Anyone else finally beat "that game" thats been festering in the back of their head since they were a kid? A game you just didn't have the resources to beat when you were a kid? Back then I was short on money and long on time. Now... I'm short on both.

Good timing. I just beat Zelda on the NES for the first time about 2 weeks ago. I just never had the patience when I was younger to beat it. Now I'm struggling to decide whether or not it is worth it to finish the second quest.

I tried that on the emulator, but I lost patience in Ganon's cave. I have beat part 2 though! And I did beat links awakening for the gameboy all on my own. ;D That one was my favorite. Amazing gameplay, graphics, and story for an original gameboy game.

Heh, it was requisite for everyone at my middle school to beat all of the Zelda games. You just weren't cool if you hadn't. Those blue knights on level 5 or 6 of Zelda 1 took like a month to beat... I HATED those things. By far the hardest part of the game.

Perhaps you have forgotten the dreaded wizzrobes...

Gauntlet had an ending, didn't it? I know the NES version did.

If Guantlet has an ending, I have no patients to get there. It goes on FOREVER! Frankly, I think it gets really boring after a while. All you do is hit one button, or hold it down, and walk through the boards. It was a great concept and game in its time. It just doesn't hold my interest today.

Well, there's no doctor char for one thing. The closest I think is the wizard. :)
I know the NES version has 100 levels. I used to always get to about 97 and couldn't get past all the Deaths.
