Let's Play - ?

Okay, here's the deal. I'm finally picking up a Pyro AV, which is an analog to DV converter, on the way home from school today. Primarily to convert some old home movies to DVD.

However, as a nice aside, this means I can get in on this whole let's play action. So, what hasn't been done before? I'm thinking something of the NES persuasion, such as Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers? Thoughts?

    you should just do a serious runthrough of an AVGN game.

    edit: does that work with modern systems?

    What the device I'm picking up? I don't see why not. It's just got Composite and S-Video on the front and then a Firewire port on the back along with outputs so you can pass it through to a TV.

    Little Nemo! I hated that game! Alternatively, A Boy and his Blob. Hated that one too.

    Rescue Rangers won't be as much fun if you can't throw a friend around the room.

    Some games I would like to see: Zelda 2, Crystalis, Shadowgate, Faxanadu

    Either NES Zelda would be great, yeah.

    StarTropics would also be sweet. Or Metroid.

    I agree with StarTropics, that game was awesome.

    What about Mission: Impossible?

    Blaster Master
    Whomp 'Em
    Hook
    Superman
    Uninvited
    Takeshi no Chousenjou
    Legacy of the Wizard

    If you don't do any of these I certainly will. In fact I think I'll tackle Blaster Master, Superman and Hook.

    [Let's Play] are for obscure gems that most people would never look into otherwise, right? And for poking fun?
