Different, but not "wow". The game came out in 1985. Come on. Find a challenge. Although it's easy to point out so many ways this could be faked, who would bother faking something so unspectacular?

Holy crap, someone actually read the description? Thank you. Just by reading the second half you can tell that I've memorized the whole thing. I mean, read it while playing the video. Except where I screw up and have to fix , you could program a robot to do this using my instructions.

There are no impressive moves in here that really require much in the way of timing. In 1-1 he just takes the pipe. In 1-2 he runs across the top of the level and jumps a couple of times to make sure he doesn't fall into a hole. I was really disappointed. Who cares if he's really doing it?

With enough practice it wouldn't be that amazing. It would be more impressive (but probably not realistic) if he was actually blind. With enough practice it wouldn't be that amazing.

Can't hear those buzzers and bells
Don't see lights a flashin'
Plays by sense of smell
Always gets a replay
Never tilts at all
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball

I can beat the game in under 7 minutes. I'm awesome. I could do the whole game and I'll prove it by wearing a blindfold. I can beat the game in under 7 minutes. I'm awesome.
