That's funny because it really was. That controller probably helped me beat at least 25 NES games that I would have no shot at without it. Not only the turbo, but the floating D pad really gave more precision in jumps. I just bought an NES clone with 500 games and it has all three Ninja Gaiden games. When I get it I'll have to see how pathetic I am....

Good luck. I had fun but I was getting whooped. So whooped in fact that I wasn't even frustrated. I was laughing.

For the record, My attempt was the exact opposite of this guys! It made me feel 1000 times more pathetic than I already was, and I was already tipping the pathetic scale. Fun though

Reading through this thread I wish I had held on to all my older systems. I still have some but I wish I kept the N64 , Atari 2600 , and Sega Master System.

I still have:
Sega Genesis
Sega Dreamcast
Nintendo Game Cube
PS 1
PS 3
PS 4 Pro
Xbox
Xbox 360 - 2
Xbox one
Xbox one X

I've never owned a PS 2 , I think that's going to be my next purchase.

Mistakes were made man. N64 was truly a great system, even though the joystick on those controllers was about the worst thing imaginable.

I've been very fortunate that my parents never threw out any of my old systems growing up, and then I've continued that trend in my adult life.

Only game console casualties I've had are Sega CD (dead), PS1 (dead), Wii (traded for Wii U). Everything else is still around
Atari 2600
NES
SNES
N64
Gamecube
Wii U
Sega
Sega Saturn
Sega Dreamcast
PS2
PS3
PS4
Xbox
Xbox 360
Xbox One

That video is absolutely insane. Part of Ninja Gaiden is memorizing the patterns, but this guy just took it to the next level! I know when I play it I will get super frustrated. I haven't played it in 20 years, so I'm sure it will be really baddddd......

That Arcus guy talking through it was quality and entertaining...hard to explain, but it's all so memorized and he's so chill.

Meanwhile, I was crushing beers and dying every 12 seconds on average. Honestly, about 300 deaths in 2 hours.

Funny, I didn't get frustrated, I just laughed.........(and drank Bud Select drafts).

Re: Retro Console/Game Collecting Thread

I still have some of my old systems (NES, Vic 20, N64, Xbox) but got rid of others (Coleco, Dreamcast). Looking back, I would have kept all of them, but at the time it was a combination of me not playing them and wanting the space (and some $$$) back.

Most of my gaming purchases this year will be spent on retro games and systems. Not much about this generation (X1, PS4, Switch) has held my interest.

Mafia for the PS2
World of Outlaws: Sprint Cars PS2
Resistance series (my copies got lost at some point) PS3
NBA Jam 2 on GameBoy advance
College Hoops 2k8 (gave my copy to my brother never got it back) PS3
ESPN NFL 2K5 PS2
Black PS2
Bottom of the Ninth PS1
World Series Baseball Genesis

All discs in EXCELLENT condition

Re: Retro Console/Game Collecting Thread

Picked up TMNT II The Arcade Game for the NES over the weekend.

Whatever happened to the Beat Em' Up genre of games? This game, Double Dragon, Streets of Rage, etc., were so prevalent in the 80's-90's, and are a ton of fun. Just pick up a controller and get to business. I really miss games you could finish in a single sitting.

It's so refreshing to go back to the older games and just plug-in and play. No having to waiting for games to install or download patches/updates.

The Beat Em' up genre was great.

So many great ones, Golden Axe, River City Ransom, Final Fight, Renegade, just to name a few lol. My favorite was Turtles in Time.

Re: Retro Console/Game Collecting Thread

Renegade was one of those difficult games. I finished it spamming the jump kick lol
