I couldn’t have a NES. It’ll Rot yer brain.
But....Silent service was amazing...then... Fletcher class destroyer... Then I found Strike Fleet. You would think I’d join the navy after that. |

Ninja Gaiden All of them, yes Ikari Warriors ABBA When you die and you're right back into it. All hard as shit. Battletoads was impossible. People whine about Top Gun being hard. It wasn't. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I once beat Dragon Warrior while only Level 17.  If you really want to see some crazy stuff, watch some speed runs on Twitch. One guy had the Dragon Warrior RNG completely figured out, and could manipulate outcomes by deliberately cycling through the RNG. "Command?... Command... Command?..." Another guy does a speed run of Secret of Mana, showing how you can OHK bosses by manipulating a multi-tap. He also shows some neat shortcuts to skip entire segments of the game. On newer games, it's crazy how far people explore out of boundaries, under the map, or glitching through walls. It makes me feel completely mundane and unimaginative by comparison.

Fans of Bethesda games are probably one of the most prolific at that, though the janky code has a lot to do with that. I never realized just how extreme they got until 76. The number of exploits, and how quickly they were discovered and abused, was insane. Some were bad enough to induce a server crash (the strangler heart dupe). |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I looked at every store I could get in to and waited months to get TMNT. It was stupid hard, got frustrated. I was probably the first one to ever trade it in. I think TMNT cost $50, traded in for $16 and bought TigerHeli. Zelda II was the best ever game to me on NES. I handily beat it several times. The play control was perfect. Metroid I beat ONE FUCKING TIME then never could do it again. JUSTIN BAILEY loved zelda as a kid, but couldn't get into 2. the side scroll perspective killed it for me. I think I liked 1 so much I wanted 2 to be more of the same. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Those games were good. I beat them all. Then I got into King's Field on PS. Quote HistoryQuoted: Those games were good. I beat them all. Then I got into King's Field on PS. I assume you probably know but Kings Field became the Dark Souls/Demons Souls games. Folks find those hard but I find them relaxing for the most part, just a matter of figuring out the mechanics and the way the game works. I found an old game magazine where there's a little 4-5 picture preview for Kings Field when it was still in the early stages being shown in Japan. Quoted: Simon’s Quest was tough. The soundtrack is amazing though. https://i.imgur.com/6JUU9V5.jpg  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjazC45QkwwThe best NES music aside the first Legend of Zelda. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: 30+ years later and I still cannot beat Mike Tyson. The key to beating Tyson is surviving the first round. It's near impossible to beat him the first round, so bet best is to just dodge and keep from getting KO'd. He's easier in the 2nd and 3rd round, but you have to get him TKO inside one of those rounds. If it goes to decision, you will lose always. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I fondly remember getting into fist fights over that asshole "friend" that used the Raiders and Bo Jackson in Tecmo Bowl and shooting corner threes in Double Dribble. That episode of Family Guy was like reliving my childhood. We used to have Tecmo Bowl tournaments in my neighborhood. Was always a good time and yeah No Jackson was pretty much a cheat code without having to enter a code. Double Dribble was another game that brings back memories. Castlevania was another that was good. |

SNES was my introduction to gaming but I did play Mario 2 on super Mario all stars and that may have been my favorite side scrolling platformer ever. Loved that game.
The Japanese Mario 2, or what we got as The Lost Levels, was fucking brutal. |

You need to get an original NES console so you can relive the frustration of getting a game to work. TMNT the Arcade game was awesome. I recently started buying all the games I had as a kid and many of the games I wish I had back then. There is amazing nostalgia to the original NES games and even some accessories. |
