I actually really dug that one when I played it.  What'd you think about it?

I feel the same. It took me a while, but I never really got bored or frustrated at all. My only complaint is that the target scores at the end are way too high. They don’t really give you enough targets to even come close, so you are stuck flying around and chasing planes whenever you happen upon them. I didn’t notice until the last mission that you get about 150,000 for returning to base, so I just kept looping around and landing until I got to the point threshold. All in all, very enjoyable, and I will probably knock out F117-A soon because it looks like basically the same game.

I thought captain skyhawk was done, but the last boss turned blue instead of blowing up. I am still alive amd can fly around, but shooting isnt doing anything. Weird.

It looks to me like the game crashed.  Talk about shitty timing.  I would probably count that myself, at least for the purpose of this list, but regardless, I know how much work that game takes, and as fun as it is, that's a shite way to end off.

I actually tried to get into F-117A right after, but for whatever reason it didn't hit the same.  They added a few things to the formula, so that could've had something to do with it.  But yeah, I thought it was weird because I really dug F-15, but F-117A was meh.  Can't figure that one out for the life of me 😛

I did it!!! I can't believe it, I beat Darkman.  Funny that to me the hardest parts of the game is the "Smiley" part, because of those damn ninjas and being punched into a pit and fighting Durant, which you have to just SPAAAAAM the shoot button and hope you get into a rhythm.  I also want to thank gamefaqs because someone put up the level maps of the level 5 elevator parts, which are easy if you memorized em but so incredibly unfair.  Also used a fair amount of pause buffering too.  I may have to play this a few times because I want to be able to beat it again at a later time and not have to re-learn everything.

Jurassic Park is beaten.

Buried under a ton of flaws is what could’ve been a pretty decent game.
 

Way too many cheap hits due to obstructed view, way too much backtracking, and last but not least the battles with the T-Rex are beyond frustrating. You gotta try to dodge him, get hits in, AND avoid him eating the kids (which is instant death), which they seem to wander randomly and sometimes stand there like a deer in headlights.

This was the last Ocean game in my collection to beat. Sigh of relief.

Well as an 'easier' one I finished Shatterhand.  One of the first games I bought when I started getting my NES stuff because my friends always talked about how great it was.  It wasn't too bad but I kept messing up the last part.  I remember always going into the final boss fully powered and just beating him in one shot, but I kept messing up, so this time I had to beat him, fist only with the green jacket.  Dunno how I did it but I did it.

Just finished adventure island, a new first time clear for me. It's a good game, but I sometimes wished they hadn't made some of the spider jumps so trolly. Very difficult, but nowhere near the hardest I've beaten thus far

Battletoads AND Adventure Island!  Wowie!

I think I'm gonna do Blaster Master next.  Or ill give it one shot today.  Its not that hard until the very end but its a LONG game.  Even knowing what to do it usually takes me close to 2 hrs.  This game would be loved so much more if it ONLY has a simple password feature.
