Found the smb1 bug exploit avi here: [http://www.phauna.org/~ogunden/fun/](http://www.phauna.org/~ogunden/fun/) it’s 99MB ---

Yup, I saw this a while ago on another message board… **IT’S A FAKE**. However, the video of a guy beating the original Quake, on Nightmare mode, in something like fifteen minutes, is VERY impressive. ---

By fake do you mean he used some cheats? What was up with that level after he beat Bowser’s Castle? I have that Quake video too. It’s amazing. ---

By fake it means that he did it frame by frame on an emulator and it took two years to complete. Sorta like putting a cartoon together. ---

While any way you flip the coin there was some serious skill portrayed here, I still found myself thinking over and over: I don’t remember Mario being able to run that fast or jump that high 😕 The speed of his movements on the map between levels was also highly suspect. > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by rjung \* > \*\*Since it seems like nobody knows this guy’s name, it’s not much of an immortality, is it? 😉 \*\* It’s at the end of the movie. ---

I was curious about the Quake video mentioned above. Found a DL link for it [here](http://www.planetquake.com/qdq/qdqwav.html) if anyone else is interested. Not for the speed-impaired (165 MB). The guy is a fiend with those rocket jumps. ---

Yeah, this one is fake, but very impressive. The crazygodtechnique one is legit though ---

That thing is a mess. They could have had better quality at 1/10th the file size.
