Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports).

"Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.


Posting Rules

  • Posts must be directly gaming-related. Thus, "generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission; similarly, reaction GIFs are also not appropriate as submissions.

  • Following Reddiquette is encouraged

  • No "general" URL shorteners (bitly, tinyurl, etc). Single-site URL shorteners (such as youtu.be or fav.me) are allowed.

  • No game or product giveaway of any kind

  • NSFW submissions and comments must be labeled

  • Spoilers can be posted using the following formatting:
    [X Kills Y](/spoiler)
    Result: X Kills Y.

  • To mark a spoiler as relevant to a specific game/topic, use the alternate formatting:
    [Player 1 wins](/spoiler "Pong")
    Result:
    Player 1 wins

  • Report posts containing spoilers not using the above method

  • Don't post users' personal information.

Submission Rules

Is your post not showing up? Do not delete it. Wait 5 minutes to give AutoModerator a chance to look at it; it approves most submissions automatically. If it hasn't shown up after more than 5 minutes, simply message the moderators and ask us to let it through.

It had the sickest beat though for the theme.

[–]jmr426 2 points3 points ago

That beat interrupted by the buzzing sound every two seconds made it a horrible experience, I can see why the OP has nightmares.

[–]Blueprinted 4 points5 points ago

That part isn't even that hard, the tecmo dome is WAY WORSE.

[–]Blowout777 2 points3 points ago

I couldn't get past this. :/

The technodrome is only difficult right before the hallway of death, and if you know how to make the jetpack guys fly backwards off the screen you can get out of dealing with the worst of it.

[–]NESCartFanatic 2 points3 points ago

Pause. Switch. Cowabunga!

[–]Diethoc 2 points3 points ago

After trying to beat this level consistently for months with the same turtle throughout, I was so pissed when my friend told me that was possible.

I was even more pissed when I forgot about it years later and couldn't remember how I beat it as a kid.

[–]Macblair 2 points3 points ago

.. and the most annoying "You are low on life" beep...

[–]mikejac 1 point2 points ago

I think I can count the times I beat this level on one hand.

[–]DroppinEaves 1 point2 points ago

This is 20 years old!?!?!?! ...what have I done with my life...

[–]meowmix1989 1 point2 points ago

I always thought it was me. I didn't know the game was just very hard.

I just thought I was horrible.

[–]IAmTheRedWizards 1 point2 points ago

My 8 year old self LOVED this game, right up until this level. It took me months to finally beat it, and then the rest of the game was colored by my extreme frustration with it. In short, fuck this game.

[–]shinro_ornin 1 point2 points ago

The dorkly boys have something to say about this game.

[–]Klepto666 0 points1 point ago

BZZ BZZ! BZZ BZZ! BZZ BZZ! BZZ BZZ! Gameover.

[–]apow 0 points1 point ago

fuck this stage

[–]stevejobsatemyliver 0 points1 point ago

That level was perfect for Raphael -- let him croak since he had the shortest weapons.

[–]PokeOfZoro 0 points1 point ago

killer seaweed? :o graphics reminds me of battletoads; was their anything deadlier than the racetrack?

[–]Konflyk 0 points1 point ago

Dude, NSFL tags next time please, now I'm gonna go back to my therapist thanks to that level, fuck!

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

worst seaweed ever.

[–]LyFeY 0 points1 point ago

I dont think I ever got past the part where you actually get the turtle blimp.

[–]bamfalamfa 0 points1 point ago

i was just in the neighborhood and noticed you were fishing for upvotes

[–]The_Director -4 points-3 points ago

This is new and refreshing. I'll just wait for the influx of [fixed] posts with Ninja Gaiden, Contra, Nintendo Hard link to TvTropes, Demon Soul's, etc, etc.

[–]IAmTheRedWizards 1 point2 points ago

You know what's new and refreshing? Your attitude.

[–]N_Who -2 points-1 points ago

Look, I don't wanna be That Guy, but this stage was NOT that hard. The gorram Airport ("world" 4?), THAT was a bitch.

[–]WarPhalange -1 points0 points ago

My nightmares usually involve me driving my car and the breaks not working regardless of how hard I slam on the pedal and I wake up right as I crash into a truck stopped at a red light. But yeah, I guess dying in a video game is pretty scary too.

[–]cbfw86 -2 points-1 points ago

No you don't.
