/vr/ - Retro Games

After 20 years, I finally beat this game.

There's no excuse for why it should be in the top 20 most difficult games on the NES. It's based off of a children's show. What were they thinking? And Shredder being a one hit death? How ultra-cheap is that?

Still, overall, it was a very fun game and it felt so satisfying to have finally beaten it.

It's been 20 years and I still can't beat this game.

I've beaten Ninja Gaiden, but TMNT has been kicking my butt all week long.

I made it to the final stretch of the Technodrome the other night, but didn't have the magic scrolls to fight off the robots with.

I went back tonight to grind the scrolls in the third stage, but then fell into a fiery pit in the fourth stage and guaranteed my defeat.

I've beaten Ninja Gaiden, Street Fighter 2010: The Final Fight, Friday the 13th, Contra III: The Alien Wars, Ghosts 'n Goblins, Ghouls 'n Ghosts, and Super Ghouls 'n Ghost.

WHY CAN'T I BEAT THIS GAME??? It's based off of a children's cartoon show. It shouldn't be one of the most difficult games in the NES library.
