...some great stuff there. well, i had absolutely no background info on the SMB3 vid i postet the link to, just found that by accident.
guess i was pretty naive believing that the run was played realtime. www.archive.org states it was played using quicksaves and slowmo-options on an emu.
watched that thing with a friend and we both thought
OMFG!, especially on the part when he jumps on the projectiles and gets 99 1UPs. using QS, and slowmo on a emu to get this run is really cheap shit IMO.

as for the the cancelled superplay DVD, i wasnt able to find
much background info on that, although it sounds interesting to me. only that Arika had "miscommunication" with the hired player about a special non-death version of a game.

anyone knows if there already DVDs released similiar to the Arika one?
cant find anything in google on that stuff...
