Getting better with age?

troyboy11ten · 01-30-2004, 01:59 AM

I started gaming at an early age and spent many a night screaming and crying because I couldn't beat a level or a game. Needless to say I went through a mess of controllers and a handful of nintendos. Then high school sports came around and I hung it up for a while. Now I''m in college and I started up again playing all the old games that I couldn't beat before and (

) beat them royally. Iron Mike cried like a girl

. Has any one else had a similar experience? :cheers:

Yah know...I never DID beat Battletoads.....

I beat Battletoads/Double Dragon.....so I guess that counts as something.....

I think it's because your reactions are faster when you reach 14/15+

Yup. And more impatient too.

Damn, the furthest I've ever legitimatley got in Battletoads is to the level where they ride a self-propelled unicycle deal up, down, and under walls. It's almost impossible to get anywhere in the game 2 player style with those vehicle levels.

I never finished the original Metal Gear (NES), then I gave the system away when I was about 14 or so.

Back in 1999, right after I got my first Playstation, I started looking around for a playstation version of Metal Gear. That's how I ended up finding out about Metal Gear Solid.

I've spent a few hours on ebay, pondering over how bad I want to replay (and finish) Metal Gear; is it bad enough to buy a used NES and a copy of the game?

*sigh*

She was sent in as Gargamel\'s evil spy with the intention of destroying the Smurf village, but the overwhelming goodness of the Smurf way of life transformed her. And as for the whole gang-bang scenario, it just couldn\'t happen. Smurfs are asexual. They don\'t even have reproductive organs under those little white pants. That\'s what\'s so illogical, you know, about being a Smurf. What\'s the point of living if you don\'t have a ****?
