Less than 3 months in and 630 games already done? lol People really love NES.

What people think makes TG16 hard - tons of hard shmups What actually makes TG16 hard - pinball.

Aero blasters is that game that would kick my ass and I wouldnt even mind. I would just say "Okay game, you win. Thank you."

Haven't played it in ages but from what I remember it was just about learning the levels like most shmups.

For whatever reason Dragon Spirits was often a go-to game for me and my friends when we were drunk at 3am as teenagers. Good times, its a really fun game.

Are you a streamer of any kind? Typically only streamers can just grind on and on for months like this.

If I remember right the last stage has a bit of annoying slowdown but you should be fine. Have you finished Sinistron yet? Its not as bad as Sinistron imo.

Bonk 3 being on the list is funny. Its like if SMB 3 was one of the last 100 games to be beaten in an NES challenge. Not sure what Battle Royale is but of the other 10 games 8 are fairly awesome.

Falcon is the flight sim nobody likes right? If you have the patients for it you should be able to handle Gunboat, the other military sim nobody likes lol

I think I remember playing Super Volleyball, finding it super hard to control and getting crushed by the computers, then later being impressed when Chris from Turboviews beat it. Though I might be mixing it up with a different volleyball game.

Oops, this is why I shouldnt be posting at 3am

So 8 games left and a lot of them are really good.

In my experience the boring games that are moderately skill demanding are always harder to get through than a fun game that demands a lot of skill. I'll always be more impressed with the guy who beat PGA than the guy who beats Contra or whatever.

Don't count the chickens before they hatch, PGA Golf is a deadly adversary.

I did it in May 2020 so before the challenge started. The Japanese guy played on some obscure Japanese video website, all his videos had like 5 views. I made a video but only of the final level:

I imagine Ikari Warriors was not fun lol

The hardest levels in the game are from around where you are until level 89. So basically it seems the devs put a solid effort into levels 1-30ish, then started to run out of time so then worked on levels 90-100, and for all the levels in between you can tell they didnt have time to make sure there was a reasonable increase in difficulty and probably just made them all as fast as possible and just had guys working in shifts to eventually complete the levels to prove they were actually possible to complete. As far as I can tell I'm one of two people on the internet who have beaten this game and the Japanese guy who also did it changed the settings to make the ball move slower.

Both it and its sequel are classic. The music is stuck in my head still all these years later. Still waiting on Neutopia 3, it'll happen one day!

The best part of the game is the end of the 2nd loop, because its a funny pun lol Deep Blue is not so bad when you realize its not a shoot em up, its an avoid em up. The art is to just survive.

Wow I totally forgot about this game. Huge win, this one is tough as nails.

Not sure what the win conditions are for Donpachi, but if struggling through it with 19 credits counts as a win Ill take it lol Edit: Improved that to 16 credits.

You will have to go old school and leave the system on overnight, hope for no power outages, and hope no people or animals bump into it.

You could just play for two hours a day then pause it until the next day, and emulators are allowed you could even make emergency savestates to use if the program ever crashed.

About Alien Crush, the playthroughs on youtube are 45-55 mins long, so there must be some kind of multiplier trick.

Good luck on JJ & Jeff. I remember having a few good rage quits on that one back in the day but did clear it eventually.
