Each game is allotted 1.1 seconds of screentime so that 749 unique games, and intro and credits can fix into a 15 minute video. The vid features remixes of classic gaming scores, and the official page at nesguide (link below the video) lists all games, soundtrack and credit info, and links to extended gameplay videos for each game. Pretty impressive stuff.
Equally impressive is an event that occurred simultaneously through the video's production.[/ALIGN]
More after the break.
The picture pretty much says it all, so there's no real need for me to go into intrinsic detail. The live event was streamed at the project sponsor's websites: NintendoAge.com, RetrowareTV.com, and ScrewAttack.com, as well as Pat The NES Punk's official website, ThePunkEffect.com.
The event raised $8,074.05 of the anticipated $10,000 to benefit the Penny Arcade founded Child's Play charity, which is aimed at giving toys and games to hospitalized children. The viewership garnered 488 unique contributors, and Wikipedia lists this as the first event of 2010 to support the charity (see below).
As well as serving as an inspiration for how you can help promote well-being and have done doing it, the event also serves a pretty good index of the NES game library the next time you need to remember an old favorite or find a new one
