Even better, bypass the entire game.

Actually, I dunno, I've never played. But it looks horrible.

It's not quite as bad as people say -- and certainly isn't the worst licensed game on the NES (as one site claims) -- but it's still pretty bad. Buggy as hell, and very frustrating.

I actually have zero problem with the whole secret code thing, and don't understand why people complain about it so much: I figured it out as a kid, with no outside hints.

But the forced AI companion thing is just stupid, and on my playthrough last year I encountered a horrible bottleneck late in Magneto's stage -- one I don't remember from previous playthroughs -- that's almost impossible for your character to survive.

That said the stage design is almost clever at points, the music is slightly above average, and it's possible to run through the game very quickly if you know what you're doing.

Yeah it's possible to find the good in "bad" games.

For example, I like Bad Street Brawler a lot, despite the frustrating aspects.

I think highscore games that go on and on should count as beaten when the highscore has reached the max and stops ticking and only a select few will do that on Tetris.

Thank you for the mention! I'm going to go back and improve some of the completions that I'm not happy with though (like overused cheese strats or the games where I abused heavy glitching).

Congrats man. Amazing accomplishment.
