Toughest version of this first game so far. Even with turbo set to the throw button the last two opponents can be very hard. Mainly that final opponent (4th opponent, the gopher). The NES arcade ports took between 11-21 minutes each. This one is taking well over an hour so far. I only won a few rounds against the gopher, but need 2 in the same match to win. Should break through relatively soon.
Ive also been fast forwarding through the worthless bonus stages to save time, since they are risk-free and only worthwhile if playing for score, not to beat the game. So the final play time would be even higher waiting through the bonus stages. It adds up. When it comes to beating games I have my own rules for legitimacy on the KILL LIST. One of those rules is being able to fast forward through parts that have no risk and just cost time. On rare occasion I will fast forward through idle parts. Main focus tends to be KILLING games for the list, rarely play for score. I like to show some unedited footage occasionally to show the process, since a successful run is usually alot cleaner and can be deceptive.
