Clap clap. Can't be bothered myself, got a stack of unplayed stuff and I had my fill. Stuff was basically getting to the point where it was the same but wickedly tough, I'd already got to see all the ideas, which was nice of them to do.

It's something I want to do, but I ike the fact that they introduce very little to the game rather than pushing the mechanics to their logical extremes, so I don't feel i've missed out on content, but there is still something to come back to. Typical Ninty.

Haha. That was my first pick as well. Used to drive me daft as a young fella.

Actually......

this is a hard level but I got to the point where I could 1CC past this level and the next couple. You will also notice that at 6:50 of this video there is a warp gate that opens up taking you either to the next level or the one after - can't remember. I only used it once in a while as the next level (think its the ice world) is quite fun.

I always got to the level in which you had to climb up a tower and fight a boss at the top - I could get to the top - though it was tortuous - lots of springboard jumps and enemies to fight - but the boss was a complete bastard who just soaked up the punishment - no idea even how close I was to beating him....

But ..... imagine trying to play this in 2 player mode? It is 2 player simultaneous and collisions between players is on!!! We could never get by level 2 because my mates were pretty naff at this.

The SNES game wasn't as hard but still pretty tough (but I never finished that either! I got the level where you race an enemy to a bomb to defuse it before he sets it off - never completed it.)

In the SNES version you can switch collisions off which makes it a bit easier - but again - never got past level 2 in 2 player mode...get this ....in both versions - if one player gets a game over it is game over for BOTH OF YOU!. You go to a continue screen and the losing player starts with full lives - but the other player continues with his health bar and lives as they where - it was a nightmare once players got out of synch.

Having said all of this we had a hoot with this in 2 player mode - gotta love the belly attacks by those pigs in pink mankinis in level 1 of the SNES version. With collisions set to on, level 1 degenerated into a basic fighting game - once you got the other guy down you could pick him up and throw him off the level into the lava....we were easily entertained in the early 90s....

Davy, Haak, Nick. No idea which game you guys are talking about, vid not showing on iPhone. No one has mentioned game name either I think.

Ah right. Never played it but heard its tough.

At least that's reassuring about Call of Juarez. I only barely started it,worried that it was going to be horrendous and haven't had a chance to be back since!

Game genie maybe?

Actually, Pie's just reminded me of another one.

Streets of Rage 3. Me and my brother must have completed that dozens of times over the years, but we have never even come close to beating that bloody robot at the end before the time limit expires. Every time we hit the damn thing it falls over and we have to wait for it to get back up before we can do anything.

@davyK What do you mean you can turn the collisions off? You must be talking about a cheat or something because there's definately no option to do that in the Snes version, and if it was a cheat, i'm pretty sure I would have known about it? Me and my brother played it so much we could do the speeder bike level but we never got past the other level I posted above, yeah, coop was ridiculous.

It was the best game ever.

edit: a quick google search indicates there was no 'turn off collisions' cheat.

It wasn't a cheat I was referring to ....re-reading my post I can see how the confusion arose though....

2 player A has collisions on between players (i.e. you can hit each other), 2 player B has collision detection between players switched off (i.e. you can't hit each other). That's all I meant. 2 player A is FAR harder - though a lot funnier if you aren't too fussed trying to progress beyond level 2...

Only found out recently that the Megadrive got a remake of the NES original - seems pretty much an exact copy to me but "feels" easier than the original - on first playthrough I got straight to level 3, and the music on the NES version is preferable.

If we're talking about stress, I'd say our last Moxxi run on Blands 1. That countdown, waiting to hear if reg got the cheeve. Fuck.

Agreed. Genuine tension right there.

Ahh, sorry, yeah know what you're talking about now. It did make a huge difference and yeah was much more fun (and way way harder) when you could punch each other.

Hexcells Infinite 6-5

I'm struggling to think of anything. It doesn't help I can't remember what I played all last year or year before that.
