[Courtesy of the University of California marching band](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QNI3W8UB-s) at the Cal vs Washington football game. It’s too bad the video was shot from the wrong side, cause every thing’s upside-down. A few parts the music isn’t all that great, but I can’t tell if the band was having trouble (they were the trickier parts of the songs,) or if it’s just the audio from the video camera. ---

I heard the Mortal Kombat and Legend of Zelda themes in there. Lots of Mario Bros tunes. ---

There’s some Metroid in there, too. Yeah, I think I can tell The Legend of Zelda apart in there, too. ---

The announcer introduces many of the games. I’ve seen a better video of this where the announcer can be clearly heard, it’s in the right direction (or is this the right direction? The Mario stage is rightside up), and the action is closer to the field. But, in order: Pong Tetris Mortal Kombat (vs. the Stanford Tree) Pokémon (featuring Oski, the Cal mascot, and the USC Trojan) Legend of Zelda Super Mario Bros. (Oski and Mario team up to defeat the Tree and Trojan) ’ Needless to say, Stanford and USC are Cal’s biggest rivals. ---

Pokemon? Crap. I thought that was Metroid. ---

Dude, we did a video game show last year. What a bunch of copy-cats. Granted, we had less time, but we did Super Mario and Zelda too. And Guitar Hero. ---
