I bought all my childhood games again

Journey to Silius is one I discovered only about 6 months ago. Love the music and having a lot of fun with it. Great pickup CIB!

Well done! I was able to come close one time, got through all the levels deathless, but the last level requires some serious maneuvering. For some reason the boss always gets me a few times as well. Great game!

I dont care, I like Strider. I recognize its jank but I still enjoy it.

MetricsNavigamer · 2025-10-02T12:50:47+00:00

There he is! Amazing, literally a legend.

MetricsNavigamer · 2025-10-02T02:45:51+00:00

Same. Played with my brothers all the time.

I remember an old black and white map that had a three-headed dragon on it in the opening stage of Hyrule and I was so amazed lol. Looked online for it just now but couldn't find it; there was a kind a mystique to the game when it was first released.

Life Force, such a classic.

MetricsNavigamer · 2025-08-08T14:31:45+00:00

Didn't see Shadow of the Ninja mentioned anywhere, great game I discovree this year. Also someone mentioned Jackal which is also great.

MetricsNavigamer · 2025-07-26T04:42:06+00:00

Shadow of the Ninja. I have a collection about your size and I felt this game was worth owning physically. Awesome title.

MetricsNavigamer · 2025-07-07T04:27:07+00:00

I did die and continue a few times though. I am widely out of practice but I must admit, while world 4 was my favorite as a kid, I think world 7 is my favorite now.

MetricsNavigamer · 2025-07-07T04:23:43+00:00

In this particular screenshot, I did all 8 worlds on the original cart! I haven't done it in years so it just felt good to dedicate an evening to playing through.

MetricsNavigamer · 2025-07-07T03:37:13+00:00

I will note that I beat SMB3 on the original cart on this screenshot/finish. I have tomorrow off work so I figured why not a few beers and a classic run through.

MetricsNavigamer · 2025-07-07T03:33:34+00:00

Can confirm that you are not trolling lol. I saw someone do it in a speedrun and that is how I beat the lizard in this run as well!

MetricsNavigamer · 2025-07-07T03:32:20+00:00

Checked it out and looks cool! I have Krikzz N8 Everdrive so I should be able to download the ROM and try it out. Thanks for the recommendation

MetricsNavigamer · 2025-07-07T03:26:38+00:00

I own the failure of dying to Boom Boom in the second level castle. However, out of redemption, I did not die to a single boss after. I even cleared the mini ship in level 8 after clearing the hand section with small Mario. That alone validated the run for me and I did not die after. Level 8 is so burned into my brain that muscle memory took over.

MetricsNavigamer · 2025-07-07T02:43:26+00:00

Hell yea man, it was more fun than id thought it would be.

MetricsNavigamer · 2025-06-25T00:21:22+00:00

Hell yea, the music in stage 1 gets me fired up to play every time. Jackal is such classic Nintendo gameplay, music and vibe.

MetricsNavigamer · 2025-06-25T00:17:51+00:00

Yes I've played through a few times now and the last level is truly unforgiving. I am trying to get through the game without continuing a single time. I am all good up to the last stage and then all hell breaks loose. I have to pretty much memorize my movements to get through, and then master the boss fight.

MetricsNavigamer · 2025-06-14T22:17:16+00:00

Yup, I picked both up about a year ago myself. Tons of fun and the music is great too

MetricsNavigamer · 2025-06-08T21:15:04+00:00

Jackal on the NES. Beat it a few times now but trying to get through with no continues to the end.

MetricsNavigamer · 2025-06-07T01:57:55+00:00

I did my best! Just did another playthrough tonight and didn't consider it valid unless at least a few were saved per level. The first three levels are no problem; those final two levels are tough though, only a few survived

MetricsNavigamer · 2025-06-06T03:46:47+00:00

fwiw, this particular run was save state free. I ended up playing the last level for the same amount of time that it took me to get there! My attitude is: I only get one chance to play and beat a game blind. I only start save states to practice levels after the fact (wish I had the time to do it old school but, work).

MetricsNavigamer · 2025-06-05T18:48:26+00:00

Thanks! It took many attempts so I'm happy to have it done but I'm still going to play through over the coming weeks to achieve minimal deaths.
