Rygar is such a great accomplishment to finish. I never got past stage 8 in the arcades as a kid (stupid age restriction never gave me the needed quality time with it as well) Didn't beat it until 15 years later when I'd finished my MAME cabinet. Now I can beat it pretty much every credit, playing the PCB unless I die on stages 12-13 because 13 is damn hard without the powerups. I recommend the Japanese version as it has a 1UP hidden on stage fourteen. Also, learn to jump away when the enemies start to pile up. My most recent accomplishment is getting the Ketsui clear. |

The only game i completed in the arcade was Power Drift, was pretty awesome feeling though. There was a group of shady looking older lads all gathered around watching me. I thought i was going to be mugged after the game but they just congratulated me on beating it. I didn't come 1st in ever race though so i didn't get to race as afterburner, actually i have never seen that stage, i should try for it in mame. |

The only one I ever beat in an actual arcade was Street Fighter II CE. When they changed it to where Guile could throw sonic booms in the air. Man, I just filled up the screen with those things and never got touched. Cheap, I know. |

I can still remember the literal cold sweats I had from trying to beat the NES Ninja Gaiden. I wanted to beat it so badly. Never did. TMNT (nes) was also impossible for me but the game was so ---smurfy--- I wasn't too tore up about it. How about the 8 hours spent beating IKARI warriors to have the least fulfilling ending ever? Between that and 1942, I'm surprised I kept playing games. |

Once you got past a certain level the boards repeated the same mazes with different colors and textures. I've seen people say they heard there was an ending but these same people said that about Spy Hunter. "Dude, the driver gets out of the car at the end. I swear!" --- End quote --- HMH HMH HMH HMH. That's like before there was cable in our neighborhood, and the local guff was there were naked girls on Benny Hill! If you just stayed up late enough!! Gauntless doesn't use the same mazes, but the same mazes flipped over. Something like that. --- Quote from: lostboy4480 on June 26, 2012, 11:40:28 pm ---I also have now finally played every round of Bubble Bobble (Best game ever made) but wouldn't even begin to try that with a single credit. --- End quote --- There's something about Bubble Bobble for me that just seems fake and then boring using continues. --- Quote from: jimfath on June 29, 2012, 02:43:42 am --- Between that and 1942, I'm surprised I kept playing games. --- End quote --- 1942 is all about the journey. I've finished Pole Position on tournament settings. Not that hard, though hard enough. |
