As for NES gaming not related to this thread, I beat TMNT and Ghosts N Goblins for the first time this year. I've had TMNT since I was a kid, but was never able to finish. When I replayed it, I was surprised how easy most of it was. Stage 3 always gave me a lot of trouble, but I have no problems getting through it now. I still had a lot of trouble with the final stage though.


I haven't played a lot of Chubby Cherub, but Nightmare on Elm Street is a pretty solid game.  It definitely has some flaws (it's so easy to take cheap hits from the enemies), but I really enjoy playing the game.

I beat TMNT for the first time back in 2011 and it was one I struggled with as a kid as well.  I could consistently get to the third stage, but could never make the jumps in the sewers and always got washed back to the entrance of the sewers/room.  It really isn't that hard of a game until you get to the last area of the Technodrome.  If you're loaded up with special weapons, the last hallway before Shredder isn't too bad.  If you don't have a lot of special weapons, you're likely to take a ton of damage.
My only problem with Nightmare on Elm Street was how your shots would randomly go through the enemies.  Other than that, I have no complaints.

The stage 3 sewers are where I had trouble in TMNT back in the day too.  I only got through them a few times before this year and I don't recall ever beating the Technodrome boss.

I'm definitely making that one of my goals to beat that game as soon as I can.
I just have to try and find it for a decent price.
 

It was a lot of fun and I'm sure you will really enjoy it if you haven't already played it.  The night I beat it for the first time, I think I played it for like two hours, and by the time I got to the last few difficult puzzles, my patience was wearing thin lol.

Also, in other NES news not related to this competition, I managed to complete a no-death Amagon speed run where I didn't transform into Megagon at all. I also got the world record speed run for StarTropics (although I only held it for a week or so). ]]>
