Good ruleset.

If we're playing TMNT2 I'd rather play through the entire game. But this game is even longer and goes on and on and on.

I like this game, but it's way too long.

I honestly think both of the NES TMNT beat em ups are way too long. I've no deathed both games and I think they still clock in at just over an hour. For contrast, I played Turtles in Time the other day and beat it in 21 minutes. I dont remember if I posted it in the unpopular game opinion thread or not, but I like that the SNES Final Fight cut out the industrial area level. Even with 5 areas, it still takes almost an hour to finish. Final Fight 2 went back to 6 stages and it's just way too tedious. Final Fight 3 added shortcuts in some of the stages which gives it the perfect balance since the player can decide if they want to take the shorter or the longer routes.

91,600 with one second place finish on race 8. Donezo. Cant believe I didnt finish it one time. Congrats, @PII - a well deserved victory. Tough to go 10 straight for sure with the orange car boost madness

I was hoping to get in on this one, but it was just a super busy week. I figured you were gonna have this one locked up!

I don’t play much video games anymore out side the contest. 

I haven't played much of anything the last few months. Too much real life stuff going on.

Welcome to the site!

P.O.W: Prisoners of War is done.

I'm at the end of Iron Sword. A game that I never made it past the first level when I was kid. I can't imagine any kid under the age of 10 ever beating this game. 

I beat it when I was 8. For what it's worth I didn't have many other games to play so I didn't have much choice other than to stick with it.

Both are great songs. 8/10.

1222

Metroid is done.

Worth noting is that we don't tend to waste our time voting on games that are actually bad.  It seems reasonable to me that we had scores of 5-10 for the games we have gone through.

If we had a bunch more Superman 64's, we could easily see some lower scores.  The question then is whether we care enough to do that?

There is probably someone that literally agonizes over rating a game a 3 or a 4.

My biggest struggle is having to choose between the two "never played it" options.

I’ll put $ on sf 

fuck you bad luck! We have you cornered. You gotta give it to one of us!

I just hope both teams have fun and that KC loses.

Unbeknownst to you I bet the lions. Works everytime. 

I might bet on KC in the Super Bowl since that basically guarantees they'll lose.

Never heard of it.

Tecmo World Wrestling is done.

Took a lot less practice than I thought...Volleyball is done.  At some point I realized I could relatively consistently get points off the serve when my team was on the left court.  It required near pixel perfect timing, but it was doable.  Just had to get good enough to get the ball back whenever I missed the timing.  I ended up winning in four sets, losing the second set but sweeping the third.  The fourth was pretty tight, as it required me to actually get points the "proper" way, but I was occasionally getting points on serves there too, which helped.  Most of my points in that set came from blocking their spikes, but that was also a bit of a crapshoot because it required almost perfect timing as well to execute.  All told, it's actually a pretty fun game overall, just kinda tough to get the hang of.

I'm glad you got that one finished so I didn't have to do it this year. It doesn't take that long to win a game, but the precision timing and difficult controls really take any potential fun out of it. Volleyball is probably my least favorite black box game. Stack Up and DK Jr. Math might be worse, but those barely even qualify as games. 

Target: Renegade is done.

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (Taito), Ivan "Ironman" Stewart's Super Off-Road and Rush N Attack are done.

I knocked out a few of my regular completions yesterday so Elevator Action, Excitebike, Pro Wrestling, Rad Racer and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Arcade Game are done.

I know @Bearcat-Doug usually completes DD2, so I dedicate this in his honor. 

Thanks for the assist. I've been taking some time off since the weekly contest season ended and I haven't really even checked this yet.

Lol, notoriously the worst N64 game, at least for NTSC.  For that reason alone I want to get a copy and give it a try.

I'm only slightly interested in playing it to see how bad it really is.
