A comedy classic!, 17 May 2005

In the late 80's during the peak of the NES popularity, the self-proclaimed World Video Game Champion named Skip Rogers released two tip tapes, both entitled "How to Score More Points at Nintendo Games." Prior to Seanbaby's review of the Yellow version in 2000, both tapes went relatively unnoticed as far as I can tell, which is an absolute shame. Although it's hard to tell if the humor is intentional, both of the Score More Points videos are a work of comic genius.

While watching the tape, it becomes quite questionable if Skip himself is actually playing the games he's reviewing. This becomes particularly questionable during the footage of Blaster Master, when Skip tells us "Don't get into fights!" just as the hero of the game helplessly tries to attack a nearby enemy for the next 20 seconds or so (and fails miserably at doing so). Moreover, Skip certainly does take his time performing the different moves featured in Wrestlemania, despite being a champion. And if that wasn't bad enough, the Double Dragon section of the tape truly takes the cake. Not only are the colors on the screen distorted due to the tape's poor visual quality, but the music for Mission 2 abruptly starts to play for a few seconds when Skip's only halfway through Mission 1, until it switches back to the level's appropriate theme without any explanation as to what happened.

Without a doubt, I give Score More Points a perfect 10 stars for it's "laugh 'till you cry" level of humor. Perhaps it's just me, but Score More Points is so funny that it's far too difficult to accurately put into words. You simply must see it to believe it!
