It's weird how games seemed easier when we were younger... I started playing some Sonic games on the Genesis the other day...and I sucked it up, I don't know how I was able to beat things so easily as a kid.

I still don't know how I got to Shredder in the original TMNT when I was 12 years old... I tried playing that game again and couldn't pass the third level after umpteen attempts.

And Kid Icarus? I beat that game. I still have no idea how. 

I beat TMNT when I was a kid. I was thinking about getting that game. Then I remembered it being really brutal and I don't want anything to break. Things tend to break whenever I lose. 

It's so much easier now since we can save where ever we want. Back then you had to beat it in one sitting. Is there a code system for TMNT? Ninja Gaiden doesn't, so it probably took me a good 4-6 hours to beat it the first time. Kid Icarus is crazy hard. So many things would break if I played that game again.
