Looks like Super Ghouls n Ghosts

9 and 7 respectively. There are other Blondie songs I'd rather listen to because this is probably their most overplayed hit that gets Blondie unjustly tagged as a disco band but it's still one of their best. Rating Genius of Love as a song and not factoring in historical importance, it's good, but gets a bit annoying.

Hey, is DE worth trying? It looks intriguing to me, but I've seen a lot of negative opinions on it.

I this the fastest progress ever? Under 100 games left in February.

Into the Groove - 9 Just Dance - 6

i have mine on my tv as well... theyre so cool, i love em

i fractured my left elbow slipping on dog pee so hopefully it will heal in time to play, if not i cant play for a few months edit: actually i can still move my thumb just fine so maybe its okay

Isolated Warrior has end credits if you beat the slightly harder second loop. Another game that could have a stricter completion requirement.

Ed Norton is so charismatic and persuasive as a neo-Nazi that I wonder how much of a negative influence the first part of the movie is. Those concerns aside, it's a 7 or 8. Needs a rewatch.

Listening to Regulate now, it has aged like fine wine.

I voted 7 for Tha Crossroads and a 10 for Regulate. Regulate is so much funkier and more fun.

No cheat codes unless they're in the manual is part of the rules. The rules could be changed next year or at some point, but those are the current rules. I would recommend using warps if you're trying to 1cc Kung Fu Heroes. No sense completing every stage unless you're really into that game. Most of the difficulty is at the end anyway. EDIT: I remember one year that The Mexican Runner's completion of Kung Fu Heroes was disqualified because he used continues. TMR still considered it legit for Nesmania because he figured out how to continue for himself and nobody told him nor did he look it up. TMR beat other games such as Ikari Warriors without using any cheats.

A few years ago I made a real attempt to beat Kung Fu Heroes without continues and gave up after two weeks. The difficulty near the end is brutal.

When I beat Karnov last year I figured out that you can really exploit the fact that you retain your items after game over. Makes it very easy to farm.

I can barely make out some words/phrases. It looks like it's about the possibility of epileptic seizures in a very small percentage of the population. EDIT: Wizard beat me to it!

Agree. 1943 is another one that deserves to be played to completion or as far as you can go. I'm glad we had normal rules for it last year.

Jackal is done.

Dust and grime can cause unresponsiveness but I don't think they increase stiffness which has to do with the materials themselves and might loosen up with use.

Bump n Jump is done. Start of second loop.

Batman has a great soundtrack as is expected from Sunsoft. See also Blaster Master and Journey to Silius. I love the use of colors. It has a dark and gritty atmosphere that is not so common for a NES game. It just feels good to play, especially the wall jump mechanic once you get the knack for it. One of the earliest games I can think of that uses wall jumping. Infinite continues and being able to farm health and ammo makes it very beatable. But once you get good then you won't need to abuse these aspects. The only real negatives I can think of are that scoring is a joke and so are all those B's you pick up. The game might as well not even have a score. And there's a bit of a delay when you jump which takes some getting used to. Other than those nitpicks it's an easy 10.

Get good at farming the enemies that drop from the ceiling. That will definitely help you in beating it.

If diagonals are tough to hit due to stiffness then that stiffness can decrease over time with use. This is my experience with NES dpads.

10. It's in my top 10 NES games. I've beaten it deathless.

Probably my second favorite MJ song after Billie Jean. An easy 10/10.
