That is just my guess at an objective ranking.  The Mega Man games tend to be regarded as difficult games and I can see spots in the game that take a lot of repetition (and some luck) to get good at going in blind.  It's 3/10 for me just because I can get through it without a ton of effort even though there are a few tricky spots.
 

Pardon the delay, but I just put up a new blog post!  Take a deep breath... 

Link: #5 - Kirby's Adventure

Keep up the good work, looks like fun

Fantastic write up. I love Kirby's Adventure. Personally i feel the last boss was harder then Meta Knight. Despite the ease the game is great!

Thank you all so much for reading!  I'm glad you enjoy it! 
 
The last boss is pretty tricky, but over all the years of repetition I have him completely mapped out so the last boss is easy now for me.  Meta Knight has a lot of randomness, a small hitbox, and Kirby has a forced small attack range that when all put together makes it just a bit tricky for me compared to the rest of the game.

 

I am already looking forward to the next game! I just beat Rainbow Islands today so will soon be looking for a new game to tackle!

Another great job on the review! I need to give Kirby's Adventure a try sometime. I had moved on to the SNES by the time it was released, so I never really got a chance to play it back then. It sounds like a fun game!

Two days in a row!    Another post falls into place today!

Now, fair warning that the next blog will take some time though it's a good one.

Link: #6 - Tetris

After all the times we have talked I can't believe you have been keeping a secret from me. You never mentioned you were a Battletoads master. I bow down to you sir. I really need to get back on the horse and beat some NES games, it's been close to a month since I beat a game.

I can't beat 9-5 on B. I've beat all the others but that one

It's true!  I'm only good at Battletoads since I spent a lot of my childhood playing it.

I need to get back to playing myself ... hopefully soon!  I'd like to get at least one more game/post done by the end of the year.
 
If you can beat 8-5 and 9-4 then you can handle 9-5.    A lot of it has to do with getting a good run of pieces and a decent starting layout.  I had to do a few attempts on both 8-5 and 9-4 and then got lucky on 9-5 and beat it first try.


 

I'm back!  I finally finished another game ... a legendary game!  The latest blog post is linked below!

#7 - The Legend of Zelda

Another great article! I still need to get around to tackling the second quest myself one of these days.

Can't wait to read! Such an excellent game!

Another game down! I did some whipping and got whipped in the process!

#8 - Castlevania

Another great review! That second loop is tough!

No new blog today, but here's a bit of an update.

It's a rare occurrence but last night I had a block of 2 1/2 hours of game time and it just so happened to work out that I finished up two games for the blog! Those blogs still need to be written, but now I am at 10 games completed.

I bring this up because I set up this project so that the first 10 games were hand-picked by me, and so from now on the games will be pulled off of my pre-randomized list. That makes future updates very much uncertain, but also kind of exciting and interesting.

I'm not going to spoil Game #11, but I'll say that it's a game I have not played before outside of the 5 minutes testing the cart. I also noticed that it has not yet been completed as part of the current Can NA Beat Every NES Game In A Year thread, so maybe I'll get my first contribution out of this!

I'm aiming to have Blog #9 out next week. It's not a bad thing to have a little bit of a buffer. Stay tuned!

Another week, another blog post!  This is my wordiest one yet ... over 2000 words according to Wordpress.  Considering it's a precursor to my favorite game of all time, I think it's worth the long write up!

#9 - Metroid
 

I played Metroid from start to finish this past summer for the first time since I was a kid. I found it to be a lot more fun with an online map so that I could plan my route on the go.

I totally get this.  I mentioned in my post that NES Metroid feels really dated and it's hard to get into today.  If you like the Metroid series, Nintendo re-did Metroid way better in Metroid: Zero Mission on GBA.  I highly recommend that game!

 
I figured out my own route for speedrunning the game after I took my time exploring everything first and I think I ended up with a really solid route.  I liked doing it on my own, but of course a map would help with that too. 
 

I think I had a pretty good route too. I just missed getting the best ending by about 5 minutes, which was pretty good given that I hadn't finished the game in one sitting in years.

 

New post!  I beat the fan favorite DuckTales!  Or is it Duck Tales?

#10 - DuckTales

This finishes up the hand-picked portion of the game list, so the rest of the list is all randomized.  It's already looking to be pretty interesting!

I have actually finished 13 games so I need to do some catching up on blog posts. 

Pretty cool idea. I look forward to seeing updates. I've got a tough one for you...MARBLE MADNESS! Damn was that game hard.

Thanks for reading!  I appreciate it. 

Marble Madness is one that I'm already pretty good at, but it took me lots of practice to get the hang of it.
