First thing I noticed is the control isn't as tight as the first two NG games on the NES.

The grinder has his work cut out for him this week. But he is back home, tapeworm has highjacked an area in his daughters bedroom, kobra is looking for any advantage and skinnygrinny will have some time to make a solid run. it’s a shot at the title baby! 

Bring it on home Wendy

...or was it Whitney?

My first attempt was 75K lol

I'm rooting for grynyrd skynyrd to win. Gauntlet laid down.

Nah, the people's champ is sandbagging and will take the win for the third time, with 2 tournament wins in a row!

I got 500k with one stupid death in 5-1. I should be able to do it with no deaths. I'm starting to shake off the rust.


There are some sections where I avoid killing enemies because I just want to get through ASAP without taking a lot of damage or dying. Very few health refills in this game.

Whooooooo mbd is coming out swinging!

Sanda!!! My boy! You just Gabe me a +1 in my determination skill! 

Wwwwoooooo...!!!

Ya buddy! Skinny’s got a fan base baby! Jimtendo added +1 to skinny’s stamina skill! 
 

Skinny 2018!

The Patriots are not the people's champs  

 

Skinny is feeling the love! 

Ausden adds +1 to skinny’s dexterity skill! 

It took me probably 10 attempts to break 70k my best 1 life is 92k right now. 

Hoping i I can grind enough to get through on 1cc by Wednesday or Thursday. 
 

Ok, I'm almost at 500k in this run. I've no-deathed it to the last act.

...And I blew it with a stupid mistake. That level's easy!

alright kicklefreaks:

I've had no time to play so far :/

I sat down for 20 min today and made it to act 3 with one life.

Hoping to be able to sit down and grind for a few hours. Maybe tomorrow.

Damn gotta work six days this week. Not looking good for the grinder. We will do our best.

Explain to the boss man what is up and how important this is. If that doesn't work...quit!
 

This isn't the most beginner friendly game on the NES. There's a lot to memorize if you've never played it before.


 

Pretty sure I’m not gonna make it Saturday lol. “Sorry, I have a nintender contest I can’t miss”. 
 

No joke. I just put in an hour and a half and couldn’t get to act four (I had to have been close though 3-d I think?). 

Its gonna be crazy if I can no death this game by Sunday but we will try. Almost every enemy has to be memorized. But that’s how NG2 was and I figured that game out pretty quickly. 

Its a shot at the title via platformer, probably as good a opportunity as I’ll ever have. 

Time me to catch some z’s I’ll be back for more. Try to get through act four today. 
 

Act 4 is fun. There's some Mega Man style platforming in the first part.

Act 5 can be annoying due to how many enemies the game throws at you.

If you liked the ice physics in NG2 then you'll love act 6.

Act 7 is huge and has a strict time limit. This is probably the hardest NG to no death because of that. Try to keep the fire shield.

You make it sound so enjoyable lol
 

Ok skinny got kickle out, the master sword, original skinny name tag (from first contest), jimtendo/Richie yellow ranger, the first two round carts for motivation, grinders best controller with the star sticker on it, some coffee and two hours of sleep.

Here we go.
