The advantage of using emulators to play through old NES and SNES games is that you can freeze your progress and revert right back to it.
For example, if you wanted to do something as pointless as make this jump in Super Mario Bros’ level 8-1 without getting the coins (who comes up with these ideas?), you could freeze your progress right before the jump and try it, and if you failed, you could “defrost” and it would return you right before the jump.
Basically, it’s like bookmarking your game. Anywhere.
So, this morning, I decided to play through a game I could never beat on the NES: Top Gun.
Holy cow that game is impossible. I could get to the last level, but could never beat it.
Even with freezing and defrosting, this game proved to be one heckuva challenge before I beat it.
Anybody else beat this game back in the day?
