You can actually beat Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles‽ I thought it was kinda like Tetris or something, where it just goes on until you die (again and again) or the game crashes /s

I was always proud of my kid-self for almost defeating The Lion King on Sega. I was like two levels away, but always got stuck at the end of a lava-cavern level. Rocks would fall from the top and slowly murder you while you tried to find the exit in a room full of lava geysers.

Turns out, a slab of rock would eventually fall onto one of the geysers, and you were supposed to stand on it and get rocketed out of the level. I thought it would rocket you into the ceiling of the cave and kill you (I mean, it's a logical thought)... so I never tried.

I played it as an adult and I know I would've crushed those last levels as a kid. Trying to kill Scar would've been another issue (you have to throw him off the cliff) because I would've just kept trying to claw him to death... but I think I would've eventually done it, at least accidentally

So yeah, the exit to that lava level still pisses me off lol. Lions can't pass through solid matter to exit a cave, for fuck's sake!

Lion King is no joke. I beat it with my roommates almost 20 years ago. We were all unemployed and we trained Lion King every day for a week. The level after the one you got stuck on- you just have to get to it, play it until you run out of lives, then repeat until you have it completely memorized.

And yeah TMNT is totally winnable. You gotta basically get lucky with some of the sewer jumps (hardest part of the game), collect enough missiles for the van, and enough ropes for the roof jumping. That water in "level 2 "everybody cries about ain't shit once you know that you're doing.

I did go back and beat The Lion King as an adult, after seeing how to get out of the cave. It was kinda nuts how much muscle memory I still had; like riding a bike. Which makes me wonder how many hours I must've put into it as a child lol

I might have to go back and check out TMNT (if I'm feeling up for a little torture). I never could get far in that game; it felt too brutal and confusing. But we've got the interwebs now and guides abundant!

Edit: just noticed your Pixies username... well played
