My favourite part is where they used specialty software to recreate the button presses on the video with frame-perfect precision, and from that was able to recreate course layouts.
- rideontime 3y agoDidYouKnowGaming has been on such a tear for the past few years, ever since Dr. Lava joined them. They've gone from aggregator to legitimate researchers, making substantial contributions to the video game history & preservation scene, putting in the work to translate materials previously unknown outside of Japan and track down & interview game devs. I realize I sound like a shill, I'm just really impressed at how far they've come from the old tumblr blog posting fun facts back in the day.
- askiiart 3y agoHuh, really? I never watched them because it was just aggregation stuff, but I guess I'll have to give them another try.
- karmelapple 3y agoI concur with the previous poster: they’ve really impressed me with the research they’ve done. It used to be fun but not revelatory… but stuff like this? Pretty wild!
- noirscape 3y agoYeah they've come a long way from just reading off facts from TCRF. Nowadays they do plenty of original research into these sorts of topics.
