Level one: The idea

Do you ever feel nostalgic for the video games from your childhood? In a world of Twitch streaming and hyper-realistic graphics, it’s easy to look back fondly on the days of the original Super Mario Bros or Sonic the Hedgehog in all their 2D glory.

With 2022 marking the 30th anniversary of Sonic the Hedgehog 2’s release, the team at All Home Connections decided to celebrate classic video games in a big way.

We wanted to know: How do classic video games stack up against their modern versions?

To find out whether ‘90s simplicity beats out the high-tech games of today, we’re going to pay one lucky candidate and their best friend $1,889 to play their favorite video games in both their classic and modern form.

Level two: The challenge

Here’s how the Classic Video Game Challenge works.

We’ll select one pair of friends to play 20 hours of one of the following classic and modern video game pairs within two weeks:

  • Super Mario Bros (1985) vs. Mario Odyssey (2017)

  • Kirby’s Adventure (1993) vs. Kirby and the Forgotten Land (2022)

  • Donkey Kong (1983) vs. Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (2018)

  • Sonic The Hedgehog (1991) vs. Sonic Frontiers (2022)

  • Legend of Zelda (1986) vs. Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (2017)

During the two weeks of gameplay, the pair will have a task sheet where they will answer the following questions:

  • Have you played classic video games (released before 2000) before?

  • Which was more difficult, the classic or modern game?

  • Which was more fun, the classic or modern game?

  • Nostalgia check: Are the classics as good/bad as you expected?

  • Which game increased your heart rate more? The classic or modern game?

  • Would you ever play classic games on your own in the future?

Level three: The prizes

To help the pair complete the challenge, we’ll send some supplementary items to each player:

  • A Nintendo Switch, including the games needed to get them through 20 hours of gameplay

  • One-year membership to Nintendo Switch Online

  • NES access (classic video game package)

  • Heart rate watch to measure which games get them the most frustrated or pumped up

  • Snacks and swag to power them through their games

After completing the challenge, both players will split their earnings of $1,889.
