Are you following Project D? If not, for shame. Nerd Balloon‘s YouTube series is a social experiment in which an old school gamer introduces an 11-year old (raised on a steady diet of modern first-person shooters) to the tough-as-spit games of yesteryear. The initial video was all about Contra. This time out, Battletoads. That’s right, Battletoads.

I’m sure that in some states exposing a kid to Battletoads is akin to child abuse, but young Dylan found the game “more easier” than Contra. He didn’t dig the graphics, but the kid proved himself not to be a graphics whore by stating that he liked the game – - props to him. After the jump, Dylan meets Mega Man 2. But how can he hate the music? Bubble Man’s stage? Aw, c’mon!
