The Whistling Nose Tribute to NES, SNES, and MS DOS Games

Playing Retro Games (Somtimes Poorly) on the Internet
Video games! Everyone plays 'em sometimes. I think they're neat, especially older games. But for every sensational speedrunner and terrific Twitcher (is that what they're called? I dunno...), there's just a regular Joe like me who plays them quite poorly. Besides, who wants to watch a guy play a video game well, when you could get a history lesson and a laugh instead?
That's what this feature is all about. I've been sitting on the idea for about six years now. I figured why not just get things going, now that I've built this website? Plus, it's mostly retro games, so there's a niche for ya. I do enjoy gaming, but I always find myself going back to retro games. It isn't just because I have nostalgia for them, it's because I genuinely enjoy them. I like to joke that I "have a backlog going back 25 years," which is sort of true.
I originally called this I Suck at Video Games and NES Let's Play Fails, which was a parody of video game streaming with MST3K. But after some consideration and feeling like it was a hassle to make the videos, I abandoned the project. Instead, I'm just going to talk about games I love and maybe do some gameplay videos as I get around to it. I'm doing this for fun and hope you'd like to join along. As of 3/2026, I'm very much into different kinds of Solitaire and the Mega Man X series, so we'll start with those. Feel free to reach out if you like these games or want to talk about them some time.

There's nothing here yet. I removed all the old videos because they're not reflective of what I want to do for this project. Most of them also no longer exist because Microslop's latest update bricked my computer before I had a chance to back them up. I switched to Linux Mint Cinnamon instead. It's far superior to any Microslop or Windows product (although I do still have some nostalgia for MS-DOS, Win 3.1, and Windows 95).
Expect some essays and gameplay very soon.
