Re-configured the guest room to get my CRT TV, NES and Genesis hooked up. Played and finished Super Mario Bros. and was making my way through Sonic The Hedgehog before I had to make an appointment across town.

Tomorrow I'm going to bust out Streets of Rage.

I played through Streets of Rage yesterday after you brought it up DJ.

Great game for its time. So much fun.

Think I'm going to bust out Ninja Gaiden for the NES. Never beat this game (has anybody?), and am going to try my luck again.

I've never finished Ninja Gaiden. That game is a beast.

Yes it is.

I don't foresee myself finishing it this time around either....

I never did as a kid. There is a damn jump that is a very long one that a bird spawns just as you land and will bump you into the hole. Brutal. I can still feel the rage and hear the sound of the smashing of my NES controller.

Ever watch the speed runs of that game on Twitch.tv? People run it without dying. Its crazy. Like watching the guys beat Contra without dying. Outrageous

Never saw the speed runs.

I'll have to check those out.

They are insane. I die 100 times on level 1, they don't get hit the whole game.

Today is the day. I am sick as a dog, but still at work. When I get home I am firing up Ninja Gaiden. Will report how I do. Was going to start Super Mario RPG but I think I'll slash the day away.

Ninja Gaiden was a beast. I did eventually beat it as a kid as well as 2 and 3. I also thought Mega Man 2 was difficult in the end trying to find what weapon defeated Dr. Wiley.
