Why did some games with graphically intense areas suffer from bad slowdown (Jackal, Iron Tank) while others did not (Super Mario 3)? Was it programming, cartridge hardware, or a little of both?

This is pretty neat- there is a website called The Cuttingroom Floor that analyzes all the leftover content they found in games:

Some NES games had tons of leftover content.

There's a cool interview with a couple of former Nintendo Help Line game counselors.
Pretty cool look into what it was like for them.

That last bit did. Not. Happen.

Most of my time spent on the NES was loving with games with Game Genie till no end. Just typing random codes, and when something cool happened, I kept track of that code and changed it a little bit to do something cooler. Eventually I could make Super Mario Bros look like a psychedelic drunken mess, with the graphics and sound. It may have done some damage to the cart or NES, I dunno.

Unfortunately that video didn't have the "SPAALONE! BABAGUUSCOOTES" Zelda glitch.

Oh my god, these are hilarious. And I found the one you're talking about.

Vinesauce has some genuinely funny videos. The SNES ones are crazy too.

Also has anyone mentioned Mr. Gimmick yet? That is supposedly the most technically advanced NES game that was developed just as the NES came to an end.

There are also some great YouTube videos on the Dendy- the Russian NES.

Hell yeah! Iron Tank kicks rear end.

I'm amazed it didn't give people seizures when you have the mega explosions that flash the screen white for like five seconds.

Here's an extremely strange Japanese NES game I discovered a few years back.

The whole first level is littered with spike pits, and toward the end this one may seem impassable until you realize that you can walk across the background as pictured. Bosses include a man with a watermelon for a head that tosses it at you like Cutman and naked superman with an erection. You may also fight back with pissing on the flowers, dancing, and summoning Satan.

Uh is this "Cho Aneki" or whatever it's called?
