Normal mode with Blanka wiped out Street Fighter II. I am comfortable with the fighting genre, but the Game Boy just couldn't keep up to ports (imo) which is unfortunate...

Final Fantasy Legend completed. I should be able to post the picture tomorrow. Wasn't quite what I suspected. I would have never figured out some stuff without a guide to go by. Happy to have another one done though.

How many times did the CPU use "Zwyxz" as an answer?

Yeah I had to check a guide a couple times the first time I played that one. It starts out really good and doable, then the "central tower" mechanic starts to get tricky, and then they start whipping out hidden doors and mazes, and for me it was almost not even fun anymore unless I got some hints. Definitely an obtuse not-actually-Final-Fantasy RPG. It's the opposite of Great Greed, where you never ever have any questions about where to go next. Try that one next if you've never played it.

It's hilarious. All 4 Jeopardy games do that, and I think the SNES ones do that too. I suppose the alternative would have been to actually code in some wrong answers for each question, (or uhh, questions for each answer) but it just drives home how half-baked these Jeopardy games are. Not to mention the bugs, and the title music which I guarantee nobody listened to before shipping the game out. Four times. (actually I think 1 of the 4 gets it right, but the other 3 are EGREGIOUS.)

Final Fantasy Legend started off strong and I had high hopes for it but it turned into more of a chore about halfway through. I also wasn't a fan of buying the stat upgrades for my human players from the store. I over leveled by accident, casually playing it in the background, while doing other stuff and it turned the whole game into the breeze.

I've never heard of Great Greed before. I'll be sure to take a look at it. Thanks for the suggestion.

I'm giving up on Battletoads in Ragnaroks World. I haven't been able to get passed the ice level yet. I can beat Battletoads on the nes but this port, at least to me, is much harder. On the nes when I die I feel like it's my fault but the deaths in this game feel cheap. It's been more frustrating than fun so I'll shelf it for a while. My library of gameboy games isn't too large so I might come back to it at some time. Instead of Battletoads I'm going to play my childhood copy of Pokemon Red. This should be a good time!

Ha, I’d say at least twice.

This is my entire gameboy collection (minus metroid II and Links Awakening). I'm planning on playing through all these this year for the thread. The couple gameboy colour games are ones I wanted to play through anyways. Shouldn't take too much time to play these. It's been going quickly so far.

The game without a label is Pokemon Silver.

There's a small handful of games that have been beaten every year since 2013, all by different people. Little Mermaid is one!

I'm not sure how close that bootleg is to the original games but I'll look into it

I've played through Pokemon red so many times that I can beat it quickly. Squirtle single handlely gets through the beginning then once you grab abra, you can psybeam and physic most of the rest. I picked up zapdos for Fly and the wheezing was just to swap to and take a hit or two while healing my other guys for the elite four. With the right move set pokemon games are a breeze.

This was a really fun game. I'll have to keep my eye out for my own copy someday.

I tried Looney Tunes for a bit at the end of last year, because I saw it had been beaten every year except 2017. I just couldn't get past the Tweety level. Made me so mad.

Yes, that level was a pain in the ass. I'm not sure why that asshole kept on throwing stuff at Tweety. I swear some of the stuff was homing too. I also had trouble with the Wild E. Coyote boss. Speaking of which, the boss music in this game was spectacular.

The Punisher: The Ultimate Payback is done... finally. It took me a while to beat this one. I had to keep putting it down then coming back to it later. Good thing the whole game takes about 15 minutes. The final boss is cheap. You almost need to play the rest of the game perfectly so you have enough lives built up that you can tank the last guy.
