Used to be able to do Contra with one life, my recent best is three though.

as a side note for tough games... I can make it through the original NES Turtles game with no deaths, and no saves, and i've got the video to prove it ;o)...

I'm not convinced that anyone ever beat the first level of Bart vs The Space Mutants either. Everyone seemed to have that game, and played it a fair bit, but I've never known anyone who got past the first level.
Even with ROMs and a walkthrough, I wasn't able to beat the first level.

WOW...
After years of trying I beat it by the skin of my teeth (one turtle left, Leonardo IIRC). I remember being pissed off that Splinter became human.

yep, that's the one.. I remember getting up to the museum stage... but not past it.. will have to check the rest of the videos to jog memory
Jeez, I didn't even think that was possible. Once you get to the Tecnodrome there's so much crap on the screen, the flickering gets so bad the game is practically unplayable.
When I was a kid I made it to the Technodrome a handful of times, and as far as I was concerned, that equaled beating the game. I'd tell my friends, "Hey, I made it to the Technodrome, ok? I beat the game." Now it looks like I'll have to pull it back out and ACTUALLY beat it. Getting started shouldn't be hard since I recently dug up my NES and hooked it up in my living room!
As I mentioned above, I've beaten Ninja Gaiden. It took years. Blaster Master though? Pssshhh, not a chance!

speaking of games, has anyone been vehemently against playing a game, wound up getting it anyway, and it turns out it's one of your favorites?
I think it was my mother who got me legend of Zelda NES on a whim. I didn't care for it, but once I understood where to go, it turned into my favorite series.
years later, a game store guy talked her into pre-registering final fantasy, but I talked her out of that one. from what I understand, you don't really control characters, it's set up more like Mario and Luigi Superstar..plus it's long as hell
