  In summary:<br>Game cartridge: &quot;Stay with us, folks! we&apos;re just putting on the finishing touches!&quot;<br>Lockout chip behind the curtain getting its knees broken: &quot;AAAAAAAAUGHHHH&quot;

  &quot;What would Jesus do? He would fry your Nintendo you fucking heathen&quot; is the best quote I&apos;ve ever heard.

  13% seems like a really high failure rate. More than 1/10 customers just won’t be able to use the product at all. And cartridges were expensive!

  It means, “Machine, turn back now. The layers of this palace are not for your kind, turn back or you will be crossing the will of god.”

  So glad I have MattKC to answer the most useless questions that no one’s asked. Great video as always.

  The digital re-release of Super 3-D Noah&apos;s Ark is actually pretty cool. They contacted the developers of ECWolf, the best Wolfenstein 3D source port, and had them update it to have full support for Noah&apos;s Ark. They then released the game onto a few digital storefronts, including Steam, and the ECWolf developers get a share of the profits. It even comes with the DOS version and the original SNES ROM.

  I love the idea of releasing a game for NES, it becomes a smash hit, and then Nintendo asks you to make a SNES version and you say, &quot;Sorry, it has to stay exclusive to the NES.&quot;

  So they&apos;re deadass just charging a capacitor on the cart and spiking it down the pins to the lockout chip. My god.
