i just beat Mega Man 8 in the backlog thread. yeah, a no death run would be insane. the snowboarding part of Wily's stage destroyed me!

That one part is the reason I haven’t attempted it yet.

Amazing, OP! Are these recorded somewhere? Rad!

Thanks.  Some were a grind for sure.  And no I never recorded them.  I good a playing these games not so good at figuring out how to record them efficiently. 

Looking for a clean at least in case copy of Sonic Adventure 2 Battle for Gamecube.  If there’s no manual that’s fine looking for my sister.

Looking for any Mega Man NES hacks and home brews I don’t have.

I’m a CIB collector so prefer CIB but loose is alright too.

What I have:

Mushroom Kingdom - CIB

Battle of Gamma (Time Walk) - CIB

Ultra (Time Walk) - CIB

Mega Man 10 promo - CIB

Minus Infinity -CIB

No Constancy - loose

no Mega Man 8?

I never attempted it, but it’s the only one I haven’t done besides 10 which I had at one time started grinding out.  As good as I am at Mega Man games, that skiing part in Frost Mans level kicks my ass all the time.  I could see that ending my runs a lot.

I was on Nintendoage for many years pretty active and joined here after that site was bought out and ruined.  Haven't logged on here in a while but I’m back for the time being at least.  May attempt to add to my CIB NES collection and always searching for Mega Man hacks and homebrews I don’t already have.  Might also continue my no death runs as well that I documented on NA then here.

SMB no warp would be pretty tough without making a slip up as MBD said. I think that would be a solid challenge without being out of reach. 

Yes thats not a bad idea.  Might give that a run.

Been a while since I have been on here.  But I no deathed Zelda and grinded out the second quest as well.

First quest was easy really.  I have played through that game so many times that it just really wasn't too much of a challenge.  Nothing really hung me up and I believe as I am writing this over a month later that I did it first try.

Second quest however was a grind.  I haven't beaten it nearly as many times as I have the first quest.  I forgot about a few spots that were tricky that got me locked in a room like a spot in level 4 going into a room with 3 dodongos and having like 2 bombs left.  So much farming for rupes to get items needed that when I did mess up I had to do a lot of that over again.  Once I got enough heart containers and the letter for the potions it wasn't so bad.

Not sure what I'll try next.  I love Zelda 2 but not sure I stand a chance at that nor do I really want to take the effort to do it.

@rockyyaknow What makes it more fun for you? Puts the challenge back in an easy game? Sense of accomplishment? It's definitely not for me, but I can respect all the hard work that goes into it

Haven't been on in a while but I'll still answer.  I think I like the grind of doing these runs.  Most take multiple tries before it happens.  But in a way the more I grind out a game the more precise I become with each segment too.  The sense of accomplishment to add a game to my list is part of it as well.

Very nice dude! Congratulations on your hard work. I did a no death run of Chip and Dale years ago, but it took so much fun out of gaming for me, Ive never done one since. Good job

Thanks a bunch.  I found it made it more fun for me.  At least for most games.  Made a few frustrating for sure.

bump added prices.

I know its not a hard one but to get back into the swing of thing just no deathed Super Mario Bros.  Very easy of course 00:08:33

Glad to see you're back!

Thanks.  I came over her soon after this forum was made, but didn't say much was just busy doing other things.

I noticed Mega Man 10 wasn't on the list, but I thought you may have just forgotten it. I haven't played 9 or 10 in years, but I thought 9 was quite a bit tougher than 10. 

I thought so at first but I really started getting good a 9 maybe just because of repetition.  I was going so good at it that I was beating like the first 4 levels without taking any damage never mind no deathing.

PC back up and running.

Do you have any specific games that you're looking to tackle this year?

I still want to do Mega Man 10 just haven't grinded it out enough.  Want to do Super C again.  I did it a few years back just didn't record the date and time which I like doing.  Even some simple games like Super Mario Bros which I have never tried to yet.

Went to use PC and just has this message 

PriceCharting is temporarily under maintenance.  We will be back up as soon as possible

hopefully just normal maintenance 

On Christmas I beat Gaiden 2 for the first time as well.  While level 7 was pretty frustrating I played it enough where I just memorized everything and it wasn't so bad then.  With only thr 5 continues 3 seems like it will be a lot harder.

OP, you the guy who played through and no-deathed all of the Mega Man games, and chronicled your progress on NintendoAge?

Congrats, regardless.  I need to play this game a bit more. It's my 8yo daughter's favorite NES game.  She can barely get past the first stage, but she loves it.

Yes that was me.  That's was a fun ride.
