If you're not familiar with the show, it's basically a series of hyper-condensed Let's Plays (usually 15-20m) focusing on very difficult games, mostly 8-bit and 16-bit console games like Battletoads. The host plays through the game to completion and hits the highlights of the most difficult parts, along with the strategies that worked for him. I enjoy the show because it's fun to watch somebody beat some games that I never could, and to compare his strategies with mine if it's a game I've also beaten (or was inspired to beat by the show). More importantly, I like that it's short and to the point, and written with (mostly) relevant commentary. Full-on Let's Plays tend to bore or annoy me, and I don't want to spend so much time watching them anyway.
Unfortunately the show ended a few years ago because the host hated editing the videos together. It later came back as a two-hour win-or-lose livestream, which doesn't interest me for the reasons I mentioned.
Any suggestions for similar shows?

Incidentally, I never mark recommendation threads as questions, because there isn't necessarily a single correct response that I'm looking for.
