Can the Super Mario Bros. save the Princess from the hands of Donkey Kong?  It’s a real life video game that takes place up and down the Las Vegas Strip!  You can bet the tourist cameras are rolling and we get viral video gold!   This hilarious video was uploaded last December by the Youtube group known as Bangakang.  They have some pretty outrageous videos online, including jumping into the world’s biggest pile of leaves and creating a slip-n-slide with 52 gallons of chocolate syrup.  The last one sounds like a blast! Costumed characters are becoming all the rage in New York, Los Angeles, and on the Las Vegas Strip.  Usually, the performer (some of those dressing up don’t technically qualify as performers) will pose for pictures and interact with tourists for a small tip.  Just be warned: some of these guys can get hostile if you don’t tip.  One dirt bag was recently arrested in New York City for dressing up as Elmo and hurling racist slurs as tourists – all while having a criminal background.  Yeah, that worked out well… Super Mario and Donkey Kong made their video game debuts in arcades in 1981.  Mario was forced to climb a series of ladders to rescue the Princess being held by the large ape above.  Donkey Kong would get several sequels and Mario would be paired with his brother Luigi for their first sequel, Mario Bros, where they had to battle creatures in the sewers of New York.  Later, they would move into the Mushroom Kingdom to again save the Princess from the evil King Koopa.  Super Mario Bros. is one of the best and highest selling video games of all time. Costumes for Mario and Luigi are sold online and at Halloween...

You take an arcade game, add a hamburger-making chef in a kitchen gone wild, and you’ve got yourself hours of guaranteed fun!  BurgerTime, the 80s arcade classic still entertains in the 21st century and has players lining up for seconds! BurgerTime, created by Data East, was released in 1982 to arcades and the home video game market.  The original overseas title was Hamburger, but was changed shortly before release. The game play is simple.  You are chef Peter Pepper and your job is to assemble 4 hamburgers per level in a kitchen made of ladders and vertical platforms.  To do this, you must walk the length of the ingredient (2 buns, lettuce, and meat) that are positioned on each platform.  Walking across an ingredient will cause it to fall to the level below causing a chain reaction that will knock the ingredients to a waiting plate below.  Additional levels also add a layer of cheese and tomato. Assembling four burgers clears the level and the game moves on to the next scene. Sounds easy?  Not so fast!  Peter is being chased through each round by a team of enemy ingredients who want to smash him into hamburger! • Mr. Dog – a giant hot dog wiener • Mr. Egg – a giant sunny side up egg • Mr. Pickle – a giant pickle slice that appears starting with round 2   Touching an enemy in any way costs Peter a life.  The game begins with 5 lives. The enemies can be outrun, smashed by dropping an ingredient from a level above, or temporarily stunned by Peter spraying them with a pepper shot.  Peter begins the game with 5 pepper shots and can earn more by collecting bonus foods such as a cup of coffee, an...
