When your finger hurts. But seriously good game! I really enjoyed the humour! :D

This was full of humor, nicely done!

Interesting little game. You managed to tackle both themes with only one button! Great job.

Good concept, needs more content though.

This isn't a bad concept, though there's not much diversity to the interaction. I would be careful about using copyrighted material though, I think most of the midis used the exact compositions of the games they were paying homage to. I did like the text and animation. With more time and care this could be a fun parody game.

Good job and good game as a result ! I really enjoyed the humour! Fun parody game with interesting details.

Simple but funny. I lost it at the ridiculous Sephiroth's katana. xD Which game is the credits music from?

Loved it, but i died and started from the beginning? Oh...

It's cute as a parody for sure! Also, I'm surprised to hear you say you sacrificed most of the graphics. Honestly the graphics looked pretty darn good compared to many LD games.

The game itself could have been a little stronger. The humor definitely keeps it entertaining though!

Funny. I wish you restarted back where you died, I made it to FF7 and let a single slime past... I wanted to see all of the games! Oh well. I like the midi/soundfont renditions of the different game themes, it gave a shlock-y, lopsided flavor to them and sold the comedy. Good work.

Nice :) As others have said, it would be nice to be able to restart from the last level your reached.

I laughed a lot. Great concept, great retro graphics. The title is neat, and the writing is very funny. I'd love to see a post-comp version with all the extra content you mentioned.

Unfortunately, while I enjoyed this a lot, it loses some points for having only very slight game content, and I'm not sure what LD's policy is on using copyrighted music.

In short, as a game: very slight. As a Flash video/tribute to nostalgic awesomeness? Great!
