/vr/ - Retro Games

I can easily beat SMB1, both quests with no warp zones, but I can't for the life of me manage to finish SMB2 (US) or SMB3. And don't even get me started on fucking Lost Levels

I have NEVER finished a retro JRPG other than Pokemon. The problem is I'll start one, but soon I'll get bored to tears, even with games I played as a kid. Generally what happens is I'll get to some cryptic puzzle that I can't solve, and instead of looking up a guide I'll just pause it and never pick it up again. Even Earthbound of all things couldn't keep me interested, I got up to that part where you explore the pyramid and decided I just didn't care anymore.

My first ever exposure to Donkey Kong Country was the remake (demake?) on Game Boy Color that most people don't even realize exists. Pic related. I played the SNES version, and to my surprise it seems this version is a pretty accurate port for such a tiny screen.
