We could double up on it: Now instead of just one person beating it, two people have to beat each game.
Could throw in a minimalist category: Beat it, someone else beat it without collecting a certain thing/doing a certain task (e.g. Zelda without the sword).

Just a thought :} ]]> Can NA Beat Every NES Game In A Year - 2015 http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=31&threadid=140551 2015-12-31T02:33:07 -05.00 scaryice 1620 need to decide what to play right at the stroke of midnight for 2016 to get back on the board.

You know, a gold glitch in Dragon Warrior sounds like a good idea, but you will need the experience you'd get from playing the game properly and grinding out the gold you need, so it really just makes it take longer to get the experience you need.
If you're doing it optimally the consensis is the gold glitch is SLIGHTLY quicker.  So even the ones who say use the glitch aren't saving that much. Kinda like the door glitch in zelda 1 on nes, it saves a key, but some of the extra keys are so easy to get, you don't even save a second. My current route has like 8 extra keys cause I can't decide which ones to skip yet, and I'm used to grabbing them. 

That said, the usfullness of the gold glitch in DW have changed now to favor using it.  Looks like people have found ways to muntipulate RNG for battles to get metal slime kills early.  Like, level 1 kills of metal slimes.  Unless I was looking at a very mislabeled video last night.  But this level of speedrun is almost cheating to me.  Not that I am aginst cheating, but for what we're doing here, I feel bad even doing the gold bug. Except for the fact it doesn't help that much.

What games are you planning to beat, Ozzy?
 
Zelda, Metroid, Dragon Warrior, and Final Fantasy are the first 4 I'm going for, they were the first four I beat last year.
Well, if you watch speed runs, you should know about some of the best tricks. I know for Final Fantasy you can level up in the fire cave by fighting the agamas over and over (it's a forced encounter square). That's supposed to be the best leveling spot. And in Dragon Warrior, there's the gold glitch in the first castle which people do for half an hour to get better equipment.

I usually beat Punch Out!, Ghosts 'n Goblins, Rolling Thunder and Superman right after New Years eve, but this time I will tackle Mutant Virus instead. I managed to beat it today, so I think I can do it before the weekend again.
