Games Beaten 2015
Re: Games Beaten 2015
I played Ninja Gaiden for the first time a couple years ago. I haven't played it since, so I don't exactly remember. The final boss has multiple forms, right? The trick I used was that if you beat the first form and lose all your lives, if you use a continue and play through the last level again you start on the second form for the last boss. So I would use one sub weapon to beat the first form, lose all my lives (not from a lack of trying) and then use a different sub weapon to beat the second form.

For me it's the jumps WITHOUT the ramps that happen later in the stage in Battlemaniacs (SNES). That requires a fair amount of timing.

Re: Games Beaten 2015
Nice. I beat Battletoads a few months ago. Excellent achievement, for sure. How hard did you find the Clinger-Winger stage? That one really requires some deft maneuvering if you're not using the pause-trick.
Anyway, it took me a bunch of runs at it and practice. Then I busted out the real system and made my attempts there. First run saw me hit the last stage and die there. Second run right after that, I got in the zone, and got to the end with no real drama, had 7-8 lives, making the Dark Queen a formality.
I did use warps, but no codes. I actually didn't even burn any continues on that run.
Oh, right. Wait. The screenshot. The screenshot. (Yes, I'm proud of beating that game, can you tell?)

Ninja Gaiden is mostly fair right up to the end. Stage 6 gets really tough, though, especially that last run toward the boss lair. The end boss is also pretty cheap. If you do it all in one run, chances are the timer will be your enemy more than anything. It took me forever to get Jacquio's pattern down, but once I did, that's pretty much a formality. Going through 6-2 in particular every time I wanted to take on the end boss, though, sucked. My advice is, if you're not in good shape before you hit the boss room, just suicide there. Dying in-stage won't send you all the way back to the start of 6-1.

Re: Games Beaten 2015
Thanks for the warm welcome dudes!
With regard to clinger winger, I found it fairly difficult in knowing when to turn. I explored a few methods but ended up holding a direction always and turning late. The boss took a few continues but it is very straightforward when you know his pattern.
All this Ninja Gaiden talk makes me want to attempt that game next. I got it in a NES lot last year, but never really played it much.

The developer mentioned that they actually were influenced by Zelda II interestingly enough. Made me (and everyone) think of Ducktales though.
Let strength be granted, so the world might be mended...so the world might be mended.
Re: Games Beaten 2015
Super Castlevania IV is generally considered one of the easier entries, though I ended up finding Rondo to be easier to get through. That said, the second I unlocked Maria I switched to her and went through the rest of the game with her. If I had tried to Richter it the whole way through I might have considered it harder than IV.

Ah, it's good to finally have more time to devote to games
Stanley Parable
I won't say too much about this as I think it would take away some of the charm if I gave away too much... All you really do is choose where to walk and what things to push, but the funny narration (in a smart way I guess?) combined with the situations you're thrown in is amazing. It's a bit short (even if you go for multiple endings), but it's very much worth it imo.
BattleBlock Theatre
This game also made me laugh a lot, but in a veeery different way than Stanley Parable. It's not exactly potty humour, but it's definitely very, very silly. I can't remember most of the good lines the narrator says, but an example of one was something like "Don't hit the lasers or you'll poop yourself and die!". I know that's not really everyone's cup of tea, and normally I don't like it that much, but here I felt it was done pretty well. The gameplay was pretty solid too imo, even if it's just a simple little platformer. It was very colourful, the difficulty didn't ramp up too quickly, the controls felt pretty responsive, and there were a fair number of checkpoints. I can't really think of any one time where I thought it was unfair to be honest. Only problem I had with it was the sliding was a bit difficult for me to pull off, but thankfully you don't need to use it that often.
So I really enjoyed both of these games, and I think BattleBlock Theatre is probably now one of my favourite platformers

Re: Games Beaten 2015
Nice. Good work with River Raid. It is a stupendous 2600 game, but I have not played it enough to earn the badge. I need to remedy that sometime.
