    Default Help Elmdor amaze you with his wicked retro gaming skills!

    Dear dumbasses, to whom it may concern:

    I have very recently rediscovered the wonders of retro gaming, especially the NES. In the last month I have beaten:

    Ninja Gaiden I-III
    Castlevania I, III and IV.

    My current gaming objective are:

    1. Beat Super C without dying (long time target, I've been so close several times)
    2. Beat Castlevania III without dying (just died once. On the last form of the last boss )
    3. Beat Punch-Out... without using save states on Sandman and Tyson.

    So, anyways, I don't know if I should throw up some videos at some point (we do have a LP section though), but I'd really appreciate some advice on what to play next. Preferably NES, but it doesn't have to be. And preferably good games (subjective of course), I tend to get bored with, for instance, Ghosts and Goblins very fast because it sort of sucks.

    Oh, and I'm torn about whether to play through games I've beaten as a wee child, meaning Megaman I-III and, uh, yeah.

    Fun? No? Aww, come on. Very few people around me in the real world let me brag about this stuff.

    Michael Ballack, he scores free-kicks.
    He's got black hair, and he's german.
    Michael Ballack, trains in paddocks.
    in his spare time, HE FARMS HADDOCKS!
    Watch me play Super C, guys!!

    Metal Storm. It's the oldest "gravity swapping" game that I'm aware of. I've had a bit of fun playing it recently, though I have yet to beat it since it's a bit conspicuous to pull out a controller during class.

    Nothing says Retro like Galaga
    As every thread of gold is valuable, so is every moment of time.

    Battletoads, Metroid, or Mike Tysons Punch Out are pretty fun.

    Right-o, thanks chaps. I'll def go for Turtles (last time I played it, 1-2 years ago, it froze when I got to the damn... what's it called. Not the megazord... well, you know, the bally thingy... TECNODROME!) and Metal Storm. :>

    Oh, and I just beat Castlevania 3 without dying a single time. I'll throw up a video later if anyone's interested.

    Michael Ballack, he scores free-kicks.
