Best failed attempt so far, on this tough checkpoint. This is the hardest section so far. I got to the background transition, so it seems I almost broke through to the next checkpoint. From the footage I saw, it seems the rest of the game isnt as tough as this section, but time will tell.
The Retroflag USB Classic SNES style controller feels great so far. Great fire rate in turbo mode, just like the 6 button genesis style version, and dpad feels tight and responsive. It feels better than my old ASCII SNES turbo controllers, so I will order more in the future.
