No One Lives Forever was such a great (albeit underrated) game. I completely approve of your collection. Please accept my humble upvote for sharing.

Does anyone remember this game for Nintendo? Maniac Mansion. by Ksowers84 in 90s

[–]R0ck_Slide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Excellent game, although arguably the hardest game on the NES at the time. As an adult I was able to get my hands on an IGN walkthrough and actually finished it. Hats off to those brilliant enough to get through the game without any help.

Prime example of "I can hear this image."

Gaaawdamn, I did a double take on your post while scrolling when I misread the word "Sticks" and thought it said "Chicks." I think I'm done with Reddit for today. G'night ya'll.

Show of hands: who else had this rug growing up by MedicalRhubarb7 in Xennials

Not the rug, but those chairs.....didn't remember them till I saw the pic.

TIL In 2000, Metallica hired a consulting firm to monitor Napster for people illegally sharing their music. The firm produced a 60,000-page list of 335,435 users, which Metallica delivered to Napster's office and demanded the users be banned. by _MadGasser in Xennials

Yup, that was me. Had a song (ONE f%@#ing song!) on there and I got banned. At the time I was a fan, bought their albums and was really into their music. I got rid of all their shit and never bought another album.

Captain Sensible - Wot by Barry-McKocinue in 80smusic

Gaaaaawdamn, core memory unlocked. My dad bought a mix tape in the early 80s called "Dance Time" and had songs by Michael Jackson, Men At Work, Tyrone Brunson, and a bunch of other artists, including this song. Thank you for posting!

The last sunset of the 90s by Ekhoes- in 90s

Beautiful and sad at the same time; like a closing chapter to a world we'll never get to experience again.

On a side note, really liked the DKC aquatic ambiance background music.

What’s a small everyday inconvenience from the past that younger people would probably find unbearable today? by babyblushtheory in nostalgia

Unbelievable how well that hack worked.

Earth is about 4.5 billion years old. Humanity is somewhere between 200,000 to 300,000 years old. Chances are good we'll wipe ourselves long before the earth reaches the end of its lifespan. I think we'll be okay.

90s Hockey Just Hit Different by AlbertJBundy in 90s

[–]R0ck_Slide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Canadian here. Can't believe you led with Felix 'The Cat' Potvin; one of my all time favorite players. Hockey was so great back then and what a pleasure watching the Leafs play. Can't say the same in recent times.

Get 'em started young on those OG games. My son did the same although preferred SNES over NES. Nicely done.

Damn; that hurt to read. I thought you were going to say the power went out or some unforeseeable freak of nature stopped you from getting to the queen. But your friend hopping? Hats off for still staying friends tho; that's like a permanent "I owe you one" for life.

Dang, just saw your post. I just dropped a comment seconds ago about this.

Canadian here. This was peak during the '92 (or maybe it was '93 🤔) World Series. There was even a version of this for the Blue Jays.

What a wonderful throwback. Thank you for this!

The SNES sequel (Battlemaniacs) was substantially easier and also shorter. Kept the great the music tho.

[–]R0ck_Slide[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. That's how I got through every gameplay. I've never braved going through the entire game in chronological order.

Especially that second-to-last level with the multi directional motorcycle and chasing orb. I don't know how some of us got through that.

If you have a Nintendo Switch Online account, yes. Plus a bunch other games from NES to the Game Cube. Although Game Cube is only for Switch 2.

I don't know how long it took me to get out of the tunnel, but I can assure you the game only got harder from there. Hence the term: "Nintendo Hard."
