    This video had everything:
    -a relentless main character who's passionate about his work (video games)
    -a mcguffin-like object sought-after by thousands of people
    - a retired master of the trade that needs to be convinced by the mc
    - a rival working towards the same goal
    - a sibling that supports the main character's journey
    - comrades along the way that made it all possible
    And even at the end, even when the mc had been seemingly beaten, he still proves to be the hero, preserving the knowledge he had acquired for others who are just as passionate about video games. Nick Robinson is a true anime protagonist

    I really enjoyed the video too, very well-paced and suspenseful.

    I honestly adore that this game for no good reason whatsoever has such an incredibly dramatic, grandiose theme. It feels as though it was created specifically for the situation wherein this game would become immensely rare, and as time went on, the passwords and IDs would be lost to time, and this game would rest behind a locked password as though it were its tomb.

      People: Why didn't Coddy just brute-force it?
      The login screen required a user ID that was 6-digits long, 0-9 and A-Z. That's 36 possible characters.
      36^6 = 2,176,782,336 possible user ID's to try.
      For a computer, that might not take very long (depending on how seriously you're trying to crack the user ID), but for Coddy, he would've had to input every single possible combination by hand. Not to mention, there's a password afterwards. Granted, the password for the ID that Coddy found would have been guessed straight away, but there was no guarantee that would happen.
      Not to mention, we don't know (based on the video's information) whether or not each cartridge had a single user ID and password combination, or if, say, Nick's user ID and password would work on Coddy's game and vice-versa. If the latter, that means Coddy could have potentially come across a different user ID with a different password when brute-forcing, and therefore the password would not necessarily have been 000000.

    Holy shit, thank you so much! I love that you even included the "why collectors don't share bit". The beauty of the internet (sometimes) is when people share things in wholesome ways, and you did that. Coddy may have slightly gotten ahead in terms of unlocking the game, but you beat him in playing and sharing the game with us. To me, that's a noble and bigger win than some technicality. Thank you very much, I didn't know if I would play the game but seeing the gameplay got me interested and while I didn't have high hopes to actually play, you sharing the game is truly amazing and I thank you a lot! You make the world better (another win that Coddy won't have imo lol).
