art

Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze is a platforming game developed by Retro Studios and released by Nintendo in 2014 for the Wii U, on the 20th anniversary of the original Donkey Kong Country.

## Gameplay

The game is a 3D side-scrolling platformer which is very similar to the first DKCR game. However, it has new characters - Dixie Kong and Cranky Kong are playable in this game, whereas they weren't in the previous one, and Cranky was never playable before this.

## Reception

The game was, just as the first DKCR, very well-received. It is regarded as one of the best Wii U games, if not the best.
Cantata 700

The 3M Cantata 700 was a background music audio tape format introduced by 3M - the makers of Scotch Tape - in the mid-1960s. It is notable for being the world's largest audio tape format ever made. It was mostly used in the 1970s and 1980s in public places to play Muzak in the background and increase activity through Stimulus Progression. It was also the slowest and longest tape ever, traveling at about 1.5 inches per second and playing 26 hours of music per tape. After one side was done playing, the machine would auto-reverse the tape and play the other program.
Nintendo GameBoy

the original GameBoy

The Nintendo GameBoy is a handheld game console released in 1989. It was the most successful and longest-lived handheld game system ever released, not being discontinued until 2003. The system had monochrome graphics and there was no backlight, but it was so popular that an entire lineage was started, which the original GameBoy lasted throughout the majority of. It was most notable for introducing Pokemon.

## GameBoy Pocket

The GameBoy Pocket was a redesigned, smaller version of the GameBoy released in 1996 and lasting until the early 2000s. The system also included an LED for battery charging and had no exclusive games, but rather played GameBoy games.
Bally Astrocade

the Astrocade

The Bally Astrocade was a cartridge-based game console released in 1977. The Atari VCS ultimately beat it in a competition and it was discontinued in 1984. Despite this, however, the system was quite powerful for its time, having graphic capabilities beyond the standard, but those capabilities were hard to program games for, which ultimately led to the console's demise.
Reel to Reel Movies

*Not to be confused with Reel to Reel Videotapes such as Type B.*

More widely known as filmstock, the analog video format was the standard for cinema and television from its invention in 1892 to the 2010s. It was replaced by digital cinemas, but is still used occasionally. There are several gauges, or widths, which the most common are 8mm, 16mm, 35mm, and Ultrawide formats such as Cinemascope. The system consists of many images, or "frames," in a continuous sequence printed on a translucent celluloid material. They are then played back using a system similar to Reel to Reel audio or Open-Reel video formats. The long sequence begins in a supply reel, which is then rotated to put the frames in front of a light source, which projects the images onto a wall or screen. The frames then enter a takeup reel where they are collected as the movie goes on. Sometimes, there are multiple reels for a single movie, in a similar vein to Laserdisc. Originally silent, fully-synchronized sound was later added, either played from an external vinyl record or directly from a soundtrack on the video reel. This format was also originally used for live events, which was later replaced by magnetic tapes in the field.
Joy

Joy being adorable

**Joy** is a very joyful and optimistic emotion. She is the protagonist of Pixar's 2015 masterpiece *Inside Out.*

She always strives to stay joyful and lighthearted, true to her name, and loves to help others. She used to tend to break rules for the greater good, however after her huge change of heart witnessing Bing Bong disappear, she now follows laws and rules, unless the case they are too liberal, restrictive, or malign.

She is also an accordionist, a dancer, a stargazer, a juggler, a figure skater, a horror film fan, a pole vaulter, a sprinter, and loves to sing. She is also the founder and leader of Team Happy.

Yeah I don't know either.

## Origins

Joy was born sometime in 2003 or 2004, when she was born of an intense light inside the mind of Riley Andersen, who is your average mid-western girl. She made Riley feel happiness for the first ever time, which created a "core memory," a very important kind of memory which serves as the main source of energy for Riley's personality. Other events occur, such as Joy and her best friend Sadness getting ejected from Headquarters, their home, and then they make it back after Joy has a change of heart during her time in the memory dump, a place where she could have faded away into a land of memories forgotten. She then gets back home with Sadness, and they heal Riley, making her a better person. They snuggle together as best friends, and feel incredible joy that Riley is OK again. Joy truly embraces Sadness and the other emotions, building a new console so they can work together as a team and as a group of inseparable friends.

I guess.

Donkey Kong Land

the game's cover art

Donkey Kong Land is a game for the Game Boy that was released in 1995. It serves as a pseudo-sequel to Donkey Kong Country, and the first entry in the Donkey Kong Land trilogy.

## Gameplay

The game is a 2D platformer, just like the original DKC, where the goal is to reach the end of the stage, in order to fight a boss at the end of each world. Unlike the SNES games, after you beat each level, the game autosaves.

## Reception

Critics gave the game generally positive reviews, but noted that it is better on the Super Game Boy. However, a good portion of the public review this game in a negative light due to its poor visibility and controls.
Video 2000

Video 2000 is an analog magnetic videotape format introduced by Phillips and Grundig in 1979. It is about the size of a VHS, but included many new innovations such as only half of the tape being scanned, doubling playing time. The format competed with VHS and Betamax, which it lost to VHS and was discontinued in 1988.
