I know everyone is asking how my progress is going with these series, so here's the results so far!
I have now completed:
Star Wars (5 games)
Double Dragon (4)
Mario (6)
Castlevania (5)
I'm currently on the last TMNT (SNES' Turtles in Time) which shouldn't take me long. I think I'm going to beat the Contras next (2 NES, 1 SNES, and 1 SEGA). I might not do the SEGA one since I've been skipping out on those for the other series.
Brian: I completed the original TMNT in about 50 minutes. I forgot how painful controlling the jumps were! Without save states, it would have taken me a lot more patience. And about half-way through the game there's this stage where spiked walls close in on you and you must quickly navigate down three long platforms or else you die. That took me a couple attempts. Once again, thanks to save states I didn't have to worry about re-doing everything.
Oh yeah... and the record for Friday the 13th is a little less than 4 minutes. I remember the game being insanely difficult but I've seen the winning strategy. I know I can probably beat it within 20 minutes at least (probably a lot of re-tries). The strategy allows you to get the torch (best weapon against Jason) as early as possible. Then you have to defeat Jason three times.
