After watching the video above I am almost positive that NES cartridges will be sitting side by side with cockroaches watching the world burn as nuclear war destroys the rest of us. BloggerRinrywas inspired by aJapanese videoto see just how tough NES cartridges actually are. She put a few cartridges ofSuper Mario Bros.through a variety of tests to see if they’d play.

I’ll leave the outcomes for you to find out by watching the video, but needles to say, these things are some strong pieces of plastic. In case you’re worried about the poor games and their wasted potential after being destroyed, don’t be. Rinry has kept them all in her game collection. They may be damaged and look like crap, but they’re still loved. All the same, try to keep any NES cartridges away from your computer screen while watching the video as it can get pretty brutal and they might become upset.
