this is one of my alltime fav genesis (or any 16bit system) games. It is quite hard and I dont think I ever made it anywhere near the end. I think I'll try to get a rom of this so i can revisit it. It's been years since I've played it!

There are some insane people out there... inhuman videogame gods. I probably don't have the software needed for this movie, but just reading the tricks he described.. sheesh.

Whoever made this and a lot of the doom2 "hell revealed" best times... oh my god..

This movie was made by me in Gens 9a, and later i 9c. I played at 6-10% speed to make frame-precision manuevers
so in his case at least, he wasn't actually doing it.
thanks for the recommendation!

Oops... he played at 6-10 percent speed... I didn't even read that. I don't know what software to use to view it and havn't even seen it myself. But if you want to watch videogame gods, the best times by people in hell revealed for doom 2 is probably the way to go.. sadly I can't watch those either. (I think I tried before and the environment and buttons pushed go out of sync due to certain random things in the environment that occur differently in the demo).
By the way... simpsons season two... SUCKS. every episode so far.. especially the one about homer growing hair and some fag named carl comes over and starts flirting with homer.

I just beat bloody freakin swamp right now. The game is paused on the next level. You have to start the level running instead of jumping and in the place with rubber blocks going downward you have to run jump and hit your head on the 2nd or 3rd.

I had 18 continues when I got there, heh heh. But I think I used up 5 on that level. This game probably isn't all that hard after you know what to do. It's better than any sonic platformer I've played though.

I loved this back when I was around 12 years old. I'm not sure if I would still like it today, as my standards have changed and I've become jaded as far as video games are concerned.
Anyone remember Ghostbusters for Genesis? That was GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD

dude forced entry is 30x harder than that swamp level, butg yewah that swamp level usually kills me a few times
btw I LOVE that game it is my bitch though I've finished it a couple of times but I was a fucking kid chameleon freak for a while, some of the sounds are fucking badass, like when he turns into the rhino dude
and the music is wicked

Damn, I can't believe you have the name of a level memorized, heh heh. I know exactly which one that is too.. yeah, it's a pain in the ass.
I just beat the game! (I actually went some path that skipped bloody swamp (but I did have to do forced entry this time)) The final marathon took tons of my lives because I never did it before. The last level is "plethola" and one of those heads with about 16 eyes that shoots mini homing heads which in turn shoot mini homing heads. I think I beat him out of pure luck on my fourth or so try only. I just trapped him on top bouncing on him rapidly with the fly. The ending was brief but fine for me. I don't really need a big visually rewarding ending since the goal of beating it is the reward.. You free the people trapped in the game and it shows sprite characters of the videogame creators, then it just resets.
brokephones- I've never played ghostbusters. I'll have to eventually. Damn, videogames are my reality.

There's actually cheat to get from level two to plethora google for it if you don't know it involves jumping on a p block above the flag and crawling to the left off it, but ther'es more to it I think than I'm remembering (like no prize bonuses or something).
I like the people sprites they used for the developer credits :)

Um... put me on the spot mate! I liked a lot of the generic mario games. Mario World was one of the greats, kirby's adventure on the NES, excitebike on the NES, Mario Kart (the first one), man.. all I can remember is the really obvious ones, sorry. Haven't played videogames for years. Heh anyone evfer read superplay or cvg back in the day. That Ed Lomas, what a card.

Kirby's adventure was great! I should get that again. It was really easy though. Ha ha, oh yeah mariokart... that is a great hard game too. The freakin princess throwing those shrinking mushrooms at you... oh man.. have you noticed her facial expression when she's right behind you? She gets pissed when she's not in the lead... spoiled little princess bitch. I should try and beat contra snes on the hardest again now. I never read superplay or cvg or know what they are.

Yeah, it was freakin hard all right and I beat it on my very last life if I remember right. The game is designed carefully to make that happen it seems. I did it a longish time ago and the end boss does one final transformation on the hardest... I don't even remember exactly what it was now.. something about a helicopter and a giant brain or something.
I used to have micromachines as a computer game and it was awesome and hard (characters were spider, joel, waldo etc.) I'm not sure if it's the same one. But I should definately get that for playstation if that's what it is... also the computer version let you build your own race tracks and even redraw everything any way you want.

The playstation version is in 3d, like polygons and stuff. It's also really, really playable. Definitely worth a checkout. You can also play four player with two controllers if you want (like the pads are used sideways one person on either end ...hard to explain). I have really fond memories of playing that game stoned with a bunch of mates and getting the crap kicked outta me coz I'd piss off my mate by moving the control pad all the time in 4 player mode. Ahhh fun.

yeah, you actually HAD to finish contra in hardest mode to get the
full ending... but if you finished the easier modes before i think
it wasnt toooo hard anymore, u get used to the fucking patterns
of the bosses, with the last one you need some luck tho, he does different things depending which of his er... "balls"
you shoot (if i remember it right ^_^)... and yeah, i he reappears one last time when you're hanging on the helicopter, from beneath... persistent asshole...

Awesome game, but yeah, insanely hard. I can't really put a dent in it (haven't played it in years though). Another hard Genesis game was Batman and Robin... fun game but only for one or two levels. That's as far as you're gonna get.
I think the 6th level in Ninja Gaiden is a bitch. There's an entire, full-sized FAQ dedicated to that one level on gamefaqs. Takes you through the level literally step by step and lays out a million possible strategies and reactions. Mackin'.

Battletoads has some great gameboy games too. I beat the gameboy one which was super hard (has a totally memorable cool level where a big rolling brain chases you.. grr)
Yeah, contra has a lot of pattern recognition, making the game more linear/movie like and less random/chaotic. The ps2 version is a suckier overall game (visually cool though) and also feels movie like (plays the same every time).
Actually the first ghouls and ghosts was an awesome game (I remember standing on that maggot shooting rock thing and shooting it's organic maggot pods from above while it made stomach gurgling sounds..). But super ghouls and ghosts for snes is the one that pissed me off. They took away the ability to shoot upward or downward and gave a double jump (forget if the original had that). The last battle with loki was cool in the first but I never beat the snes one.. having to do it all over again sucks especially since the "super" weapon sucks and you sometimes end up stuck at the end with fire, the shittiest weapon ever. That game is just cheap.
I beat ninja giaden (original nes) also. One fast boss killing tactic in that game is using the spin slash power. It kills them in like two hits. But I ended up using the diagonal upward shooting deal thingy on the last boss who sucks. I'm pretty sure it's made where you practically have to die on the first attempt on that level after you half defeat the boss because the second time around he will be on his second transformation and you'll have powerups or something like that.
I'll try batman and robin. I would have probably avoided a title like that if nobody recomended it.
Man, they don't make games like they used to. It's hilarious that they sell super old school atari game compilations for playstation 2... now you have to wait 3 minutes each time you want to play them while an overly powerful system loads. And I'm so sick of the (successful) selling tactic of crappily regurgitating nostalgic stuff in all forms of entertainment.

viewtiful joe for ps2 sucks.
It's not the fun old schoolish difficult challenge people say it is. It's a big stupid unfun challenge. Well beating it once was entertaining I guess, but I have little interest in replaying it on the harder "v" difficulty (and the word viewtiful is stupid and wasn't really explained as a substitute for beautiful). There's just a single move (punching in zoom and slow mo) that is superior to all others anyway and that's all you have to use practically to win. The bosses have shitty patterns making them quite easy after memorized.

OH FUCK MAN BATTLETOADS That game nearly cost me and my mate a nintendo controller each, we both must have been like 11... swearing twin blue streaks at his TV and his mum is like "Oh boys stop using that language it's horrible, anyway who wants scones?"
Haha childhood is a parody of itself.
But yeah battletoads was a fucking bitch of a game, never really got that far through it either, I think there was this race level which probably wasn't even that far into it which continually did my head in.
Marble Madness? I used to be pretty good at that game. Now I can't control my balls at all, sadly.
Crap at the game too.

Marble madness is a wonderful little simple game. It seems like the type of game that some individual person would be able to code all by himself.
I played Battletoads vs. doubledragon on (snes?) and it pretty much sucked. I guess it was just using popular characters to make money selling a new game. ha ha, all these games were like 50 bucks a piece when they were new!

Have you ever played Ninja Gaiden for Xbox or Devil May Cry for PS2? I feel like I'm playing old school when I play them on normal or hard. I'd say they carry on the tradition of skilltaxing 2D platformers like Contra and the old Ninja Gaiden. Most other 3D action games now are easy and walk you through everything holding your hand... they developers want you to see the graphics they worked so hard on so they don't want to test you. The new Zeldas are all insultingly easy... whereas I can't beat the first Zelda.

Does anybody remember a nes game that felt like a clone of the dungeon parts of zelda II that are sideview? I seem to remember something like that where you're a fairly normal looking person and jump around and collect keys with blocks etc. I wonder if it's that milo's secret mansion or whatever it's called that I heard of.
