Yo LOL
5:47 bring back hella memories. Tell me grown you wouldn't have just took that shyt back to gamestop.
On the real tho when is the last time you beat a game and punched the air like "fukk YEAH"
It has been a long time on my end.
but the reason for this is 2 fold.
1. You a grown ass man, if the game that hard, you take gonna that shyt back or let it collect dust. nikkas got jobs and kids, fukk I look like struggling trying to get past level 4-2
2. As a kid you really had all the time in the world. So, your repetition game was gonna be epic. If you lower middle class like me you wasn't getting no 4-5 games a year, so you played whatever you had a shyt load. and if you do something a shyt load, you can study it and eventually beat it.

dog, when I was a kid I FINALLY made it thru the water level without losing a turtle. that alone should count for something. still couldn't beat that game tho despite coming out the water with all 4 turtles in tact.

I grow up on the original Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, and games back then was fukking brutal. Battletoads, TMNT, Ninja Gaiden, just a few to name, would make you want to go out in the middle of the street and get hit by a car.

Word. When I had that NES, Genesis, and SNES, I was lucky I had older cousins that would give me the cartridges of games they already beaten.
Mind you, them beat-em-ups were hard as shyt. Double Dragon II was some other shyt, especially the forest stage.

I started gaming with the Atari 2600 
Back when games really couldn't be beat and just got faster as you advanced through them. Imagine every game basically turning into F-Zero. My skills were sharp by the time NES came around. I've beaten TMNT without losing a turtle. The key to the water stage is to float instead of trying to swim.

this is so true. if I'm grown and I cop a game that's crazy like NES ninja gaiden, I would have thrown in the towel. cuz I'd end up getting another game. but yeah, as a kid, you had plenty of time to master these games. no matter how hard they are.
I still can't believe I didn't destroy a controller playing NES ninja gaiden back in the day.
