I was able to get through the swimming part, but the next part where you drive around in the van and go through sewers was complete bullshit. It always would time me out. Fuck that game.

Yeah same part for me. It's horseshit and it's basically a labyrinth. 

They made it right with the sequels though.

That is awesome. I'm going to start using that term around the office.

Ocarina of Time.

I was awful at the NES games, and still am.

Ever seen any of the speed runs?

I might have been Legend if Zelda. That was a unique one because there was no internet. To learn all the little tricks it was word of mouth around school.

Yep, same here. I think Mike Tyson's Punch Out was shortly after that.

My brother and I came up with "Nintendotude". That occurred often in platforming games like Double Dragon when you missed a jump on one of those blocks that popped out of the wall and then you hurled the controller and said a swear word.

Good question. I don't really remember but it may have been Super Mario Bros.

That and having the Nintendo Power magazine helped.

That was Nintendo 64. Great game though.

I know. I'm saying I couldn't beat any of the NES games, so the first game I actually beat wasn't until N64.

Only went back to beat SNES games as a teenager.

Never could beat Tyson
