What are you playing? (long overdue)

Tengen or Nintendo?
As a kid I used to have a 76in1 cart with the Tengen Tetris and I played the hell out of it.

Nintendo

I bet that Tengen version is pretty expensive.

It is funny that when I was a kid, I thought Lifeforce was super easy and pretty much finished it the day I got it. I can barely get to stage 3 now.

I also finished Contra in the first week and returned the game (back when you can returned opened games). I never knew about the 30 lives code.

Tengen Tetris isn't too expensive loose. I have a CIB but the box was rental and beat to hell.

My Nintendo Tetris is CIB and like new.

When I only kept a dozen or so titles at a time for a console (did a lot of trading in at Funcoland) I would grind through a game like Life Force. It’s a lot of memorization, over plain skills. Those growing walls are a pain in the ass. I’d really have to commit to it, to beat it. Free time isn’t what it used to be when I was in my early 20s. I could just fly through Super C without dying, because I’d played it so much.
