scaryice | 596 Posted January 20, 2020 Author Share Posted January 20, 2020 Bad News Baseball finished with Oakland as the champs. Easy for the most part to get the computer out; they didn't score many runs at all. Final game score (out of 11 total): Nice credits for NES game, btw. It is Tecmo, so that makes sense. Looks like Ryu Hayabasa, and one of the sumo wrestlers from Tsuppari Oozumou. I dunno who the girl is: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dracula | 126 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Just played through Day Dreamin Davey. Be glad you didn't spend 3 hours of your night slogging through this game! Was my first time playing it...and my last. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scaryice | 596 Posted January 20, 2020 Author Share Posted January 20, 2020 That's certainly one of the worst games I've played for these threads over the years, ,no disagreement here. And in other news, MLB & Burgertime are done: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nerdynebraskan | 356 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 @Mae247 First, a question: What are you?! An android? A god? But since you're some kind of gaming savant, here are some of the other titans of the NES catalog: 1943 (mainly for the final boss rush), Adventure Island, Cobra Triangle, Destination Earth Star, Dragon Power, High Speed Pinball, Ikari Warriors, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Krusty's Fun House, Kung Fu Heroes, Last Starfighter, Lemmings, Metal Mech, Mission: Impossible, Mutant Virus, Pirates!, Q*Bert, Rally Bike, Silkworm, Smash TV, Solomon's Key, Super Spy Hunter, Tetris 2, To the Earth (Zapper required), Track & Field II, Treasure Master, and Werewolf. You could also look for games that are either 10s or have 4+ pain points attached to them. Something worth 4 or 5 bonus points has failed to be completed almost every year of this challenge. Of course, many of those games are more of the long and tedious variety so it depends on how much time you want to commit to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the recommendations! A few of these I played before and quite a few I have not. Also, to explain myself, I really enjoy doing speed runs. Some games I put on a list to go back and enjoy later. Honestly, it is something I have recently taken up in the past few months. Just because I complete the game does not mean it was an easy completion haha. Some really kick my @$$. Edited January 20, 2020 by Mae247 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've beaten it once for the 2018 contest and it took about 35 hours, and I know that any future attempt would take me just as long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerdynebraskan | 356 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Experiences like Doyce's seem typical of those who are even crazy enough to make the attempt at Championship Pool, so yeah I stand by my hyperbole on Mae's performance. Also, Tecmo Bowl is done. I played with the Vikings, and I really regretted it. They were so weak I lost a couple of games along the way and had to continue. The Raiders even blew me out in the second to last game. I only beat them in the rematch by 1 point when I blocked a PAT on one of their touchdowns.

I play/beat world champ more often, but its the same format and you can train anytime in that. I remember grinding all the way the first time for world champ and realizing later I didnt need to do that. Thanks a ton for this! I'm still working on Ring King, and you're absolutely right -- I was able to train for a while, then take the Rookie title, then go back to training.

Mae247 | 207 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 1943 DONE! That was a very crisp game. The music could have been better but the controls were clean. Took 3 1/2 hours but was well worth it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strikezone1 | 155 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 (edited) Toxic Crusaders is done. What a terrible and disappointing game! Wonky hit detection. Plenty of cheap AI. Having to use the SELECT button as your power (main) attack really is quite laughable (and uncomfortable). Above all that, I think the worst thing about this game is the obscure and strict patterns you have to figure out and execute against all the bosses. It’s too bad Konami (or Capcom) didn’t get the license to make this game.. I never watched the Toxic Crusaders cartoon or read the comics back in the day, but the toy line was pretty cool and I had some of the figures. They fit right in with the TMNT.

Would love any advice while it's fresh in your mind. The music sucks honestly compared to many other pool games on the nes. Just had to say that lol. the prediction system can be jumpy at times so you have to be kinda patient. Be very VERY prepared to feel like this game is sometimes dumb luck. Some shots just don’t freaking work your way even if the prediction systems tells you other wise. Sometimes the cpu can ramp up in intensity for no reason and catch you off guard. BE PREPARED TO HATE THE WORD FOUL FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!!! Lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both get kind of tedious to complete in 2020, but I play through 3 or 4 levels of real american hero a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
