Moviefan2k4:
To this day, I have never beaten the original "Metroid" without using a cheat password.

kaysow:
got to the final parts of castlevania, red alert 2, parappa the rapper & sonic spinball. prolly tons more. faxanadu i just couldn't figure out how to proceed which shouldn't be a problem today.

EDIT: also just got ninja gaiden (nes) and had a session with it. made it to like the fifth or sixth boss, got sent back all the way to the beginning of the stage and gave up for the moment.

last year i finally played through all of super mario bros without warps for the first time. should do smb3 as well, i remember never making it past a certain late world-7 stage. also beat megaman 1 whereas the clay dude (wily stage 1) used to end me.

Oh man, Parappa the Rappa. What a joypad throwing frustrating bitch of a game. I played the hell out of it, and think I only ever got to about the 4th song.

So many games I didn't get finished, one that springs to mind is Jet Set Willy on the Spectrum. Got close a few times - and did it with cheats (pokes back then) in the end.

kaysow:
parappa the rapper is weird because i can do expert dragonforce on guitar hero but i can't fathom what constitutes a hit or miss in that game. keep failing for no real reason. in unjammer lammy i can't even make it past the first stage.

The clay dude was a pain. I managed to beat him this time without the select / pause trick.

I still found the hardest part was having to beat Bomb Man, Fire Man, Ice Man, and Guts Man with one energy meter.
