You guys had a productive Sunday!! 10 games beaten since I last updated the thread. That's really great!
@shane - Top Man can be tricky to hit that final wily hit with for sure. You can use the snakes as a back up if you run out or just want to play it slower and safer too. Glad you were able to salvage your controller too, nicely done
@EngineerMike - Glad to see you put your name on the scoreboard!! Hopefully the first of many!
@singlebanana - runs a podcast, has another playthrough to keep up with, has family obligations and still slams out 3 NES games in one day. I think we could all learn a little something from this man
PS - Gremlins 2 is awesome!
@Ikariniku - that's too bad. I actually like Yo! Noid. It's not the best, but I always find it charming
@Disposed Hero - Shatterhand is awesome! Glad you enjoyed it. You should try Kick Master as well. Very much in the same vein and just as good.
I was hoping to add another completion to the list myself tonight and finish up Athena, but it bested me yet again tonight. Got stuck on the appropriately named World of Hell for like 3 hours tonight, before looking up that I basically needed an item drop from the previous levels boss in order to defeat that worlds boss that I had long since lost so I restarted. Was able to get past that part (which you have to do in one attempt or you lose that item again upon your death) then got stuck for another couple hours on the World of Labyrinth. Looks like there is only one more stage after that part of the game so my hope is tomorrow I can solve the labyrinth and never have to play Athena again. I havn't played every NES game yet, but I have a hunch that Athena may be a VERY strong contender for worst NES game. It's pretty garbage in a lot of ways.
EDIT: All completions and claims updated!
