Once I got Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for my birthday, I just so happened to do something (don't remember what) to get grounded from TV/Nintendo for a month. I read that manual so many times over the next month. Not sure I ever actually beat that game.

Don’t worry, no one beat that game.

(Obviously now sixteen people will come in and tell me they beat the game but I will take this chance to mention that the PC port was literally unbeatable without cheating or modifying the game due to a mapping bug.)

Never beat the og NES. Always died at the technodrone and them damn pink bugs.

I got so good at the swimming section i could do it without touching the seaweed once tho beat that

I mean major kudos for getting past the god dam level reliably. I think I beat it once on an emulator.

[–] eestileib@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 months ago

Yeah the difficulty of swimming was overrated. The technodrome was ridiculous.

If we're talking Turtles in Time? Hell no. Same goes for getting the proper ending in Streets of Rage 2 on hard mode. Still my favorite soundtrack of that era.

Oh no, I’m talking the NES game. It was a hateful thing.

[–] MeatsOfRage@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It was truly cursed. God forbid you had the DOS port which was actually unbeatable due to an impossible jump.

Yep I’d heard about that. Man those were some Wild West days.
