History WebVideo / Chrontendo

* PrecisionFStrike: He showed one in the game ''Bakutoushi Patton Kun'' in chrontendo episode 34. It was apparently due to a BlindIdiotTranslation.

* {{Leitmotif}}: The theme he uses to introduce a new game (affectionately called "Game Info Screen Music") is always the same one (for chrontendo it is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnUc1ItdfJk "Tin Cans (Puerto Rican Remix)" by Tortoise]] and for chronsega it is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-I-WkPkdqTY The Boss theme of Fantasy Zone]]). It has been averted a few times though.

* ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontLike: When he had to review ''Manga/{{Akira}}'' in chrontendo episode 40 he noted that he found the show to be overrated.

* ArtEvolution: Chronsega episode 8 is very different in presentation compared to all previous chronsega episodes.

Chrontendo is a series on the internet that begun in 2008 and still runs today. The series is mainly dedicated towards one man that calls himself Dr. Sparkle who plays every single official game released on the NES/Famicom in chronological order.

* AnachronismStew: Despite him showing games in chronological order he said that he did not play the games in chronological order. He noted this in chrontendo episode 46 when he reviewed ''Hissatsu Doujou Yaburi''. He said that before this game he played a game called ''Tenkaichi Bushu Naguru'' before ''Hissatsu Doujou Yaburi''. He praised ''Tenkaichi Bushu Naguru'' for being a fighting game/RPG hybrid and for being original, but ''Hissatsu Doujou Yaburi'' is also a fighting game/RPG hybrid and it came out earlier.
* AprilFoolsDay: His chron-CD-I [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-67BV7mJ5LI "preview"]] was posted on 1 April 2012. One only needs to see the game featured to know that it is not for real.

* BoomerangBigot: In his chron-CD-I preview he said that the fact that Americans went gaga over low-tech junk such like the Super Nintendo and even the Genesis to be the reason why Americans have no taste whatsoever.
* BrokeTheRatingScale: He did this in Chrontendo episode 12. When the time arrived to review ''Super Monkey Daibouken'', he turned the colouring negative and played the music reversed.

* TheCameo: Chrontendo has noted that pretty much every Creator/{{Konami}} game ever features a Moai head.

* DamnYouMuscleMemory: In Chrontendo episode 42 he said that he had difficulties enjoying the NES version of Q*Bert. He said that it was probably the best port of Q*Bert around that time and perfectly acceptable by 1989 standards, but he said that he had difficulties to enjoy it because he was not habituated to the button lay-out.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Chrontendo episodes 1 and 2 have been given a revised edition. Considering that it were the first episodes made by chrontendo you already get the idea why this trope comes in effect.

* EvolvingCredits: At the beginning of chrontendo Dr. Sparkle mentioned the site in the credits section. Chrontendo episode 38 marks the point at which he stops mentioning the site and starts mentioning where he got his music from.
* FakeDifficulty: Some games he reviews have invisible items that you need to progress in the game. He said in his review of Doreamon in chrontendo episode 13 that he found it to be lazy programming and a pathetic excuse to not put much content in the game.
* {{Fanservice}}: He noted the fact that Western NES games have a tendency to feature more sexy girls than is the case with Japanese games when he started reviewing ''VideoGame/DefenderOfTheCrown'' in chrontendo episode 47
* FollowTheLeader: There's also Generation 16, who does the same thing but instead of reviewing games of the 8-bit generation, he reviews games of the 16-bit generation. He's actually liked by Chrontendo and Dr. Sparkle considers it to be his rival series, as evidenced in chronsega episode 8 when he had to review ''VideoGame/AlteredBeast''.

* GainaxEnding: In chrontendo episode 39 he said that he can not take anymore games in the Family Trainer series, so he says that he would immediately skip to chrontendo episode 183 to play ''VideoGame/SuperMetroid''. While the end makes sense on a psychological level, it undermines what chrontendo is all about. Thankfully what he said in the ending never happened and chrontendo episode 40 still came along as usual.

* GuiltyPleasure: As noted in this [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trXHJEljEeE video]] he noted that he had guilty pleasures (like everyone). In his case it was the ''Music/{{CHVRCHES}}'' album ''the bones of what you believe''. He noted that it was dumb, fluffy pop music but also that it is actually well made.

* ImportFilter: He takes it off and shatters it into tiny little pieces. Not suprising, since he also reviews all the games that came out on the Japanese Famicom. He also says that this is also why he dislikes some games that other people like.

* ItIsPronouncedTropay: In chrontendo episode 12 he told the audience how to pronounce ''Aigina no Yogen''.

* MadeInCountryX: In chrontendo episode 48 he noted that the worst games of the episode were ''Hollywood Squares'', ''Sesame Street ABC'' and ''Bad Street Brawler'' and that it was a good pitcher for the horrible video games being produced in the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth.

* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: In the very early episodes of Chrontendo Dr. Sparkle always noted the amount of games that had a Ninja in them.
* NintendoHard: He criticized that a lot of NES games are considered this in chrontendo episode 44. Saying that they seem easy when you compare them to ''Holy Diver''.

* RefugeInAudacity: When he reviewed Animal Attack Gakauen in chrontendo episode 27, he noted that a lot of Japanese video game programmers hide their bad programming skills by using wacky themes. Also taken UpToEleven in episode 46 when he reviewed ''VideoGame/MonsterParty'', as he said that the game was very incompetently programmed but that in the end it was so wacky that you could not help but loving it. In the end he tied it up with the NES adaptation of ''Film/{{Willow}}'' as the best game he played during the episode because of how creative and original ''VideoGame/MonsterParty'' was.

* TheStinger: From Chrontendo episode 32 onwards and finishing with chrontendo episode 38 every chrontendo episode had one (with the exception of chrontendo episode 37). It was usually a fragment of a TV Show, Film or music video that he was talking about in the episode itself.

* WeAllLiveInAmerica: In chronsega episode 5 Dr. Sparkle asked who actually had a UsefulNotes/SegaMasterSystem in (roughly estimated) February 1988. Many people noted afterwards that many people in Europe did have one by then.

As time passed he has also started Chronsega, which reviews every single {{SegaMasterSystem}}/{{SegaGenesis}} game in chronological order, and Chronturbo, where he reviews all the games for the {{Turbografx16}}.

* WeAllLiveInAmerica: In chronsega episode 5 Dr. Sparkle asked who actually had a SegaMasterSystem in (roughly estimated) February 1988. Many people noted afterwards that many people in Europe did have one by then.

* CaptainObvious: When he reviews a sequel, he's usually going to note that it's a sequel, just so that he can talk more about the franchise.

** He also tends to be dismissive toward games made outside Japan.

* EightPointEight: Dr. Sparkle sometimes dislikes otherwise well-received games, among them ''TheBattleOfOlyumpus'', ''WizardsAndWarriors'', ''PhantasyStar2'', and ''ThunderForce 2''.

* WeAllLiveInAmerica: In chronssega episode 5 Dr. Sparkle asked who actually had a SegaMasterSystem in (roughly estimated) February 1988. Many people noted afterwards that many people in Europe did have one by then.

* {{Rule63}}: He noted in ''Faria A World Of Mystery And Danger'' that the main character is female and that the character looks like Aldo from the ''VideoGame/{{Ys}}'' series in chrontendo episode 46.

* {{Leitmotif}}: The theme he uses to introduce a new game (affectionately called "Game Info Screen Music") is always the same one (for chrontendo it is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnUc1ItdfJk "Tin Cans (Puerto Rican Remix)" by Tortoise]] and for chronsega it is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-I-WkPkdqTY The Boss theme of Fantasy Zone]].
