Didn't think SGC Kickstarter would meet it's goal. Punish me by suggesting 1 blog topic that I will have to write about between now and the start of SGC 3.

On my quest to beat 100 games in 1 year, I beat five games from one of my favorite series and one I believe deserves much more love from the gaming community.
Atsinganoi: Now that you've explained it, I do vaguely remember that "not techinically a cheat".
Yeah, for the continues, I think it was more of a "rule I'm going to try to follow", like I know I did for the Nija Gaiden trilogy, but it's not something I would consider that would invalidate the spirit of what I'm doing. I agree with what you say about the unlimited continues. It's the reason I've refused cheats for this. I want to beat the games as legitimately as possible. Obviously, I have used continues or passwords for a few games, but these were games that allowed you to save (Faxanadu, Mega Man, etc).

Jyaku: Ok, I figured the lack of the games was the case for them not being 'reviewed' as it were. I haven't read any of your other blogs, this one being about Adventure Island (not a game I hear a lot about) is what drew me too it.
With the Bee, it's not really a cheat. I remember they mentioned it in the manual I think, or Nintendo Power I can't remember, too many moons ago. The game is still Difficult as fuck with it, I've never beaten it myself but I doubt I would come close without the bee. If you decide to go back and play the game (for what ever reason), It's located right on the tip of the final platform right before the end of the first level (1-1), just jump right on the edge and the egg will show up.
One final note, about continues in these games. I can understand not using them if the game gave you unlimited, but if you get like 3 I'd use them all.

Atsinganoi: I don't own any of the SNES games, so no.
Also, I'm assuming you haven't seen my previous blogs, or at least the first couple, but this was all part of my goal of beating 100 games in 1 year, and well, I've already beaten 100, so I can assure you no SNES Adventure Islands will be there; however, once I finish posting all the way to 100, I'm already planning on simply continuing and reveiwing every game I've beaten since starting the challenge. In other words, if I get my hands on them and beat them, they'll be here, but not for a while.
Finally, I believe I stated in the intro to all this (which I haven't posted to NewAttack) that, and if i didn't it has always been a rule I've followed, I would beat all the games without cheats, codes, or continues (I'm not 100% on continues, but it's been the case so far anyway). As a result, the Hudson Bee thing you mention is the first I've heard of it. I suppose it should mitigate my criticism of the "no continues+difficult as fuck" criticism, so thanks :)

Jyaku: Are you planing on doing the SNES Adventure island games as well at some point? Also, you mention the no continues in the first one, but left out the hudson bee thing. If you hold.... I think it was left and hit start after you've died, you return to the start of the last 'world' you where in (Die at 2-4 return to 2-1)
Alpha Unit: Nice reviews. Checked out 1MoreCastle, not too bad. Hope it goes well with your kids.

I'll finally be posting some blogs again soon...probably. I've got a good reason for my absence, which I'll likely explain in my next blog.
Atsinganoi: Maybe eventually, but not anytime soon. I don't even know if I still have the draft of that one. I'll have to look.
Whitly: Is it gonna be that Pikmin 2 blog you discussed on Twitter earlier?

My Arguement is still Valid... LIKE A BOSS....
Atsinganoi: i see you're at 13, so 20% less valid than before. Soon, your entire argument will be invalid.

Back in the day, it might have seemed like Capcom could do no wrong. They definitely had a pretty great average, batting way over .500 if you will. Well, I beat 5 more of their games. So let's see how they fared.
Digmbot: Duck Tales. So freakin awesome.
Atsinganoi: Haven't watched Tale Spin or Rescue Rangers in ages, but I watched all the Duck Tales epodes again in the last year and it has aged very well. I was quite surprised.
Baleoce: Rescue Rangers and Duck Tales. So damn good.
MegaSilverX1: Mega Man 6 is one of my favorite MM games. I got Rescue Rangers a few days ago and you're right it's an awesome game, 2 player is so fun.
Alpha Unit: You're reminding of TV shows I have not watched in a long time.

Find out why I think FaceAttack is a horrible piece of shit!
6ix1337: Nice, very nice.
Unholy_one: hahaha well played sir. :)
frankhaggar972: Good job dude :)
Monderetro: Actually, I took it seriously...at least at first.
Atsinganoi: Damnit! How could I have forgotten Duck Faces?! Well, they're now an honorary #6. I honestly believe Duck Faces would have pushed FaceAttack over the top and made it the greatest website possible for all time.

Some games are considered classics, but not all deserve the title. On my way to beating 100 games in 1 year, I beat five of these "classic" games that I believe are undeserving of the name.
Atsinganoi: Thanks! I've been reposting these, with some minor adjustments here and there, so I can finally finish up to 100.
Whitly: I see you polished up this piece from V4. Looks good, if I may say so myself...
Atsinganoi: Like I said, Nemo isn't a bad game, and like you said, when it comes to Capcom, Mega Man 2, Duck Tales, and Rescue Rangers hold a special place likely because I grew up with them. Nostalgia is powerful.
Also, I do consider myself pretty retro-centered (if you check some previous and many of the upcoming posts, this should be confirmed), but I still never liked the 3 out of these 5 games I did play as a kid (played, but not owned...I had friends who owned them).

CatholicPat: Y U No leik fun?!?!?!
I do think a lot of the high scores for games like Nemo are partly nostalgia. Unless you grew up the game, or are so retro-centered (such as myself) it's harder to appreciate it for what it is. Sure it's not as good as Mega-Man, but does have that Capcom polish.
Jackal is just mindless fun for me. Sometimes I need a game that I don't really need to think at and just shoot, Meh.
Double Dragon I totally see your point. It was one of the first side-scrolling beatem'-ups. So, like the very first Street Fighter, it figures it's not gonna age that well as the squeals.
River City Ransom...I don't know...I still think it holds up well....but that's cause I never played it with badass skills I didn't know I had.
Punch-Out!! I still can't beat Tyson so NO!!!!
