The lights are on
Abobo's Big Adventure has been touted as the "ultimate tribute to the NES," and it's completely free to play in-browser here. As longtime gamers who spent untold hours with the Nintendo Entertainment System, this caught the attention of Jeff Cork, Tim Turi, and myself. Its full version was recently released, and I decided we should play through the entire game and record our experience.
Watch below as we battle through stages inspired by Mario, Zelda, Double Dragon, and many, many more classic titles.

That was a welcome surprise! I've never heard of this game before but it looks really cool.
This game is pretty fun, but yeah the Zelda part does go on a little long
Creepy
That was awesome and entertaining to watch. I loved the old NES references, granted I played only afew of those games.
Manhandla is definitely the official name of that obnoxious Zelda boss.
It's a shame you didn't get any rage specials in the Punchout stage... watching Abobo dance like Don Flamenco... LOL. Then I finished the fight with that Sandman ***'s move... wonder if they have any others, like Tiger's. Good job guys, it only took you two Doc quotes to learn about that "spin punch." Haha.
I am pretty freaking sure I beat Tyson/Dream by decision once... I always heard it was impossible, but I swear I did it. They felt sorry for me or something.
Anyway, I got a kick out of hearing your nostalgic reactions anytime something new popped up. It's nice to see old-school gaming being appreciated once in a while.
Incredible ending. I'll never look at Kirby the same way again.
And to think, SOPA would've never let something like this come to fruition.
THAT WAS THE MOST AMAZING THING I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!! Sooo Many Great Childhood Memories. Thanks Guys!
I played this a week ago. It was awesome. Watching them play it was even better.
I grew up on the playstation/64 generation but I still really enjoyed this game. I know I didn't get nearly as many references as someone who grew up on NES would, but I got plenty and the game was fun to play regardless.
I miss my NES!
on the wrestling level your rage move summons in four wrestlers and they all do their specials, i look forward to seeing dan freak out at that part
CHRONO TRIGGER CAT
THAT'S SNES
Best video ever!!
This is amazing!! Absolutely love hidden games like this. So enjoyable to watch & play.
Nostalgia overload!! Love it!!
Wow... That's an awesome flash game. Congrats to the creators for a job well done.
This was fun to watch, but your player is SOOO awful. Kept stopping in the middle, and switching resolutions. Pretty bad. Good job on beating it though. Clearly showed my dedication to GI in watching this through to the end
Man that was a trip down memory lane for me. Really nice work with that game
