“The good news is that we are halfway to making a true NerveGear. The bad news is that so far, I have only figured out the half that kills you,”
One of my most favorite cherished childhood memories was going to this pizza place with these 2 brothers and they spent the entire car ride talking about Battle Toads. Then we got there, headed for the arcade, and in like seven minutes they were out of quarters. Fuckin' Battle Toads just deflated those two boys. Poor guys. Still laugh about it.
I played it with my sister on the NES and got to the speeder bike stage I think before hitting a wall. I tried playing it on a rom a few years back and couldn't get past the first stage.
I think it's Battletoads where one of the levels is legitimately impossible on co-op mode
yeah clinger winger is impossible due to a glitch lol
It's also almost impossible to do solo, the bosses are tuned for two players for the most part.
Those old games were brutal. Battle Toads, Contra, Double Dragon, fuckin' Bubble Bobble.
I'm not sure it's possible to beat Contra without the extra lives cheat code.
There are spots where you can lay down, keep shooting, and build up points and extra lives from those points from enemy respawns.
