Man, the original Metroid is HARD.

So is the original Zelda, if you didn't have the map. Which was what Nintendo Power was for.

I miss reading Nintendo Power. I gave up after the Gamecube came along. I used to read it as a way of seeing what I should buy. I bought soundtracks and beanie babies of mario, and action figures from zelda.

Back in the NES days I would blow into these games and play until I got blisters.

I miss the days of Cartridges.

That's what the toploader is for... yup, I have one. :D; the RF only cable is annoying though, as almost every splitter I have gives me static.

Also, am I the only one who finds Bad Dudes hard to control?

I broke out my N64 last night and couldn't help but laugh because I had to blow into the games to get them to start. It makes you feel old when you remember buying these consoles when they were new, and now they are ancient technology.

This Jet Set Willy Map, I don't know if it's art but it should be:

 

1. Whoever made this map has screwed up the staircases.

2. Where's the rest of it? The house was much bigger than that.

3. In Jet Set Willy 2, they added a load more rooms, including several with a space theme. If you mapped them out, they formed the shape of the Starship Enterprise. (See link.)

No, no, only HARD in you mind. If a young 3PX can beat it over and over, then so can you.

Honestly, the hardest part is at the very beginning before you collect all your gear. Just take it slow and steady for the first bit, until you collect a few health and weapon upgrades. You can say the exact same thing for Zelda, it is hardest at the start when you have only three hearts and a sword, but once you collect a few upgrades, things get easier (as in, not dying ever two seconds, not lacking challenge).

Or just buy a cheap new connector for your regular system and it will work as good as new. I got mine off ebay for $7 bucks shipped, if I remember right. 5 minutes of work to install it, and now it is just like owning a brand new system. The new part is made out of better matterial, so it shouldn't bend and corrode like the old one, which is what caused the need for blowing...

The NES version of bad dudes, yes. Also, NARPAS SWORD 0000 - helps with Metroid, a lot. One of a few cheat codes I memorized, was in tips & tricks's 200th issue.

I see, earlier in this page, your Metroids and Zeldas, and I raise a Ninja Gaiden. Oy, this game is one tough son-of-a-bitch!!

graphics, music, cutscenes, this game has it all

I've recently managed to get as far as, I think, stage 3-2. Yes Frink, emulation FTW, but real consoles kick ass too. I regret never having an actual nintendo console. The only things I have, are an Atari 2600 (which kicks ass, but I've only got 2 cartridges, Pole Position and Defender!), and a cheap Nes-clone bought in 1996, one of those things that has 17 built-in pirated games, and says "500.000 games" on the box! It sort of looks like an Snes, even the controller, but it really is a Nes-clone. This thing is fun, too, but I've got to rewire the controller, since I busted it up bad. Or I think I'll just try to find a regular Nes controller, since it should work, and I think they should be pretty cheap on Ebay these days...

Lately a good friend of mine lent me his Snes because he wanted me to see what was wrong with it, since it didn't seem to work. I cleaned the contacts inside the controller, tuned to the right channel, and played some of his cartridges. Man, the Snes is some fun!!!!

Other than that I've got literally Gigabytes of emulators and games, you name it, C64, Amiga, Nes, Snes, N64, DS, Ps1...

oh and some Dos games too. It took me 10 years to beat Prince of Persia! (not literally, 10 years passed since the first time I played it and the time I sat down and beat it, I think it was, like, a couple of years ago)

Well the two series, Ninja Gaiden and Shinobi, seem to be related anyway. In one of the cutscenes in the first Ninja Gaiden Shinobi is mentioned, it could very well be that very same Shinobi.

On another note, folks, raise your hands those who played and loved all those Lucas Games, the Monkey Island series (well mainly the first 2, since the creator of the saga was only involved in those), Maniac Mansion, Zak Mc Kracken and the Alien Mindbenders (!!!!)...

I should personally hang myself out of pure shame, because I finished all of these games looking up solutions off the web. Like, I didn't use the solutions just to finish the games, I used em to play through them, mostly (well of course I could figure out the easiest parts by myself). Yes I know I'm an idiot.

Well nowadays I'd never do that, I'm a bit wiser. That was me a few years ago...

To compensate, for those of you who haven't heard it yet, here's the theme from Zac Mc Kracken, as it was composed by Matthew Alan Kane, in a tape recording prior to the first (C64) port of the song:
