I’ve been playing video games my entire life, but I’m not sure I could survive this “training”.

- rgoulter 5y agoSomething which is fun to do in your free time becomes a chore if you have to do it reliably, on a deadline.
- thih9 5y agoThey likely did it as a group, so together to some extent. When someone got stuck I suppose the others would give hints and tips. Still a difficult task, but slightly easier than going at it alone.
- IntelMiner 5y agoAssuming it was paid training, 8 hours a day, 5 days a week 160 hours gives about 90 minutes per game. For the NES that's probably more than acceptable, many games were very short (Super Mario Bros can be finished by speedrunners in just 5 minutes for an extreme example)
- kevinmchugh 5y agoHow many hours do you think it takes for a player to get to the point they can finish the game in 5 minutes?
- eru 5y agoThe sub 5 minute speed run of Super Mario Bros skips most of the game via warp pipes. A more proper comparison would be the warpless category, which takes a bit less than 20 minutes. Btw, for Mario 3 the 100% record is about one hour.
