For Sega, Toejam and Earl was a fun game -- it went forever but man it was fun to play with a buddy, cousin, or brother.

For Nintendo, Snow Brothers was my favorite!

Had a super baseball 2020 tourney with my friends a few years ago. I went undefeated and won the tourney. Now, that is a fun baseball game.

A year or two, my buddies and I busted out Super Mario 64 and decided to see how quickly we could beat it. I forget what the exact time was, but I wanna say somewhere around 10 hours...and that's all 120 stars and and beating final Bowser. It would have been quicker but one of them spent too much time trying to beat the huge ass Penguin on the slide on the snow level.

My favorite NES game of all time was a tie between "THE ORIGINAL" Final Fantasy and Dragon Warrior. Super Dodge ball did kiss ass though. So did River City Ransom.

Not sure, never had a 64, you tell me. lol. But the skill (if real) is pretty incredible. Reminds me of the World Record Mario 3 Speed run. Still blows me mind. (and lol yeah I think both cases are Japanese people.)

After watching the vid, I can def see where he uses in game glitches to his advantage (back jumping through walls, etc...). Having not played the game, I dont know how this effects the game, but I would guess he skips some levels/stars.

I watched some of the video (and I had heard of it before). Guy is just a joke, glitching his way through it.

Put it this way...you need eight stars to fight Bowser the first time, 30 to fight him the second time, and I think 50-60 to take him on the end (not sure on this number, actually) So yes he cheats with glitches.

First time I beat Tyson was by decision, which was supposed to be impossible.

Then I find out that 5,000 points will do it, which means I absolutely destroyed the SOB without getting three knockdowns in a round.

If Contra is you favorite game, at least get the code right or at least something closer than that.

up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, b, a, select, start
