Dr. Mario - Two-Player Game (Actual NES Capture)

[Note: This video and description were originally posted on Youtube on December 30, 2016.]

This is a capture of me and another person playing Dr. Mario for the NES. This is not an emulator and was not played on the Wii U Virtual Console. This footage was recorded directly from my front-loading NES using a real Dr. Mario cartridge. I'm player one and Shelly is player two.

If you've seen my prior puzzle game uploads you probably already know that my mother was really into these games back during the NES and SNES eras. We played Tetris, Tetris 2, Dr. Mario, Yoshi and Yoshi's Cookie a bunch back in the day, as well as Tetris Attack on the SNES. We especially enjoyed Dr. Mario and Yoshi's Cookie battles when I was a kid.

Well, over the holidays I was able to record multiplayer footage with none other than my own mother, so I hope you enjoy watching the family battle. Doing this sure brought back some old memories. And just in case you're wondering, no, I didn't go easy on her!

Recorded with the Hauppauge HD PVR and a composite connection at 60 frames per second. I used a Toshiba model D-R550 DVD Recorder to upconvert the NES's native 240p signal to 480i so that the Hauppauge could capture the console's audio/video signal.

We're using standard NES controllers.
