It's right up there with Battletoads as far as games that I would be fine with if I never played them again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearcat-Doug | 5,105 Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 (edited) Didn't you no death Ninja Gaiden 3 once? I don't know how anyone could do that. I don't think I've even played it again after I finally beat it. I like a challenge, but some of these games are just insanely difficult.

Codes are only allowed if they're in the manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only bertsampson beat the game when we did the one life contest for the tournament finals. I did reach the final bosses on one life and then choked.

I no deathed the first two. I only no deathed NG2 once. I think that game is harder to beat without dying than the first, but not as hard as NG3.

Kid Dracula | 126 Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Finally! Finished off Star Force!! After 26 gruelling stages the game can’t be bothered with an ending screen. I luckily snapped this photo of the last level thinking I had already won. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's how we're doing compared to previous years: It's really impressive that every game was beaten by June 12 in 2015. It will be interesting to see if this year comes close.

Also, I can't help but notice how similar that ending screen is to Spelunker's (although it's pretty generic). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerdynebraskan | 356 Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Arkista's Ring is done. @Bearcat-Doug 2015 was wild. We had a furious competition between Bea Iank and DoctorNick for the championship. I beat more than 100 games and scored well over 400 points and still finished a distant third. But with those two fighting to the very last game (Nick in fact snatched the title by beating Mutant Virus last), we burned through the catalog really fast that year.

NESfiend | 1,515 Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 NES Open is done. Love that game, but it will be a long time before I play it again. It's a long grind second half. Hit a hole and one and got 85k bonus to kick it over a million. Fun way to end it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NG3 is the most difficult to beat in the series, but to me it felt like the easiest to no-death (by a slim margin). That’s excluding abusing the spin-slash in NG1.

That is quite the feat! It is easily the hardest shmup to beat on the NES, IMO... Maybe one of these days I’ll put in the time to try and grind out a victory in it (but I’m in no hurry for that ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerdynebraskan | 356 Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 I just started Kickle Cubicle. I should have it finished in a little bit. I just wanted to post here before I forgot that I just had a very strange experience with this game. I primarily game anymore on an Everdrive N8 (Famicom edition) plugged into my AV Famicom. I had a Bandai Hypershot light gun plugged into the expansion port. This light gun, if you're unaware, has a speaker built into it designed to pipe in the audio of your game into the light gun as you're playing with it. As far as I knew, this functionality was only present in Space Shadow, the Famicom light gun game that was packed in with the Hypershot light gun. But when I just started Kickle Cubicle (US version, mind you) just now, the audio came through my Hypershot and startled the crap out of me. I just thought I'd share, because a couple of y'all may find that interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
