Summer Games Challenge 2015

Question for those playing Earthworm Jim: Do you f'ing hate it and wish you hadn't put it on your list?

[Ack]

Nothing finished yet! But my progress so far.

Bonk's Adventure - I've made it about 2/3 of the way through. I wish the game had some sort of save/password feature; it seems just long enough to necessitate that sort of thing.
Castlevania - Terrible at this one. Haven't even reached the second boss yet .
Ghosts 'n Goblins - Made it to stage 5. Not bad!
Ikari Warriors - Who the hell knows, everything looks the same.
Ninja Gaiden - Made it to stage 5-3. Not bad!
OutRun - I can almost reach the third checkpoint. Not very good at this one either.

Why not pick one and just focus on it hardcore? Don't get discouraged, just give it your all. I know you can do it!

My issue is picking which one I'll be focusing on next. Every time I beat one, I sit and wonder which game should I tackle next. I'm saving Lost Levels, because it's the one game on here that I think will make me want to quit. Everything else, I can give an honest shot to.

Ack did you end up keeping 7th Guest? Have you played it at all yet?

I ended up beating it last weekend.

I've been playing whatever my daughter requests. But yeah, you're right, I should wait until she goes to bed to play and focus on something 100%.

As for The Lost Levels... You're playing it on the SNES, right? It honestly isn't bad. It's the FDS original that's absurdly difficult. Oh, and don't take any warp zones to assure you experience the insanity that is World 9.

[Ack]

You're not making me look forward to this. I'm thinking Indiana Jones or System Shock 2 next...though I am starting to get pumped for Final Fantasy V.

System Shock 2

If you've never played it, play it ASAP.

Alone, late at night, with headphones.

You will believe.

If you're playing Lost Levels on SNES, I think it won't be too bad at all. I'm not that great at Mario and I got through it OK. The SNES version saves after each level, so it's not too frustrating. I'd be willing to bet Dracula X was harder.

That said, I adore FFV, so you should play that too XD

Not at all. In fact, I loved it so much it now counts among my favorite games. I've been resisting the urge to go play it again rather than focusing on other games.

It has sparked something of an Earthworm Jim obsession for me. I bought Earthworm Jim 2 which is also great though I haven't beaten it yet. I also just purchased the tv series (and thank you Key-Glyph for recommending it, I watched an episode on youtube and liked it enough to get the dvd set) and an action figure Mezco released a couple of years back to add to my toy collection.

I'll be picking up the comic books at some point as well.

There's a reason that first game is 666, 666. And a reason Rockstar offered a free pager with it.
