I'm sitting here watching YouTube videos and just learned that Kung Fu for the nes just loops and keeps your score. I got all the way to one hit on the last boss before he flipped everything and took all my life. After that I quietly quit that game.

I also don't know if I've beaten a link between worlds or a link between time. Zelda games endings just don't seem as exciting to me. You get to Gannon and all of that exploration and mystery goes out of the window for pattern observation. It's one of the least interesting parts of the game.

Trying to remember if I beat Mario 2. I feel like I have I remember the end but don't remember the final fight.

You?

I just beat Mega Man 10 on easy mode last month.

Ninja Gaiden 1 - 3 are exercises in futility.

I did beat NG 1 and 2 though.

was the pinnicle

and the second form would fuck me up, sending my ass right back to the beginning of the game after I ran outta lives.

It was a good lesson tho; I learned to let go and let God.

Gave up on Mega Man 2.

Which is sad, being as I have Mega Man Anniversary Collection somewhere around.

I hate Metroid with a passion. Terrible game play, in my opinion.

I could list a grip of old 2600 games here too, but they were all because of the terrible gameplay. One game called "Kangaroo" used to particularly irk me.

Still a fucking masterpiece game, though.

You know it's drama, but it sound real good.

I just could never get used to the controls on that game. Plus, it was a rental from Blockbuster so I only had a weekend to play it.

Kid Icarus was another game that used to drive me crazy with the weird controls. Then there were games like Back to the Future for NES that just sucked. Forced-scrolling games suck.

You just may as well turn the game off. Takes 35 to kill her and you'll need the rest for the regenerating tubes. And take that damn Ice Beam with you-there's a reason the game has two of them.

Tried even in my adult years lol. Got to the boss as a kid but never could take it down

unbeatable... just AT-AT after AT-AT.

I got that jawn at the crib. Yeah, I don't think it's beatable.

Add "Stealth" to the list as well. Forgot if it was NES or 2600, but I don't think that game ever ends.

i'd even fly the snowspeeder to last AT-AT on the screen and attack from the back of the pack, hoping that would make a difference in stopping 'em.

completely useless. lol

Like you said, you just keep blowing up AT-ATs for eternity.

The game ends when the players fifth speeder is destroyed or when the lead walker reaches Ecbo Base, destroying it. As the game progresses, the walkers move more rapidly, increasing the difficulty level.


So basically there isn't an ending.

Can't even remember where I left off. I was pretty far along, but there were too many times I was riding around on that damned horse trying to figure out what I need to do next.

That bitch took forever and I made it to the last castle...then I had to return the game cause it was a rental. Motherfuckers.

Another one that hurts my soul is Final Fantasy 7..my bootleg memory card died when I got to the last area. Figure that was 40 hours or so of time into smoke...

with a chainsaw...

but I was gonna be damned if I let it beat me.

>with a chainsaw...

Zelda 3 might be my all-time favorite game.

I was 17 and staying with my mom and stepdad. He worked nights so that's when I was able to play. Most of the time he didn't notice the ps was on but he always shut me down at some point.

I did manage to get to the last discs of both FF stories at different times and I beat MGS, but both came after several attempts.

That shit was risky as fuck with the final fantasy's...at least Metal Gear MIGHT be fun on a redo

Metal Gear can be beaten in a day if you spend all your time on it.

Final Fantasy tho? It took me over 72 hours in game time to beat it, that's because I had to do everything even breed those damn Chocobos so I could get the gold one and travel to the secret location to get the Knights of the Round spell.


If someone would have turned my PS off while I was on the last disc I would have been SICK! Prob would have quit video games all together.

I think it took me 45 hours. But once I went back to do all the stuff I missed that is when it got stupid. Beating those giant monsters. Wtf were they called? But you had to call in Knights of the Round like 29492482849284928 times. with that 2 minutes cut scene. FUCK THAT!

No mistakes. Three lives... lose them and you gotta start ALL THE WAY OVER.

Video games done got soft now, with their HPs, saves and restore points.

Remember leaving the console on overnight so you can pick back up the next day?

At least that didn't heat up. That NES stay on and you gotta try to hide the light from your parents while also trying not to cover it for over heating.

Mike wasn't the funnest fight because of having to watch for that blinking eye all the time.

it didn't come w/out bloodshot eyes and shrieking profanities into the wee hours tho.

Memory cards felt like they were made for me, lol. I've bought Mario 1, 2, & 3 for 3DS, and still haven't beaten any of them.

using the warps in Mario 8, you come out in 8-1 and you can still manage

there may as well not even be any warps in Mario 2. You skip anything and you miss so many new enimies. EVERYTHING is trying to kill you on the last world.

I played that game for months and could never beat it. One night I do. I get all the way to bowser. Have him break the blocks, fall, then the game glitches out and the door to exit never appears. Add that on to when you're in the castle there's no timer. I had to reset the game. I was heartbroken. I beat it again years later.

he always got the new Sonic games within a week of release. I really don't think he even really touched the games til i was over there but we were on a quest to beat this one like we beat Sonic 2 so we're playing for months and can't get past the Carnival Zone

until ONE DAY we finally beat it and make it to Ice Cap (probably the greatest level intro and song in any Sonic game). His mom needed to vaccuum in the room so we hit pause cause we're like, 'we probably need to chill out anyway' cause we were so HYPE.

so she finishes and we go back to play, but the shit had frozen up. We figured she'd hit something when she was in there but talking about it when we were older I think we had been playing for about 8 hours so the system was probably ready to explode

AND it messed up the save.

I had a field day with that shit.

there was a debug code for every game tho

i was always more preoccupied with beating the game and getting everyting the normal way

You could essentially overlay any level with your own.

Platforms, loops, springs, rings, spikes, whatever. You could still add usual game genie style cheats to the mix but the sonic debug mode wasn't just infinite lives or items or what have you.

It's basically a game into itself.

I had a lot of fun screwing with it back in the day. I wish I could find my old Genesis... I have the games but the console is lost somewhere at my parents' house.

Mega-man kicked my ass, Hell any Mega-man game does
I had to cheat to beat Super Mario Brothers
I could never beat the last level on Punch Out

It took about 16 hours and I paused my NES for like 4 of those to go out an play but I did it. That shit fried my AC adapter tho. But I beat a lot of games as a kid that people said were impossible or hard.

I'm from the city of sun and seas,
wind breeze, money make love turn to enemy, highest crime rate in the vicinity

I've beat Metroid a bunch, Super Metroid quite a few times

got to the boss on Metroid Prime and couldn't do it, gave up cuz each time got beat had to climb up again with the stupid metroids attacking and got tired of it

Super Metroid is probably all-time top ten, and I've beaten it maybe a dozen times total (including the less than 3 hour run).

but I didn't have enough missiles for the final Metroid Prime boss and never wanted to mine the entire world for the ones I missed. great game for its time, however.

--------

Both within the same year from 11 to 12.

The first was with an older cousin who have me his Luigi (his older brother had Mario) because he was bored.

So he came back after like 2 levels and I wouldn't give it up. I even offered to switch off levels but he wasn't havin it.

He hit me and I hit him and it was on. I had him pinned in a ground and pound and he got me in the head a few times with a glass bowl of cat food. Put me out for the rest of the day and I'm confident that I got a concussion from that. But hey... It was the principle.

The second was my aunt's friend's kid who I knew from school. He wouldn't give up the controller on Castlevania 3 after he died and threatened to tell his mom about about a fight I had at school. She would have told my aunt, and I was already in trouble for another one and since his mom knew the deal, he knew I'd be fucked.

I went from broke and beat his ass. The little bitch walked home in the middle of the got desert. So I had a fight caught a whoopin over Castlevania but again... It was the principle.

Every kid was allowed 30 minutes on the N64 a day. I had just sat down for mine. This nigga came through and said, "Your time is up" and snatched the sticks out my hand like this was jail and he phone checkin, so I took flight on his punk ass. Neither of us got to play after that.

The first summer my cousin got the NES, I couldn't play anytime he was around, which was probably morning til midnight. So, I would play from fuckin midnight to 6, by myself, and hope he wouldn't notice that shit was fire hot when he got there to play in the morning. Even today, I still might not even turn on the Xbone until 1 or 1:30.

Also, because of that, my house rule has always been "No single player games while there's multiple people around." I hate watching other people play games. I have no idea how that shit is a hit on YouTube.

Cousins house which was right near mine. My game, his house. We used to do the winner keeps going and the losers has to hand over the sticks.

They didn't know I studied under Fei Long. I never lost that day. We had like 6 other kids over and they couldn't handle me. Cousin gets pissed and tells me to give him his controller back. Why? I'm still winning. He throws the player 2 controller at me and hits me dead in my chest with it hard. I get up and rock him upside the head. He unplugs the entire snes and storms out of his own room. I grab my game and leave.

We were friends the next day.
I know one thing though, he caught this work IRL too that day

We had two major arcades that had heavy traffic, but places like the movie theater and bowling alley also had small arcades. I damn near lived in the one at the grocery store, which was by far the most active arcade in town. the guy who owned the machines kept it well stocked with the latest and greatest and if you were there when he was collecting or putting in a new machine, he’d hit you with a grip of credits as well as intel on anything on the horizon.

Anyhow, he had some sort of problem getting KOF 95 but he let me know the bowling alley had it. The bowling alley was dead on the arcade front during school hours so I had plenty of time to myself.

Anyhow this kid I knew from the other arcade showed up one day and was surprised to see me. He kept talking about how there’s usually nobody at the bowling alley during the day, saying things like “aren’t you going to get in trouble for ditching school?” and whatnot. Anyhow dude burns through like two dollars in quarters against my Iori/Terry/Kensou team and he’s getting increasingly pissed and spitting all kinds of shit about me being cheap (I wasn’t), how I was cheating (nope )and making all kinds of excuses from his joystick not working or whatever.

So we switched sides so he could use the “good” stick… .and he got his ass whooped again.

So now he fucking loses it and asks me if I want to “go for real”.

I burst out laughing and asked if he was serious and he was like YEAH YOU THINK YOUR TOUGH CAUSE YOU CAN BEAT ME IN A GAME?

I asked him if he thought he was tough because he had a pony tail, which he did.

So he got in my face and told me “COME ON LETS GO OUTSIDE THEN!”

I smiled and said I was down if he was, but asked him if he wanted to give me all his money now or wait until we got to the train tracks.

He knew what I was referring to and that was the end of that.
