It's such a shame to see it abandoned like a defunct and forgotten amusement park. Spam from the likes such as Hasnain Raza, Syed Kazim Ali, and Adnan Khan now choke the comments section like so many weeds. Dr. Sparkle has apparently not even checked in here in many months, or else they'd surely be deleted. Dr. Sparkle, show us you still care and throw us a bone. An update--any update--would be greatly appreciated. Your fans understand that you're busy, but any message at all would hopefully re-spark some of the momentum that has been lost. If the best we can get anymore is one episode per year, I'll take it, but it bums me out that this once-great blog is dead in its tracks.Allen Youngnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186345736950611814.post-73640128182537112312014-07-28T20:36:53.487-07:002014-07-28T20:36:53.487-07:00I would love nothing better than to be proven wron...I would love nothing better than to be proven wrong.

I would recommend maybe following his twitter instead of just refreshing the page all the time. (I used to do the same.) All the interesting Chrontendo updates seem to be on twitter now.

After watching all three Mario versions, I realized that my memories from 20 years ago will be insufficient to answer that question. You need to find people with a SNES hooked up, I'd say.
