DefaultGen | 5,730 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 (edited) Motor City Patrol is done All you need to do in this game is collect the 16 items on each map then wait out the timer, since this essentially resets your lives every day. Patrolling criminals is an extremely exhausting waste of time. You can't game over in a single day, even if every criminal escapes. This makes the game much faster to complete too since you don't have to keep bringing up the map. This game shouldn't be a stick in the mud, it's a freebie. I beat it in 2 minute spurts over 3-4 hours while multitasking, the vast majority being dead time waiting for the timer to run out.

nerdynebraskan | 356 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 (edited) Wow! Klash Ball and Motor City Patrol falling in the same half-hour in January is actually pretty phenomenal. I would've guessed that both of those would have been in the last 100. @DefaultGen's strategy notes are pretty interesting, too.

guitarzombie | 938 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 What are the other biggies left? I know Ikari Warriors is one of them. If that goes, I'll def do Mutant Virus. I'll probably also do Ultimate Air Combat as it wasn't super hard (until the very end) but its LONG. At least there are passwords. I've been thinking about doing Dynatron City next. I've beaten it before but remember hardly anything about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikari Warriors and Mutant Virus definitely seem to be in most folks' Top 10 lists for NES difficulty. Arkanoid, Bases Loaded I/II/4, Championship Pool, Dragon Power, High Speed, Kung Fu Heroes, Silkworm, Sky Kid, and Starship Hector all seem to be pretty daunting for one reason or another. And honestly any other game with 4+ pain points on it should be a pretty good clue... except for Little Ninja Brothers. Is that one just too long for most people? I like that one, and might replay it this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never played this game before but I'm going to shortlist it for my personal list if it's that easy... I figured it out while trying to calculate the minimum amount of criminals I actually had to catch because there was no way I was going to sit through that game catching all the speeders. The answer was zero (plus a few to repair the car at your leisure). I actually did end up catching every named criminal just for the cash, which isn't hard when you don't have to focus on the rest of the game, so don't quote me that losing in one day is impossible.

This is incredibly good news because I've tried the intended method and it is a slog, plus quite difficult. I'd definitely like to knock this one out using this strategy, it's haunted me for a while after a few attempts. It was on my list to try to beat this year.

NESfiend | 1,564 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 NES Open is done. Been a fun few evenings. Highlights included an albatross where I holed it out from 250, a hole in one, and 3 scores of 59. My last 59 wasnt good enough for first place though. CPU scores get stupid when you get to 800k or so, but -15 is the craziest Ive seen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khromak | 837 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Lolo 3 is done. I had to look up hints for a couple levels and the solution for the final level (it's insane no human could figure that out), but overall did better than most years in terms of spoilers. The game is very tough, bordering on the line of unfun for a couple levels. I prefer the earlier games, but this one is still good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crabmaster2000 | 532 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Can also back up @DefaultGen that Motor City Patrol isn't something to be scared of. You basically just have to keep driving in a circle on each map for nearly 4 hours to beat it. The monotony of just how boring it is is the only challenge. Don't ever fire your gun because you can lose very fast if you hit a civilian instead of your intended target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a couple levels that drove me insane when I played and when I looked up solutions, I would have never figured out. I love the first two but three is just too tough in some spots.

I like that one, and might replay it this year. Ikari is definitely the hardest NES game I've beaten, even with glitches. Although, I never even managed to beat Sky Kid when I tried a few years ago. I put 5+ hours into it and still didn't feel like I was that close. Kung Fu Heroes isn't bad, because it's very short - you just need a bunch of attempts to get a lucky run. Little Ninja Bros is an rpg, a longer game, and a rarer game. All those things are working against it. Yesterday was another good day for us, with Motor City Patrol, Klashball, and NES Open all going down! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaMan52 | 2,601 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 (edited) Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters is complete. Normally I would play it on the NES, but decided to play it in TMNT: The Cowabunga Collection because it's been a little while since I've used the Switch. I did not use save states or the rewind feature (I've played through this game many times, and knew I could play through it again on the Switch). Also, I played it on hard difficulty because that is the only way to see the credits. Edited January 30 by MegaMan52 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strikezone1 | 157 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 I have been working on Kid Icarus and am close to beating it. Just gotta map out and get through the final labyrinth and beat the final level. Will hopefully find the time to do that in the next couple days.

Khromak | 837 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Solstice is done. I normally really enjoy this game, but this time I was following a different guide and it had terrible advice for the last puzzle so I spent almost an hour trying to do his shitty strategy before I looked up another guide with much better advice. Guess I probably could've figured it out myself, but the isometric angle makes it hard to tell what you can and can't do. That last part is my review of the game too: I love the graphics and sound, the controls are tight, and the mechanics are fun, but the isometric angle that makes it so memorable also makes it really frustrating at points 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefaultGen | 5,730 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 (edited) I'm working on Battle Tank. I'm not sure if this game has serious roadblocks or just no one ever wants to play poor Garry Kitchen's game with 2 lives. This game isn't even mediocre, this game is actually fun.
