I'm currently working on Bandit Kings.  If you want to go for it feel free, but figure you might want to narrow the choices down a bit.

Nah, I saw you mentioned that a while ago, so keep jammin on it. I may do one of the MMC1 games, since they are pretty clunky and take a long time.

Yeah, the only one of those that I would find fun to replay would be Genghis Khan.  I could see myself doing Romance 1 again because I like the setting, but I'm never gonna touch an NES Nobunaga game again.  They're both pretty blah IMO.

I'll do Nobunaga's Ambition 1 then!

Advanced Dungeons & Dragons: Hillsfar is done.

I'm surprised this one has 4 pain points, since it's wayyy easier than the 2 remaining AD&D games. I'll take it, though!

I actually liked it enough to do all four endings, but not enough to want to play it again after accomplishing that lol.  It's not a good game, but it's also not terribly difficult.

Working my way thru Toxic Crusaders.  Up to level 3.  Trying to get a feel for the game again and its weird mechanics.  Game boy game is def better.

Toxic Crusaders is soooo flawed, and yet so close to being a damn fine game. Questionable controls (select button?!), hit boxes, and the weapon downgrades with every hit taken sink what would otherwise be a solid B-B+ 8-bit beat 'em up.

I'm thinking it's time for my annual run at Cowboy Kid, if I can find my personal maps of the last stage.

Yeah very much so!  The 2nd boss is really tough to fight without taking damage.  I just finished up a guitar lesson and gonna go back to work on it soon. Thank god this one has a password feature.  Cowboy Kid was also on my list but it's been so long since I played it and I remember it took quite a while, so go for it.

Nice to see us hit 400 today. Bump 'n Jump is a nice one to have out of the way, thanks to mbd. I think I'm going to try to beat Rambo, which is one of the few games on the NES that I haven't beat that I'm interested in. So far, everything I've beaten, I've done before in previous years. Bucky O'Hare is another one I'd like to get to someday.

I finished updating the all time leaderboards through last year:

INFILTRATOR is done.

Landing the plane in Top gun is Child's Play.  Landing this ƒµçk¡n9 Chopper is something else.  For a while I felt like I'd somehow unlearned how to do it.  It's like, once you know exactly what to do/not do, you still end up falling out of the sky because you can't take too much time but you also have to make the final motions with care just the same...  Anyway, all 3 Missions are Complete and somehow, I still like this game..

Surprisingly finished off Toxic Crusaders.  I forgot that you don't get a password for the last level (as I died at the first boss).  I watched a speed run and learned yeah, no password.  But for the final boss fight, I saw the guy just stood slightly under the boss and rapidly punched.  So I thought I'd give it a shot.  The last level isn't so hard but its just getting thru all those stages with 3 lives.  I got to the bosses, beat em in one try.  That rapid punch strat worked!

I think you'll find both of those doable at your skill level.

There are good maps for Rambo online. Give yourself 2-4 hours, and I bet you can beat it in one sitting. Remember that the enemies that drop items do so roughly 100% of the time. That makes farming for health and high-end ammo very manageable. Kill the gorilla, take his medicine, leave the screen, come straight back, and he's respawned. Rinse and repeat for 3-4 minutes and you have a full supply. 

Bucky O'Hare is a lot of fun. It's brutal, but it has infinite continues (including at mid-level checkpoints) and a good password system. Be patient, and you can brute-force your way through it. 

Also, thanks for the stats. I've got more than 7000 lifetime points now. Neat.
