(If we aren’t talking special circuit.)
(If we aren’t talking special circuit.)
And for the completionists. Shout out to the new save feature for without it this would never have been possible. Dude was bananas hard.

Update. Regular Punch Out is harder than Mike Tyson’s Punch Out. When I was a kid, I was able to beat Mike Tyson’s Punch Out in 40 minutes, if Jordan Krohn is on Twitter he can confirm this, but this version with Mr Dream felt harder. Had to use save status. Either way GAME BEAT.
Update: I like a game that is just as excited about pausing as I am.
Update. Another game down. If you have 3 hours, try Act Raiser, a game I liked when I was a kid because there was a Sim City element and a warrior battling bad guys element. The ending gets deep, with some spelling errors (not included). Also, my name was Bort in this one.
I forgot to add Back to the Future to this thread, which I beat backstage before a Middleditch and Schwartz tour show in something like 20 minutes because like magic they had a NES emulator set up for people backstage. https://twitter.com/rejectedjokes/status/1089378080752189440?s=20
Just finished Link’s Awakening which was very fun and VERY cute. Also IT WAS ALL A DREAM! OR. WAS. IT???????????
I never look at hints or cheats on the internet until I’m done with a game and now that I finished I found out there was A SONG THAT WARPED YOU TO ANY WARP ZONE ON THE MAP. THIS. WOULD. HAVE. SAVED. A. LOT. OF. TIME. MAAAAAMMMMBOOOOOO!!!!
Uh oh... I got a Sega Genesis mini and went on a run with the legend to start things off. i beat the game but without the save function it would have been VERY VERY HARD. And yes I gasped every time I jumped out of the water when I was low on breathe. This game is still awesome.
While Sonic was freeing all those tiny animals, Robotnick went and collected all the infinity stones. It’s crazy that this isn’t a bigger plot point in Sonic 2. #InfinityWarobotnick
And if I’m gonna beat the original Sonic, I had to beat Sonic 2. This game is incredible & not too hard until you get on that spaceship then everything is a nightmare till the end. In the end, Sonic falls off the ship & is saved by Tails! To celebrate... he jumps off a plane.
Just beat Castlevania: Bloodlines. Really fun game & as a kid those visual tricks would have blown my mind. Like a lot of Genesis games it gets difficult near the end, so the save feature becomes my best friend. Oh the time we saved. But there was on thing that blew my mind-
How could John possibly defeat Dracula AND Dracula’s niece when he walks up and down stairs like this?
Update. Things are going great.
Finished Chrono Trigger which is truly one of the greatest video games ever made. I can not recommend it enough. Was one of my favorites as a kid and is still in the top 5 today. I was surprised that the big reveal at the end of the game is that Chrono’s mom is Jewish.
And putting this on my video game thread. The ending I got from Chrono trigger. https://twitter.com/rejectedjokes/status/1243993888370507781?s=20
Just finished Celeste which was a beautiful game that followed a young woman who suffers from depression & panic attacks going up a metaphorical & actual mountain. The dialogue in this game was fantastic the whole way through. Also, I've never died so many times in a game ever.
And here is a beautiful sequence where Madeline talks about what depression feels like to her. A fun game and therapy. LOVE IT. https://twitter.com/rejectedjokes/status/1246876578723680256?s=20
Finished another game from my childhood- Out of This World. I loved this game as a kid. So crazy, cool & none of my friends knew about it which made it a fun little secret. The first time you play, it can get frustrating. Then after you figure it out, it takes 45 minutes to beat.
Beat another one from my childhood to add to this thread. One of my favorites of all time for any system- The Legend of Zelda: A Link to The Past. Still incredible. Still so fun. I like to imagine these 4 photos tell the story of why Link fought so hard to defeat Ganon.
Whoa baby. Just beat Ori and the Blind Forest and it was just amazing. An absolutely stunning game, with a movie like score and an incredibly emotional story. Really really loved this one. Here's a piece of the ending, don't watch if you are gonna play and don't want spoilers.
