Lots of people were able to beat this game, Anon.
Just cuz you can't doesn't mean it's a bad game.

>>5276178

I beat Sonic 1 perfectly once back in the day. You just need patience. 300 attempts? Nah, more like 10 x 3 lives per continue. So 30. That probably took a good day or two all added up.

Proof? Autism doesnt mean you beat it.

Normal people dont have photographic autism memories.

I rented it out and finished it in 2 days.

Lying.

Beat it again as adult now.

>>5276178
There's not a legimate video out there with anyone beating this fucking game. Certainly no adults.

Toolkits are shit and don't count.

>>5276189
>Proof? Autism doesnt mean you beat it.
I don't have proof, but getting a perfect on Sonic 1 shouldn't be too hard except for those damn bonus zones, which are cool, but falling sucks. Frankly, beating Sonic 1 perfectly or not is such a show of medium skill at best, I see little reason to devote time to it. Instead I'm going to beat the fuck out of Zelda II and back it with evidence.

>>5276189
>Normal people dont have photographic autism memories.
Oh and I am not normal in the memory dept. in everything and including video games. Now Ninja Gaiden? That took months back in the day.

>>5276213
>There's not a legimate video out there with anyone beating this fucking game
So if I filmed myself beating it (not a direct capture) you'd believe it? Also I doubt that no one has done that or shown that thus far.

>>5276178
You know i heard recently that some younger people wanted to get into retro games but after playing them they said they were to hard. I guess for me these games were fun because they were hard. It was the challenge of beating them that made them that way. Looking at many of the modern games I play I see a pattern that they give you a lot to do in the game but none of it is really what you could describe as hard in many titles.

Sonic 1 is the best Sonic game.

Grrr do it

Guys OP is joking.

I don't know which is worse, trolls like OP or guys that say anyone can beat SMB without warps or LoZ without a guide in 2 days or they're "literally retarded".

>>5276278
No he isn't. Those games are easier.

>>5276267
Zelda II first. Sonic another day. I did say perfectly for Sonic which means all the emeralds, but it's totally doable. It'll probably take adult me a couple of days or more to git gud. Being conservative with my estimates.

All right, it's almost noon here, I better start on Zelda II soon. I can beat that much easier and have in recent years.

>>5276278
>or guys that say anyone can beat SMB without warps
That's been done to death. And, not that you'd believe it, Donkey Kong can be found in the game if you beat the game without using warps OR shortcuts 360 times in a row. Now that one has not been done in years, but one of the big video game magazines from back in the day wrote an article on it. So many things are lost and forgotten in older video games through their sheer difficultly and cryptic nature.

Another one: There's a code that you have to input so fast that most refuse to believes it's real, but there is a code that allows you to play as Superman in Bad Dudes for the NES.

>>5276178
Ninja Gaiden.
Though I don't know which of the 3 is the hardest on NES.

One of my favorite memories is beating this game with every Emerald achieved. I never did as well in Sonic 2. But Sonic 1 is the true template for a Sonic game. All the extra characters, and total bullshit they tried to put in the new sonics I don't consider canon.

>>5276178

GTFO

80 percent of players died that much.

>>5276178
Sonic 2 is the game you're thinking of. Get your shit opinions that you cribbed from e-celebs straight.

>>5276178
What are you using the controller with your mouth?

>>5277293
I play video games with my eyelashes. Get on my level.

>>5277293
There's no room in OP's mouth with all those dicks crammed in there already.
In fact you'll scarcely find an orifice on OP's body that isn't already packed to capacity with manmeat
>>5276178
The last underwater zone is dicey but everything else is cake you raging douchebagnik. It was easy when I was a lad in the early 90's, and it's still easy for me now, just like yer mum
gb2/v/ OP

sonic games are easy as piss the fuck are you talking about

>>5276178
I beat this game when I was six, me thinks you just smell oppy.

bullet hell / shmups are the true autismo choices. Go look up touhou bosses on yt and tell me I'm wrong. To beat those games you need to be either:

a) asian
b) a twin turbo autismo type R

are you joking OP?

>>5276178
The fuck you talking about OP. My mom beat that game the day we got it.

>>5276189
>Having a good memory or simply honing your memorization skills being derided as somehow undesirable

I... I don’t know what to say to this.

>>5276408
Ninja Gaiden is pretty easy until world 5, then fairly easy until the nightmare of world 6. Then it just gets ridiculous.

>>5277621
>a twin turbo autismo type R
fuck, I'm only a twin turbo autismo type Q

>>5276267

>>5276267
The hardest thing about the run was having to start all over when I lost all my lives. The game is harder than I remember and I used to be able to have more keys at the end than one, but I got sloppy. Thankfully Nintendo mercifully allowed one to continue at the last palace if one lose all their lives. Getting through the dark zone was tough, but just took 3 attempts. It was down to the wire getting to that palace. And I feel ragged, but I did it.

>>5276267

The whole time playing I was just praying for a stable NES and cartridge relationship.

You know, getting the hammer without the candle can probably be considered self-harm.

The TV is from April 1980 according to the factory sticker on the back. It's a "Sampo" and it looks great in person, as pictures come out like crap. Yeah, I need to look into better visual/video solutions. Oh and the previous saves held for years; I've never opened it, but it may have had its battery changed, or maybe not. There's some freaky long-lived batteries out there.

Moments playing Zelda II today that felt like it took years off my life:

>1: The phantom boss nearly killed me on my last guy, and his level is not one I want to replay soon.
>2: Nintendo had a lot of guts calling something "continue" when it almost always made you start over at the beginning and having you trek a while just to get back to the point you died and learn from it.
>3: The Magical Key was put into the game to make it more fun, clearly.
>4: Having to rely on fairy power more than ever due to not having the Candle, Cross, and especially the Key makes the experience more like Ocarina of Time in a way.
>5: This proves that the game is far more fair than most believe and that collecting all the items is a normie run.

>>5276178
Sonic 1 was my first video game and I've beaten it many times on actual Genesis hardware.

It's not as hard as you think, it's just more about pinball physics than "gotta go fast" contrary to popular belief. Avoid using the shoe item that makes you go fast unless you're speedrunning; it makes the game a lot harder. Take your time when you need to. When you're moving fast, do a quarter-circle down on the d-pad to roll into a ball so that you kill enemies you run into instead of losing rings. Don't sweat it if you lose rings, just recollect what you can before they disappear and move on. When you get damaged you have invincibility frames (sonic starts blinking), but in the first version of Sonic spikes ignore that.

Sonic 1 is the hardest of the Genesis trilogy but that isn't saying much. Sonic 2 is a pretty easy game outside of the last boss, which is only challenging because you can jump right through him and die if you're not careful. Sonic 3 & Knuckles throws so many lives at you that I think it's basically impossible to get a game over. Both also allow you to get Super Sonic very early, which turns the game into a joke.

Sonic 1 has the whole drowning thing and scrap brain is definitely the hardest platforming in the series. But it's also a fairly short game that is generous with the lives.

It occurred to me a few years ago that I couldn't be sure that I'd ever beaten Sonic 1, so I went and did it. I beat it on my first try with a lot of lives to spare, and I've since done it a couple more times because I enjoyed it a fair bit. I think Sonic 2 is still the better game, but the fact that Sonic 1 actually puts up a fight gives it points in my book.

>>5276178
being bad at video games doesn't mean people who are decent/good are autists. My dad finished it no problem, and he's not into video games in general.

>>5276189
>demanding proof that people beat fucking Sonic 1 of all games
Holy shit, just jump into a pit and never come out again

>>5277951
I actually disagree with this. I found Sonic 1 to be the easiest out of the trilogy and Sonic 2 to be the hardest. I'm going by getting the perfect endings though.

>>5277725
he have a damaged canabis brain, and an attention span at dory's level... must be a millenial...

Nice job on Zelda II!--said no one. :(

Did anyone else feel like the difficulty curve was way off in these games?

>1st zone is easy
>2nd zone is always the most frustrating
>every other zone up to the last one is also pretty easy

Marble Zone/Chemical Plant/Hydro City each took me a while to get through but once I did I could finish the rest of the game no problem

>>5276256

>>5276178
I almost feel like beating this just to prove you're a dingus.

>>5278947
Do eet

>>5278947
Do it with a live recording on the real hardware or you're a filthy cheater.

>>5279015
Why do people think that live recordings can't be faked?

>>5279024
You're right, no matter if you record it you haven't beaten Sonic 1.

You need an authority, like Twin Galaxies and witnesses (who are filmed as well) viewing the insides of the cartridges and the consoles-including the controllers, anything less can be faked. It's possible anyway to cheat at gaming at various levels of skill ranging from the mildly clever to downright magician-like. As it stands, I'd say at least half of the stuff on Youtube is fake is some fashion.

There's one guy who is very, very popular, but now and then I swear he's cheating, but I'm not 100% sure, so I'll keep it to myself, but..

I think you mean it can't be proven definitely anymore through a video to verify a video game score. There's just too much that someone could do to give them an extra edge:

>doctored ROMs inside a chip on a game
>same for the console
>their controller may be modified to send secret commands

I like sowing doubt in scores because of so many YT cheaters.

>>5278497
Even based on this, Sonic 2 gives you about a million chances to get the emeralds. You can get all of them in the first level. Sonic 3 is a bit harder because you have to find the super rings but you still get multiple chances per act. Sonic 1 gives you one try per act and you don't get super Sonic, so the main game isn't trivialized.

You underestimate the level of overestimating people will place a game on the achievement totem pole.

>>5280505
You underestimate the underestimation of underestimated understatement understate that is underestated.

Nobody ever beat most retro games pre polygons.

Congrats on the successful bait, OP. Proud of you.

You can't just blame everything on autism. You spend too much time in /v/.

>>5280560
This but unironically. Beating games is for losers.

>>5276408
Probably 3. But if you want a real challenge, try playing the PAL version of Ninja Gaiden 2 (Shadow Warriors 2) on an NTSC NES, it runs 17-ish% faster and the music sounds cooler at this speed imo. I played it this way as a kid and beat it without knowing it was fucked up, now whenever I hear the music it's too slow.

>>5276434
Your post is a good example of the nadir of intelligence this board represents.

Agreed. Everyone knows Sonic CD is the gold standard.

>>5276408
ninja gaiden is autism in the sense that it's a memory-game. got to the point where i could beat the 2nd on one continue. usa-version 3 is the hardest
>>5280754

I hope microsoft's accessibility-gamepad will be compatible for pc, maybe that will help you.
