Stumbling together through Snake, Rattle 'n' Roll - Part 3

[davidn]

Twenty minutes... for two levels, if you can believe it. kjorteo and I struggle together through the final stages of this alleged game, this artefact of pain distilled into the form of a cartridge. In it, we climb the last ice mountain stage (being more successful at going downwards), and then fight against one of the most ridiculously unfair bosses ever created by man or beast. Wish us luck... not with the game, because we've already done that - just with the recovery.

As an addendum, shockingly, Terotrous on the GameFAQs boards posted an entirely legitimate run of it - he gets through the game impressively unscathed until the geyser/waterfall section, and then is absolutely destroyed by the six tiles of right-sloping ice at the top of level 10, which claim two continues on their own. Nintendo games just... did not like to be beaten.

I actually really want to play Battletoads with David one of these days, but I don't think it would make a very entertaining video for everyone else. It's the same reason that I Wanna Be the Guy Let's Play vids are almost always unwatchably bad: there are just so many "someone plays an infamously difficult game, something with a reputation all over the internet for how impossibly hard it is, and loses" videos out there already, it becomes hard to add anything particularly unique or worthwhile to the formula.

But I still want to do it, just for our sake. Maybe we'll try it sometime and he can leave the recorder running just in case, with the understanding that we'll just delete/not post the video if it ends up not being any good.

Of course, once you hit the Turbo Tunnel, the censor system will burn out...

You two really kept it amusing throughout the playthrough, too! I'm currently looking at a LP with Yahtzee playing "Normality" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6UHdzmUn2U) and ... well, it's over 3 hours long so I doubt I'll finish it, and the dialogue is nowhere near as amusing as you two XD
