Around 5 hours 56 minutes to beat. Around 2 hours alone was spent on the final stage, a very irritating flight sequence, for the wrong reasons. Around 27 years ago I got to that part but could never beat it (and it was set to easy back then). Accidentally beat the final stage on this normal setting, so decided to finish off the rest of the game again on that setting. This is probably one of the oldest backlog games that I went back and finished off. After beating the final stage using that password, I decided to beat the rest of the game on the "normal" setting to post it up. In the tutorial version of this playthrough I will break down that flight sequence in detail and the rest of the game. There is alot of little nuances that should make it much more managable to those who are stuck. I found this game very easy except for the final sequence, occasionally getting lost and one of the later stages. Super Empire Strikes Back for SNES is MUCH harder even on the easiest setting. I may play through that one again at some point to capture it, make a tutorial.
