Be ready my friend!

The train has made its first stop as of today! Seems to h e made it safely and did not derail.

Completed adventure island

Weather I was catching a ride on a skate board Or tail whipping snails I loved this side scroller. Music wasn’t half bad as well.

noticed the laparas looking Pokémon thing was funny to see as well.

reminds me of Mario.

Done with rally bike

kinda like frogger, road rash, pole position had a kid and rally bike was born.

the top down approach was helpful but things do sneak up on you and can go south quickly.

took me 8 hours to complete.

Any tips for Championship Pool? That one gave me a lot of trouble last year. Would love any advice while it's fresh in your mind. 

The music sucks honestly compared to many other pool games on the nes. Just had to say that lol.

the prediction system can be jumpy at times so you have to be kinda patient.

Be very VERY prepared to feel like this game is sometimes dumb luck. Some shots just don’t freaking work your way even if the prediction systems tells you other wise. 
 

Sometimes the cpu can ramp up in intensity for no reason and catch you off guard.

BE PREPARED TO HATE THE WORD FOUL FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!!!  Lol

1943 DONE!

That was a very crisp game. The music could have been better but the controls were clean.
Took 3 1/2 hours but was well worth it!

Completing Championship pool that quickly without using save states is pretty impressive. I've beaten it once for the 2018 contest and it took about 35 hours, and I know that any future attempt would take me just as long.

Took me 16

First, a question: What are you?! An android? A god?

But since you're some kind of gaming savant, here are some of the other titans of the NES catalog:

1943 (mainly for the final boss rush), Adventure Island, Cobra Triangle, Destination Earth Star, Dragon Power, High Speed Pinball, Ikari Warriors, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Krusty's Fun House, Kung Fu Heroes, Last Starfighter, Lemmings, Metal Mech, Mission: Impossible, Mutant Virus, Pirates!, Q*Bert, Rally Bike, Silkworm, Smash TV, Solomon's Key, Super Spy Hunter, Tetris 2, To the Earth (Zapper required), Track & Field II, Treasure Master, and Werewolf.

You could also look for games that are either 10s or have 4+ pain points attached to them. Something worth 4 or 5 bonus points has failed to be completed almost every year of this challenge. Of course, many of those games are more of the long and tedious variety so it depends on how much time you want to commit to them.

Your funny haha. I enjoy playing random and obscure games honestly.

Thank you for the recommendations! A few of these I played before and quite a few I have not.

Also, to explain myself, I really enjoy doing speed runs. Some games I put on a list to go back and enjoy later. Honestly, it is something I have recently taken up in the past few months. Just because I complete the game does not mean it was an easy completion haha. Some really kick my @$$.

Completed while on lunch

Animaniacs (enjoyed pinky and the brain boss at the end, was fun)

alfred chicken (In my opinion he looked more like a crow on the game boy but its still a fun game and screw the snails lol)

@Gutling

The box is available at the post office for pick up. I know they are closed today so make sure you get it tomorrow.

Championship pool complete!

any other requests?

I used to play Lunar Pool a lot on an old bootleg 180 in 1 cart. 

Did you throw it through a wall after having enough of its bull $h1t.

Ok, now do Championship Pool

On it lol

POKÉMON BLUE DONE!!!

only grew up with red and yellow. Was a nice change in color lol.

Figured I would take a break from the game boy thread and saw someone say no one wants to play lunar pool. Figured I would be a no one for a bit lol.

Complete
Lunar pool is totally up to chance for the most part. It does kinda suck. The background music isn’t half bad though.

Meant to put 6/10

they had so many songs that other genres copied. Never knew it was some of their songs till later in life.

I'm glad you were willing to come back in spite of my prior remarks. I will join the onlookers in watching your crusade continue (while still doing a bit myself).

On that note, I've started playing Vegas Stakes, that game will just take a lot of time, so I don't know when it will be done, but know that I'm still working on it. It's just that you are stuck at first. The first casino is only open to bets of a maximum of 300 per bet on Poker, 500 a game on blackjack, with little exception for increasing that. You can go to a bigger casino with no betting limit, but only after you make 100k. So, until I get there, it will just be a long slog to get that money.

I am taking on Pokémon blue now. It will be a bit. Only at the second gym.

Never said it was easy at all. Some of the games are pure luck honestly.

Hoo boy, give me a minute to record all of these, I'm falling behind. I'll try to sound happy about you slamming out a few specific games that took me several months to finally knock over lol.

Pfft! Lol

Bump

Complete

Frogger (as aggravating as I remember)

Godzilla (reminds me more of chutes and ladders, not want I expected)

Hit the ice (game play not bad for its time. The refs looked like sticks haha)

Home alone (the electronics part for me seemed to be the hardest)

Home alone 2: lost in new york( 100% easier than the first)

Hudson hawk (this dude is a player with his dark shades and flat top hair cut lol)

Jurassic park( really enjoyed the background music on this one)

Jurassic park part 2: the chaos continues( the music here wasn’t half bad either)

Kid Dracula (this dude reminds me of super sayan kid goku)

Changed my mind. Not stopping. Working on a few games. Will post what else I’ve completed ASAP.

I wouldn't worry about stepping on toes, it's all for fun. People aren't allowed to claim games, and even if they were I don't see Koi making any mention at all of having started playing Red. 

If he's ticked I'm sure it's just at the universe, not like, actually pissed off at you for "taking" a game he was playing. 

I'd encourage you to continue playing and contributing, it's good to see.

Well, I still don’t want to cause any ill will on here. I just enjoy doing my thing and helping out. Never had the chance to on NA when I was there from 2008 till it’s demise. Just trying to help the thread was all.

Also, I have no need to lie honestly. Doesn’t help me at all. I’ve decided to just chill from this thread since it seems I’m stepping on others toes. Not what I’m intending on doing. I’m glad to have contributed what I could on the past few days I have had off. Enjoy my friends. Anyone needs help just let me know.
