Thanxx0rz dude! 
I was starting to get bummed about the whole thing. Your Raise Dead spell has revived me 
Ok the thing about those videos is that the guy who made them did them on a 780Mhz Laptop so, some of the choppiness might be YouTube's fault but a lot of it is the guy's computer just plain chops the hell out of the anims. Speeds up, slows down, lots of frames of animation go missing here and there, sound is not always in sync... I hate it 
I offered to make him a special version of the game with anims that play in super slow motion so that none of the frames would go missing (no more jarring steps) but he was not interested so I kinda forgot about it.
Now that I just bought myself a brand new 3.1Ghz bgcpc I might possibly make some videos of my own, where the gfx are all there and in sync with the sound so it will at least look and sound like it does in real life (hopefully)... I have no idea how to record such a video but at least now I have the equipment.
To the best of my knowledge (which is not very far or anything) Total Chaos was the very first playable game on YouTube. You can actually play it on YouTube. Yeah its amazingly simplistic compared to the real game and honestly might make you hate the game for how simple the YouTube version is, but it "works".
AGA: 1992 Lives Forever
This reminds me of a video I watched of one of the Fallout team members discussing the making of the original Fallout and how he pushed hard to make it a 640x480 game (which was unheard of at the time). Its a fascinating vid - but the piece out of it that got my attention was that the artists had done full VERY hires graphics for all the textures, anims, etc, that were cut down in color and size to actually run on a P1 90Mhz with 16Megs or 32 megs of ram. It would be amazing if that game was re-released with the full sized and 24 bit color graphics.
Dang it - I can't find it on the youtube. Anyways - the long and short is I love old games because they have nostalgic value, but I sure like games at 1900x1080x24 with photorealistc images, waving grass, water effects, and plot as well.
