NES Completions thread 2023 - 600/677 (bonus games - 75/100)

Bubble Bobble completed, this is not my first time beating the final boss, but my first time getting the good ending. I have a lot of nostalgia for this one so it has a special place in my heart, but the controls are quite frustrating at times. Phone is currently busy, I'll post my SS later tonight probably.

Finished off Predator after a few days. 

 

The first couple of attempts were really annoying, because I forgot how slippery the controls are.  You day way more often from annoying sine wave flying enemies (medusa heads) and getting bumped off a platform with lots of momentum.  But I acclimated to it, and also had found a longer, but easier path.  Then I was really surprised I beat the predator at the end on my first try! 

 

EDIT: Also I gotta check online, after you beat him, theres a couple of beeps.  I wonder if that supposed to be the suicide timer the predator has, so if you defeat him and dont go out the door, you lose.  That would be really funny but also REALLY crummy.

I'm still working on Faria. I got over the rough start and am at a good spot right now. I'm on level 14 and doing pretty well in fights. Meanwhile I got to the town of Tegza. So I guess I'm somewhat at the half-way point of the game. It's been quite fun so far, even if the game does nothing spectacularly well. But so far it's been a really solid playthrough. I hope that I can finish it until the end of the week.

Finished Batman: Return of the Joker.  If the controls in this game were much smoother, and you weren't so bulky, this game would be really easy.  Its always amusing to me when a developer makes a game, that actually doesn't have a lot of enemies and hazards, but because the physics are really awkward, thats where the challenge lies.  Infinite continues def helped here.

I agree with your assessment and regret to inform you I beat it Wednesday. Not a great game, most of the bosses were also just spam fests, hoping to kill it before it kills you. 

I'm working on lolo 3 right now, about halfway through. Should have it done this weekend, though the second half can get a lot harder so who knows how long it will take me. If I'm remembering the last level correctly it's a nightmare

I just noticed we hit the 500 game milestone last night! It only took 17 days for the last 50 games, which is great. This is usually around the point where it starts to slow down a bit, so hopefully we can keep going strong this year. Maybe the closer race for 1st place will help?

ha!  I missed that.  I just put a text file of all the games I would be willing to play and haven't checked.  Ive beaten it in the past so its nothing crazy.  The most annoying stage is the 2nd to last one (6), where if you lose your weapon, you cant get it back, and your forced to fight Joker with your crummy default weapon while he has a ton of health.  I'm convinced Sunsoft with this game and Festers Quest we're trying to force you to buy a turbo controller.

I got to the final four phases of Wrecking Crew last night, so it should be done today. I'm kind of in the mood for a good action-rpg. Has anyone started Willow or Magic of Scheherazade? Or is anyone burning to do either of them for a first-time clear? I'd like to start one of these maybe early next week, so speak up.

I haven't played either of those games. But I would probably rather give Battle of Olympus a try after I'm done with Faria. I've just gotten to the sky world, so it shouldn't take too long.

Bible Adventures is done.

Has anyone started the Tecmo Super Bowl challenge? I'm thinking it'd be a nice one for me to pick up and try to play a game here or there when I have only a spare half-hour or so to work with.

I've also started another year of NES Play Action Football, since no one else seems especially eager to spend 7 hours of their lives on it.
