Old School vs. New

LOL - I loved the original Mario game on the console since you could not save it. It took me almost a hundred times before I was able to finally finish it from start to finish.

Believe it or not, I never beat it. Got frustrated after making it to the last level like 20 times & getting cheap kills.

To this very day I was never able to defeat Bowser. I got to him but it was always on my last man.

Ghosts and Goblins was another one I couldn't get very far on. I still have that music playing in my head.

Yeah, kids today have no ideal what its like to have to sit and "beat a game" in one shot. Games i remeber beating:
Contra
all 3 marios
snakes revenge... but it did have save points
megaman 1-4
... I can't remember many more. I think i have gotten close on some other games, but that was a long time ago.

forgot about super contra. I hated those puffy things at the end that came at you. That last part in marble madness was such a pain with the floor all moving around. Sadly i never played Metroid. I did beat the super Nintendo version.

i remember playing mario 2 or 3 all in one sitting with a buddy...we had to keep the system on all weekend and it was burning up...we were freaking at the end trying to win before the system melted. lol ...not smart enough to put a fan on it. we were also hoping for no storms/power outages. haha!

ah yes.. tape over the power light so my parents wouldn't see that it was on all night.

If I remember correctly, I could beat 2 in a couple hours. 3 didn't take much longer. Of course, that's using warps.

hmm, well I'm almost 40 and I love save points, having to do something over and over again is extremely tedious and frustrating

Oh don't get me wrong.. save points are great. Just kids today can't seem to live with out them.
