Hey! I was going to make a post in the introductions thread, but I figured it would be better to make one here, since Together Retro is my main reason for signing up. A sort of "book club but for video games" is exactly what I've been looking for lately: a fun incentive to go through a game, with discussion peppered in. My friends don't have a lot of overlapping interests with me when it comes to games, so I'm looking forward to hanging around people that do. I hope I can be a positive presence!
As for the month's topic? Too many games fit the description in the OP, but the game I've made the most attempts to beat, but still haven't beaten, is probably Top Hunter. It's a wonderful and unique game with outstanding level design, but my runs always stop three-fourths of the way in. It isn't super difficult, so I could knock it out today or tomorrow if I really doubled down and put time into it.
And then the game I've gotten the farthest in and still haven't beaten is Sutte Hakkun GB. Currently I'm on 9-8, so I don't have many levels left to go. I could definitely knock this out, too, most likely sooner than Top Hunter. In
faaaaact, I'll go play it a little right after this post.
I also got a friend to play Pocky & Rocky 2 with me couple months ago, but we never finished it. I should ask him again - we had a great time and I don't play multiplayer too often...
...speaking of, does this forum ever do netplay?

Did you decide on one? I'll play with you.
