I beat both of these on my first try while blindfolded when I was 2 years old. Get good, losers.

>>5433228
>hitboxes that always intersect with your hurtbox

Crap design.

Any AstroboyNES's stage without guide

looking good bro

>>5433228

>>5433239
FUCK THIS STAGE

>>5433319
TMNT? Maybe. Super Mario "Literally Dark Souls" Bros. 1? Yah I dont think so poser boy

>>5433554
>never made it past this part
FUCK

>>5433228
I beat that level when I was 10 or so. But you kids Fucking give up too quick.

Go play something better suited for your lack of Vidya skills.

>>5433239
too hard man!!! give me bloodborne anyday

>>5433920
Unironically not that bad

>>5433920
Ya, that one is pretty annoying.

>>5433228
I...I'm sorry...

>>5433228
You did switch your turtles out during that, right?
Because that section is not hard at all if you do.

>>5434768
This. If this is hard they might as well quit now. The final level can be a bitch.

>I did it with savestates that means it's easy
Zoom zoom zooooooooom

>>5433582
This

>>5434784
I refuse to use savestates. Takes all the fun out. The fuck is wrong with you, the dam is NOT a hard part of TNMT. Like >>5434774 says, the technodrome is where shit gets real.

SWITCH YOUR TURTLES YOU DUMBASSES.

>>5433228

>>5434784
Dumb memeposter

>>5433228
"impossible" in that it makes you ragequit long before you beat it, because there is literally no difficulty in this level other than unfair bullshit.
In a good game, I can lose for hours and only get more determined to win. I couldn't put up with this shit for more than half an hour at a time.

>>5434768
>needing to switch your turtles out for that section where even if you're fucking around you'll take
a little bit of damage MAYBE twice

From the same game, but from a different format. This is what happen when you let

FUCKING

LEAVES

make a video game.

This game is easy if you have nip levels of discipline, focus, and patience. Same as shmups.
Unfortunately for us...
Dexamphetamine.

>>5435173
Is that jump even possible on dos?

>>5433239

>>5435538
problem is not the DOS but the hardware. 80's PC weren't good enough.

This fucking ladder

>>5435538
I think it's impossible . But the port is trash so it's not a surprise to find things like that

>>5435538
The game has a cheat code that lets you skip that section. I guess they found about the impossible jump during playtesting and just stuck that code in there as a way of getting around it.

>>5434752
But he does a double jump when he's falling from the first platform. How can someone be so stupid?

I actually just got a TMNT cartridge off of Ebay and it came in the mail about two hours ago. It had been on my to-do list for the longest time. I have about 25 NES games in my collection and it's too bad I didn't get this one back when I still had a CRT TV.

>>5436646
saga frontier?
i don't play this game.
explain this.

Now try it on the C64. I linked both the US and European versions because the US one has horrible ear-rape music that appears to have been fixed on the Euro release (note how much twangier it is).

These versions were made by leaf developer Unlimited Software who also produced those absolutely sterling C64 ports of Castlevania and Metal Gear. In all cases they seem to have had absolutely no clue how to use the SID, but from what I understand Castlevania and Metal Gear were never released in Europe so they didn't get an audio fix.

I love how they had 7 of those purple guys running around on the ground just to show off that the C64 has bigger sprites than the NES.

>>5436812
At least they actually bothered coding a sprite multiplexer unlike Castlevania.

>>5436660
The last scenario of the 'Gustave' campaign. Almost impossible to beat unless you're really lucky doing a step by step following a walkthrough. You're literally fighting with sticks and stones against a steel army that outnumbers and outlevels you.

>>5436665
The C64 port of TMNT was never properly completed. A lot of music, bosses, and other content didn't get in due to deadlines.

>>5433228
I normally suck donkey dick at vidya and I beat that stage with only a bit of annoyance. I don't know why it gets memed up to be some kind of herculean challenge.

>>5438880
'Cause they never played Wizardry IV.

>>5437035
can you grind in that game?

>>5435186
It helps to have the nip version of the game too.
It's literally easier there because of anti-rentals greed here.

Dreamcast version of Sonic Adventures 2 Robotnik falls through the floor in an infinite loop and it is literally impossible to beat the game.

The Atari 7800 Impossible Mission was well known to be unbeatable due to a bug.

Not as hard as TMNT, but I've lost a few lives here.

>>5439657
This segment isn't actually all that difficult. All you have to do is press left or right when you're between the spikes (the water will not move you up if you're in constant motion).

>>5433239
>>5433319
Can someone explain this meme to me? It's been decades since playing that game but I don't remember anything like this being hard. Is that the whole joke and it's just XD random? Or is there really something that people get stuck on?

>>5435067
I love Ecco to bits but that level is an outlier and just dumb. It's purely a memory practice and I consider that shitty game design.

It's the bits like pic related that make it shine.

>>5433228
Maybe if you're 6 years old I can see this section giving you trouble.

Revolution X on home console is genuinely impossible to beat without continues. In the light gun arcade cabinet you can move the cursor as fast as you can move your body but on a Dpad it has a maximum speed which you can't possibly exceed and that forces you to take hits when enemies or projectiles spawn at opposite sides of the screen. No continues might seem arbitrary but given that it's an arcade port it's not unrealistic to approach it in a 1cc mindset. Even in the arcade version it's still not realistic to do, you have to have a perfect memory of everything that happens if you want to beat it in one credit and get the true ending. I would imagine a ton of home console light gun ports that didn't have actual light gun support would have ended up this way unless the developers took the time to adjust the game for the different control scheme which probably wasn't the case because it was the 90's.

>>5433920
There's a much more fucktarded puzzle like this in BoF 1 IIRC.

>>5439657
Even if you are wary of trying this >>5442180 it's not difficult to have some a invincibility powerup by that point

>>5433228
This segment is also annoying because of the fucking timer; it resets whenever you die in this area, but if you don't die at all, then you will barely have enough time to actually defuse all the bombs. It's like the developers designed it specifically knowing that you were going to lose a turtle or two in this area.

>>5435538
Furthermore, are there even levels in the game beyond that one, or did the devs just say "fuck it", stopped the porting project at that, expanded the gap to make it impossible to jump over and shipped the thing out the door?

>>5433228
I could beat that stage without taking damage when I was 8

>>5446267
Yes. It's literally just them fucking up the design. As has been mentioned, the European release doesn't have this problem, and even in the American release it's possible to use an included walk-through-walls-in-the-overworld code to bypass this area and access the rest of the game.

Y'all need to step the fuck up.

The dam is not that hard. If you have at least three turtles, know how to navigate the level quickly, and time your way past the electrical currents that turn on off without getting hit you should have no issues. The trick with electrical seaweed is to just go balls out and swim right through it. Take the damage. There are only two sections you really need to go into. If you lose a turtle so what you still have more. Then you can rescue whoever you lost in the next section. No worries.

>>5434805
This. Technodrome and caves are a pain in the ass.

Fuck this straight to hell.

>>5433228
not that bad, game doesn't really get hard until you go inside the technodrome

Someone has to do this.

>>5433228
You know that touching the seaweed doesn't instantly kill you, right? It slowly drains your health. It's a trivial obstacle.

>>5447106
why is this here?

>>5443212
How were you supposed to know you had to jump?

>>5433228
If the dam gives you trouble then I'd try to dissuade you from playing the rest of the game. The later levels (ESPECIALLY the enemy base and the technodrome) are much more challenging, if not grade A bullshit.
Hell, even compared to other NES games it's not that challenging unless you look at it like someone who's only used to easy games like kirby or mario. Ghosts and Goblins at the first stage is already much more challenging than anything in TMNT1 for the NES.

The meme, like many others is "look, I'm being funny! please laugh!"

>>5433228
Jet Set Willy then someone won a contest by figuring out how to fix it.
