Just beat Adventure Island for NES. This is a glorious day.
It's taken me about 15 years to beat this game. Here is a
screenshot of the amazing ending you get to see.

I didn't even know I was trying to rescue someone named
Tina?

What are your most elysian NES moments?

stands strong and nice on my TV-furniture.

The 4th part of level 8-3 is the hardest part of any video

Gaming was soooo much tougher back then. There's lots of
games that I loved that I still haven't beaten, decades
later. I recently beat Shadow of the Ninja for the first
time, and that made me feel unstoppable. In fact, I beat a
lot of ninja games after Ninja Gaiden for Xbox got me in the
mood. I still can't beat Revenge of Shinobi, though.
Diabolical.

"Milon's Secret Castle" I am having troubles with it!
Ofthen, when I do get hit I get like stuck and get hit over
and over the same time. that's what gives me the GAME OVER.
But I kinda like the game, it's funny I think.

That's a real shitty thing about Milon's Secret Castle,
there is no "immunity period" after getting hit by an enemy,
so there is the potential to get hit over and over again
until you die.

There is a secret that the shop owner tells you. Once you
beat the Level 1 Boss (the brown jumping turd-man), you can
continue if you get game over by holding Left and pressing
Start. If it weren't for this, this game would be impossible
(and is still very, very hard)... HORRIBLE ending. :)

what shopkeeper tells you that secret?
I didn't know! (thanks).
Yeah the game is hard, I had to get the guide before I
understood how to find objects and hidden stuff (I only had
the rom, not the original game (which btw, I think was never
released in Sweden).

I remember last summer you helped me with Goonies 2 when I
had forgotten where the hammer was...
I admire you. NES = NicES.

After about 15 years of trying, finally beating Marble
Madness on the NES. Within a few weeks I had managed to do
it with 22 seconds left on the clock!

I've got a NES emulator with all my favourite games on it on
my GBA, as well as my real NES permanently set up at my
parents' house. Super Mario Bros 2 (Japanese Version) is
probably my favourite game for it currently.

if you run pogoshell you can load the .nes files directly on

(assuming that's what you're using)

CONTAINS SMB2 SPOILERS:

Super Mario Bros 2 is so crazy!
It's so surreal. but I really enjoyed playing it as a kid. I
lended a friend my SMB2 last year... haven't gotten it back
yet.
I guess it's time to get it back!
but my NES is kinda broken, so it would more be because I
want my beautiful box back.
Anyway, yeah it's a good game. bUt very surreal (and it all
takes place in Mario's dream, doesn't it?)

Sadly, I can't get (or make) a .nes file of Super Mario 2
(Japanese Version), it's only as .fds (famicom disk file),
which isn't (so far as I know) compatible with Pogoshell. I
still haven't had a chance to look into it in detail though,
but I'll have a nice lull in my work in a couple of weeks
time, so I'll check it then.

Key: Yes, I completed that one. I remember getting it one
Christmas... I foolishly traded it for "keeps" for Super Off
Road with a mate a few years later once I had completed SMB2
several times. However, the game I refered to in my other
post is completely different- it looks more like SMB 1 and
is incredibly hard. It only go a release outside japan as
"The Lost Levels" on Super Mario Allstars on the Snes and as
a hidden game on Super Mario DX on the GB.

aaahhh the real smb2.

I have a .NES file of that somewhere.

The Super Mario Brothers 2 game that had all the psychedelic
enemys and stuff was originally a game released in Japan
called Doki Doki Panic, which was apparently, hugely popular
so they replaces the characters with mario luigi, toad and
princess.. hence the largest departure from any of the other
mario games (all different music, etc)

i don't consider these games "Shit" by any means. in my
opinion, they are classics, and i still love them. you don't
see anyone calling classic films shit, because they are
still enjoyable to certain audiences. and besides, many
games for the NES back in the day were made for gamers to
become good at them, rather than target specific groups with
particular content or fancy graphics. i guess longtime
gamers can appreciate older games much easier though. :)

anyways, i have MANY fond memories of my NES - Zelda's end
was always enjoyable to me, the music for Fester's Quest,
the Sky Castle on Rygar and that amazing sinister music,
Super Mario 3 fucking with head at the end making me think
the princess was in another castle (i was seriously about to
go into a rage when i first saw that), the joy of finding
those tricks to beat all the opponents on Mike Tyson's
Punch-Out - i can't possibly name them all.

But the first game i beat (on my own) was Bionic Commando.
The first game i beat overall was Contra, with a friend.
Nothing like fighting INSIDE a final boss, shooting its
heart to death.

Ohhh I'm a longtime gamer, have no fear of that.......but
I'm also someone that doesn't cling to the past. Yeah sure
those games were great in there day, but they are very
dated.......what is available now, is by far much more
superior, and thats what I enjoy, good gameplay and great
graphics.

I still enjoy playing classics like Pacman, but as addictive
as it might be, the graphics stink in comparison. And thats
what I'm talking about - the comparison.

I don't understand how you're reasoning.
The experience is subjective.
And there are a lot of older games that I'd MUCH rather play
(because I enjoy playing them more) than newer games.
I also do enjoy low-fi music and pixel-gfx a lot, and don't
care much about games gfx (I only did that as a kid)...
All I care about is how much I enjoy playing the games, and
that's all that should matter. And that is timeless I tell
you. If you require "good graphics" to enjoy a game, so be
it, but that's not the case with me.
