Description
This is my reply to the ["Happy Video Game Nerd [HVGN]" . Not to any one video in general but everything he has done so far. His videos are funny, insightful and more importantly sincere. I've been a fan from his first video and have eagerly awaited each new video since.Rather than making a conventional reply I decided to take my time and make a reply in the style of my animation ["I dream in retro"] . I set it in the theme of the video I would reply too, Little Nemo - The Dream Master. Not sure why I choose to make the reply this way. I guess it just felt right, or cool. If you haven't seen his work and your an old school gamer or otherwise you owe it to yourself to check it out.
Just follow the link/ ----> [HVGN]
Anyhow enough of that. Derek if you actually see this, thanks for bringing some good memories back to the surface again. I hope your computer is up and running soon.

EDIT: I should mention there is a Youtube version [link]

Oh yeah, I've watched his videos to, he's great. Nice homage to him. (I love the game "Little Nemo: The Dreamaster," his review of it was great.) Nice animation, and game references. 
The Zelda 1 quote was funny.

I love that game so much and he did a great job on the review. It's still one of my all time favorites. I couldn't help but choose that as the setting for the reply since the whole thing happens in a dream land.
The Zelda quote kind of just popped in there. I wanted my retro counter part to give Little Derek a cheat item, and after a long list I decided on the magic key [Since it opens all locks] from Zelda 2. What better item could you ask for in a game where you constantly collect keys. Anyhow once I decided on the item the quote just came into my mind. It was perfect.

I remember finding that key for the first time in Zelda 2, it was a pretty handy item. And yeah, I love Nemo alot to.
I heard the original comic strip "Little Nemo" is in public domain now, so it might be possible for Capcom to rerelease it on Virtual Console, or something.

I don't know why they haven't put this to VC yet. They have resealed some poor games on VC and continue to ignore the greats. Blows my mind.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, it's odd. It's getting kinda annoying how they've been releasing onley 1 VC game a week. (In favor of WiiWare and such.)
Europe & Japan got "Zelda: Majora's Mask" a month before the USA did for VC.
But yeah, they need to start releasing more then just Commodore 64 titles. I would squeel like a li'l girl if Nemo comes to VC.

They also need to get some Star Tropics on VC. Seriously.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Acctually, I think both Star Tropics games are availible on VC now.
I'll definatelly give those a shot, sence I've never played them, and I hear they're good.

Seriously?! How the hell did I miss that?! I'm gonna go look lol.
The first is far better than the second but they are both great.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, that's what the "Happy Video game Nerd" said. Both are good, but the first is far better. (His Duck Tales review was pretty good to. I never got the "special" ending for that one.)
I did see one guy on DA say ST2 was better, so I guess it depends on tastes. Still, I'll give the first one a shot first.

Thanks for the comment and fav. I'm glad you enjoyed this, if you haven't done so already you should check out my other animation "I dream in retro". I think you will like that one too.

Wow! Cool preloader! Can give it to me to work it out?
Dandy rocks

Thanks but I can't take credit for it. It's pretty much the official deviant art preloader. Made by someone more skilled in flash than I. All the info is here. [link]

Well according to Derek's Twitter account this is the best fan video he's seen! So I guess you hit the mark.
