I looked on Wikipedia about polybius, and it seems to be largely plagiarized from there.

Oh, and I am guilty of blowing into my NES cartridge.

I love this list, but I wonder when I’m going to go to UGO and not think “Oh, the guys who chopped a buttload of 1up staff.”

But yeah, fun list indeed.

@Pontus -AGREE!

Things on my “to-do-list” for Mario on the NES:

1. Finally Learn to get a gagillion lives with the turtle trick in world 3.
2. Play the game straight through without warping. (I always lose interest about world 7-2)
3. Jump the flagpole!

It’s a shame they’ve gotten ride of them, though they had a point: if you have time to add these things in, why not spend that time to improve the game, instead?

Still, I miss the likes of getting killed in Leisure Suit Larry and being dumped into the “underground Sierra repair shop” which showed you “what happens when you restart the game”.
