I just did youtube playthroughs of them with no specials used, and honestly, the 3rd game is easier than the 2nd game without specials, the 2nd game is really hard without specials, lol.Beat TMNT 3: the Manhattan Project. Easily the best TMNT game on the system. The 2nd game is pretty good but a little too easy except for the ridiculously long post-hit invincibility enemies have. It still seems like the special attack (Hit A&B at the same time) comes out whenever it wants to and it's pretty much worthless here; only useful if you're going to cheese a boss and tank damage. But I did like it and it's nice to close a chapter on another game I could never beat as a kid.

My TMNT2 PlaythroughLink? Took me a while to figure out Krang's pattern. And the game is incredibly stingy when it comes to energy pickups.
The biggest thing I hate about the 2nd game is the extremely long post-hit invincibility enemies have. If you hit an enemy, you're forced to back off or they'll just walk up behind you for a cheap hit.
Got my copy of Star Versus in the mail today

Oh man can't wait to jam out on this.
I think it was 35. Not 100% sure.Picked up a copy of the new Retro Gamer with the Greatest NES Games cover. The list is almost all easy picks but I like having copies of stuff like this. I'd forgotten how damn expensive those nice UK magazines are here in the US.
First I've heard of this. Looks rad. How much was it? I see it's sold out right now.
Yep, been re-visiting this list lately. I used to be a regular on the Racketboy forums before I discovered GAF, and I actually wrote the NES 101 article on that site.I duno if you've ever been to this site or if it's been posted.
But this helped me a bunch

thirty-five dollars? Wat
Sealed
There's also Exciting Boxing on Famicom cart, but I'll likely never get that, since it goes for hundreds of dollars complete due to coming with a blow-up punching bag controller...
Just looked it up. It was 40 + shipping so it was like 51 or so total. Why would this be surprising to you?
Yeah, $40 is a fine price. Many repros are sold for $20-$40 so that's a solid price for a new home brew game -- if it's a good game. Give us impressions soon!

Ha, thanks. Been a 20 year project. FDS is basically done, Famicom is going to cost a lot more.D.Lo, I love your passion for Konami collecting.
Yea that's how I read it as well lolI thought that was the price for the copy of retrogamer!
This man knows what's up. The soundtrack is amazing as well.My favourite's Captain Tsubasa 2 Super Striker.
Respect someone played the game. I played it near '95 for the first time, back then I was only 8, but I was totally amazed!This man knows what's up. The soundtrack is amazing as well.
I actually own a physical copy for the Famicom but with the english translation flashed onto it. It's freakin' amazing and criminally unknown!Respect someone played the game. I played it near '95 for the first time, back then I was only 8, but I was totally amazed!

Yes, that was the actual price on a really nice (open) Tron Bonne. Alas, it is already sold.
CIB black box games Nos. 11, 12, 13 and 14 for me. Rad Racer with original 3D glasses.
That doesn't look like a black box to me.
Well, my PCE Duo R and AV Famicom are off to visit Baphomet.
OH GOD I MISS THEM SO MUCH
nice haul!
fam when they return they shall be absolutely glorious~
http://www.nesreproductions.com/I have Japanese copies of Final Fantasy 1, 2, and 3. How do I go about getting the English version flashed in to those carts?
I already can't wait. They've become my most played systems over the past year. There's something about quick arcade style action and design simplicity that has captured my attention.
I think it was mostly intact in that era. I've been playing some N64 and have the same (wanted) frustrated feelings falling off a huge climb in a 3D platfomer due to one careless move as I do in Mega Man.well, in my view? simplicity + arcade time gameplay now represents something unique that you rarely see in modern games: a level of precision and risk/reward stressed over game length padding/making the player feel like they're reached a skill level they're not due etc etc that kinda shines in our current era. as someone who constantly digs through the crates, it's painfully obvious how much design philosophy shifted around the 32-bit era....and not as a negative, again if you're down for the former, it just kinda shines as a result
