Watching it as I type, actually.

Rare stream? Bladder problems?

When it's ready. >

we did in the play choice 10 and vs system

Apple II, Atari 8-bit, and C64, in North America all received a Goonies port.

What rubbish, looks like a CoCo 2 port. lol

Wait, I see there's a CoCo 3 version... and it looks awesome!

i watched the whole vid on youtube, it pretty much sums up every Mario 64 run i've seen, lol. my son and i both cracked up.

If you just watch the pieces and not the player, you get the impression he's not even trying that hard.

that video was nuts!

VERY impressive!

I believe the DC got a honorary retro label due to it was the last console Sega made. It was accepted as retro even before the N64 was. But yes, that is a strange way to define it, if it meant nearly the end of a company it makes people nostalgic, but if the company made enough profit to live on, not so much.

Honestly I consider Sega Saturn to be the last of the retro systems.

Not classic or retro. It's modern. As modern as one of them Sega Genesis things the kids are all playing now.

Anyway, that shouldn't make you feel old.

What should make you feel old is that we're now as far away from the release of the original Star Wars, as Star Wars was from the middle of the Great Depression.

It is really hard, but IMHO not that great a game and not worth the trouble of sticking with it.

I actually like this game a lot. Guilty pleasure, maybe?

The arcade version was worse. I mean, it looked better, but even more frustrating.

LMAO! I can never get over his voice

It isn't real, but us homebrewers can collectively make it real. It's God's work.

Yep. I stumbled upon them quite some time back. Kind of iffy show, but I'll watch it if there's nothing else new.

One of my first NES games back in the day. I managed to beat Achilles eventually!

I got the game just the other day and I beat it today. Not a long or very difficult game, but fun. The difficulty is comparable to "Golden Axe" on the Sega Genesis.

Well done! Did you use the sawblade icon? It really helps on bosses.

I usually use the sawblade on the first two bosses and the two dog boss.

Awesome job!!

Not an easy thing to do. Congrats!

I can beat Mega Man, Castlevania, CV 3 Dracula's Curse, Contra, Legend of Zelda, and Adventure of Link without losing a life. But Batman is insane hard, regardless of life losing or credit clear. I tip my cap to you. Tough as nails game.

ok mbd30, it's time to tackle Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Ultra version)

Congrats on the upgrade and happy Thanksgiving to you too! =)

Hope you had a great holiday and conquered some more games.

"Hope you had a great holiday and conquered some more games. "

Thanks.

I've been trying to get through Volkmire's Inferno in "Battletoads" but it gets so fast near the end that I don't know that my reflexes are up to it. I may have to use a warp to make progress.

I remember when it cost $15 for a CIB copy. Then I remember when $50 was a good deal (literally just three years ago). It's crazy how much it has jumped.. Whatever collector bug has hit the SNES, it's obviously made its way over to the Genesis now.

Just get the EverDrive-MD v3 from Krikzz and download the Genesis ROM's - you won't bother buying another loose cart again.

Wii Virtual Console $8

congrats!

So when are you going to beat Battletoads? It sounds like you are ready.

I finally got past the snake pit today and played a little bit of Volkmire's.

I had to take a break from Battletoads for awhile so I focuses on beating Ninja Gaiden III. Yes, that game seems easy and relaxing compared to Battletoads.

I wrap my cables into a loose loop, about the span of my hand, then twist them into a figure-8 and bind them in the middle with a twist tie. I don't use rubber bands (they dry out and leave sticky residue), and I don't use zip ties since they have to be cut off.

The key is to keep the cables loose and free of sharp bends: if you wrap them tightly around the controller or tie them into sheepshank knots, they'll be much harder to straighten.

Yes....my SNES and Genesis cables have "twisted" awfully. This has 0 to do with wrapping the cord or not, as I have handled different controllers different ways. Straight to start, and then over time, you;d think someone was spinning the damn things like a disco ball.

I hate it when I get my schwartz cable twisted

The gripeful thing about NG3 is the timekeeping. It don't reset once you clear part of an act.

That's what makes it very difficult to do a no death run of this game... for people who are good enough to not die except for the time limit on act 7.

Just memorize the enemy placement, and you are good. Unlike the other two games, enemies (like the flying ones) don't constantly respawn.

This game definitely gets easier with practice and memorization.

At first I thought that act 5 would be impossible then then I figured out ways to get through it.

If your nearby mall has a FYE store, then get yourself a USB SNES gamepad. It's great for using with Nintendo emulators...

NEVER play anything system on an LCD TV that came out before the Xbox and Gamecube.

Yep. Because I'm a retro gamer who doesn't care much about new games, I always want to have a CRT around.

Like they said, we've had two great threads here recently.

I picked up a copy in July at a gameshow for 45 .

It helps that you're granted an extra life every 100,000 points.

Like I said, I always felt this was the easiest of the three games.

There are some tricky level designs that make the game seem more challenging at first. The environmental conditions take some getting used to.

But it's easier than the first game in a lot of other ways. You get the two clones. With two clones and ninpo you can defeat anything. You now have the fire shield as an item. The last level in NG2 is much easier than act 6 in NG1. The final bosses are also easier, except that I think the second form is still tough with just the sword.

Why you think I used the 30 man code on it?

The arcade version is amusing just for the voices. "Destroy dangerous antibiotics!"

I thought I beat the game at level 6 but nope it kicked me back to 4 and I ran out of continues. Used the Konami code.
