    @backstander

    The first game was actually only released on the Famicom, leading to much confusion outside the land of the rising sun about what the second game was supposed to represent. The cover art was so specific, utilizing actor likenesses from the movie that many believed it was somehow a forerunner to a theatrical sequel in the works. Eventually, I think a lot of people settled on the idea that it was just meant to be a companion piece for the 1985 movie.

    Although we had a few PlayChoice-10 machines scattered across my town, 'The Goonies' was never one of the available titles at the time. Many years later, I was at a bowling ally and decided to throw a few quarters in one and I happened to see it listed. I had long since accepted 'Goonies II' as being the only Nintendo game based on the movie and just assumed the "II" had been somehow left off the title screen. So, I was very surprised to find myself playing a prequel to one of my all-time favorite games. I do really like the arcade simplicity and straight forward play mechanics of the first game, but it's never been able to capture my interest like it's followup.

              Ha! @lilbud , thanks for digging this topic. :-)
              I posted above that I didn't beat Little Nemo but I managed to beat it a few weeks ago.

              Well I think the next f*@$&ing hard game I'll try to beat will be Ninja Gaiden 1, 2 and 3. Actually I finished the 1, but using save states compulsively. Then it doesn't count.

                      @lilbud with "using save states compulsively" I mean "saving after every hit I give on the last boss and loading if I die". This doesn't count. Saving the state to continue later is acceptable :-)

                          @lilbud I remember the first computer I ever bought, It was a windows 95 machine and the first game i bought for it was Tomb Raider in 1996. That game was so awesome, it was next level in terms of graphics and game play, but at the time it was so hard! I remember doing puzzles where you had to jump from platform to platform, every jump i would make it across would save state, every animal I would kill, save state. Those were the days!

                            Tomb raider 1 was awesome. It did have some great weapon cheats that helped!

                              The first computer I ever used was XP. By the time I could speak, the Gamecube was out.

                              On save states. I usually save after levels or at checkpoints

                                Btw, when you completed all of the three first Crash Bandicoot's, did you also felt, that the first one was the hardests and the third was the easiest ?

                                  @dd-indeed Probably the opposite. 1 was the easiest and 3 was the hardest.

                                  The driving controls do not age well, especially the motorcycle levels. Including that one with all the sharp turns and pits.

                                      Yea, those are bit difficult, way too stiff and sideway slide all over.

                                      But I find it strange, that you concider the first one the easiest. I've always thought, that the first game has much stiffer controls when comparing to 2 and 3. And it's much more challenging, it's there to take out your life in every single obstacle haha. I've never made it past couple levels. It's the first 3D platformer from Naughty Dog in a era, where they were one of the pioneers for 3D platform games, so obviosly it has rough edges and badly balanced levels. 2 and 3 are piece of cake for me, completed them both couple times and I can play the 3rd game through in couple hours with ease.

                                        @dd-indeed I'm usually really good at platformers. The driving and animal levels are what trip me up. I'm watching my brother play Super Mario World for the first time, he is not good at platformers, he keeps dying on Lemmy's Castle

                                          Well SMW is child's play for me, I played it as a kid and still play, so maybe it's also about, that what have you used to play from early years. But yea, I dunno, it's strange, that you concider Crash 1 easy and for me, it's just too much of a challenge. I'm very sensitive to bad response and stiff controls, those put me out from the game very quickly. And Crash 1 is stiff game, but some people like you, can play it with ease.
