I give Google major props for using Dragon Warrior as the base for this gag and not some other more popular series. DW1 was a masterpiece of a game and I am glad they chose to feature it.

As for embed, use the "old embed code". You might then need to post a second time for it to show up (vBulletin bug, I reckon).

Dragon Warrior I is the best NES game I ever played. There were many that I loved, many that I still find the magic in, but Dragon Warrior sucked me in and never let me go.

Also Captain Skyhawk.

I admit that I didn't actually watch that video until today, but I gotta say, it's epic. Seriously. When the TV started going nuts and they blew into the cartridge, I laughed hard.

The funny thing is, this product could actually work. I am not sure many people would want it, though.
