I hope he doesn’t bash the game to pieces…

My brother linked me a speed run of the NES title Ducktales, viewing which gave me pause.

Speed runs of recent titles are no foreign pursuit — indeed, I sometimes watch them simply to hasten my own runs of games, and they make decent music videos. Seeing an old title played, however, is something staggering to me. When I was first playing these games, they were expansive alien landscapes, environments that had no conceivable end, something that could hold the perpetual interest of my young mind. To view them, played in their entirety in mere minutes, is to see them dismantled before my very eyes, the memory of them torn from my childhood and dashed to pieces.

It is an experience as terrible as it is fascinating.
