Loved that once you beat stuntmaster you get access to his drunken boxing form and stance.

Shit, I didn't know that. Stuntmaster is pretty awesome, it even holds up well by today's standards. Mostly because the camera is fixed like an old, snes era beat em' up.

if movies are art then what would be the minimum cutscene/playtime ratio that a videogame would need to achieve art status? all them laserdisc games from the 80s would totally have to be art, the interaction from the player is almost negligible.
