ChadTower:

I would like a cookie, yes.  That would be good.

Glaine:
Well then you guys are just good. I still can't beat Contra without the Konami Code. And when I was a kid I had to use Game Genie on anything to beat it. I was probably 7 or younger. I see that pattern though, the little kids I see usually want cheats too cuz they don't understand how playing for real is rewarding yet. My nephew kills himself as soon as he runs out of bombs and just keeps bombing, dying, and coining on all my mame shooters.

And yeah, I remember trying to leave the NES on all the time so I wouldn't lose my spot. But when we got home that night Tail Spin was froze up.

I also for some reason couldn't figure out how to save games right so I was always wipping out my borther's zelda saves. Mom got really good at zelda and would earn their spots back in the game after I kept reset em.

Don't know about bad game lag and controls, I like my panel just fine for punch out and with some of the good emulators out now you can smooth the pixels out if you want and punch out will look as smooth as a shockwave flash game.

O yeah, and here - *cookie*. Don't let em knock you down! Mash the pad and buttons to get up!

Bah.  I used to be able to go all the way from Glass Joe to beating Tyson without getting knocked down once.  Probably could again with a bit of practice, haven't played that game in years.

This was me too.  I owned Mike Tyson's Punchout (I mean that figuratively and literally, I suppose).  I TKO'd Super Macho Man  the first time I'd ever played, or even seen him -- mighta been in the first round, but I don't remember that.  I could TKO Tyson in round 2.

Weird thing, though, I've played it some on the emulator on my Xbox recently and I can't figure out Sandman for the life of me.  I don't know if the timing is off on the emulator or if Sandman is seriously NOT like riding a bike.  I breezed past everybody, remembering most the tricks and patterns, 'till I hit him and I couldn't beat him.  I can still beat Tyson, but I did forget how to counter his little blink-jab thing he does, especially when he does it like fifteen times in a row at the beginning of Round 2.  Actually, now that I say that I think it suddenly hit me that you're supposed to block once, dodge once, block once, dodge once, etc.  I'll have to try that.

ChadTower:

You can't emulate MT Punchout.  It just doesn't work, the timing has to be so dead on perfect, the controller perfectly responsive, or you can't beat the game.  I tried this game on the DC emu last year, couldn't get close to beating it.  Tried on a PC emu, got further but the timing was still off.  This is why I don't like emulators for the really hard games.
