Blind Super Mario Brothers.

Although it's easy to point out so many ways this could be faked, who would bother faking something so unspectacular?

Different, but not "wow".

The game came out in 1985. Come on. Find a challenge.

"Quite a few people seem to think he’s faking it, but I’m inclined to believe it’s real after reading his description on YouTube."

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.

If you truly want to be amazed check this kid out...
he uses echo location to see.. its quite amazing:

He's playing looking into a mirror. That's how I would do it anyway...

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