So last week between worrisome thoughts of my boring life and that lump on my left testicle, i grabbed a few happy thoughts of earlier times in my life.

School, girls, parties, rubbing the corns on Grandma's feet, and then it hit me! The most horrifing memory of my life......"You cant save the focking game?"

That's right, busting my ass cleaning dishes and chopping wood just to get enough money to buy that damned game.

About 2 hours in i realised you cant save the focker.

I still remember the fear in my friends beady little Milhouse eyes. I kept that poor SNES on for days.....until the power went out. I gave up and never played it again.

Until i learned to emulate it.....i've been playing and saving that shit for days now. Sometimes just saving my progress because i can.

Did anyone else keep their SNES running for days at a time to beat it? 

I remember me and my friend taking turns playing it and beating it within the course of one day.

I'll have to go with "Yes noob it only took a few hours"

Wasn't there a cheat code for the game? I never played it but I remember seeing one. I used to always check for cheat codes before I bought a game and I remember wanting to buy this one.

I did. My parents bought me the game when I was sick at home back in fifth grade and it was the only game I could play because I had lent most of my collection to my uncle (he was a big gamer as well).

Long story short, I must have spent over two weeks over that game. It was pretty amazing but a bit of a bother as well, having to memorize all the key cards locations and how to actually survive the Velociraptor's pen (which was the hardest "dungeon" on the game to me).

The game itself isn't that hard...once you found the infinite live secret/glitch in the hidden room of the mountains before the boat then you're pretty much set.

Emulations lol. We used game genies. Turning SF2 into SF2 Turbo was far more important than completing a game that should have stayed as a movie..

Yeah, that game was a bitch and a half without a save feature. That is, if you didn't have a Game Genie baby!

I used to have a subscription for the code booklets, and every few months or so I'd get a new one in the mail with codes for most of the latest titles. I jumped for joy when I saw Jurassic Park listed in one of them, and I immediately popped the game in and proceeded to beat that shit with infinite lives and ammo, and being able to start with ALL the raptor eggs so no spending hours on a tedious scavenger hunt for me!

you had a lump on your testicle?

Game Genie is no fun for me..... I would rather beat a game with no help. Even if I don't beat it at all.

Why does everyone think that finishing a game on the SNES required the gamegenie? >_>. Ever heard of trial and error?
