I did it... I DID IT! The NES-A-Thon is OVER! HUZZAH! Yes... after 2 and a half years... I have played every NES game ever!... okay maybe not every every... but every game I was given in this mass collection I downloaded. Over 660 games comes down to its final 6 this night. I know this stream for the NES-A-Thon was a little earlier than usual. But that was mostly because by the time I would do another NES-A-Thon stream, I will be doing the Christmas Special 2025 block. Similar to the Halloween Special block, I along with Miicord Crew members will be playing a random Christmas/Winter/Snow game each day up until Christmas! Plus after that, I will be doing my New Winter Games block. So I really wanted to get this final NES-A-Thon stream out of the way!
Only 6 games to play. Starting with Strider! Some story about something or other oh no so sad a kidnapping okay cool blah blah blah let me play the game! So I control this Chun Li looking dude as I slash enemies away. And with my turbo controls, I am invincible! Other than the massive spikes that are impossible as shit to jump over. I don't know if I am going the right way. But I can keep going so I'll take it. I collect file 1, whatever the fuck I do with that. When I go up and down a ramp, suddenly my sword becomes dull and I can't fucking hit anyone anymore. Oh yeah... it's a 1 life game too. Ain't that nice? Treasure Master is an interesting story. There was a contest affiliated with this game where only just a couple winners could get tickets to a concert or a sports event. That or a dream game room or 10 grand in cash. 250 winners would pick up an SNES console. 36 thousand winners got a certificate poster. A little dinky acknowledgement that you did something. The way you'd enter in is by entering a long ass password by hitting select on the title screen which unlocks you the prize world at the end of the game. And if you conquer it, you'd get a phone number you can call to enter the contest. Of course the contest is... long fucking over and if you try to call that number now, you'd probably just get an error saying the number is no longer in service. Damn... can't even be funny like the Roger Rabbit NES game where if you call the number, it goes to a sex line... no joke. Obviously I didn't make it to the prize world in the 5 minutes of play time... nor did I even make it past the first level. As basic as it looked with a sky area, main ground area, and a water area. I just didn't know how to go much further with massive walls that blocked my path. I couldn't go far under the water either because of an oxygen bar that depletes quickly. Ah well... the contest was long over anyway. It wasn't worth playing it anyway. Can't cheat either as the game has anti-cheat which causes the game to crash. Oh well... I'll just make some burgers in BurgerTime... easier said than done. Those beans and eggs are a menace. Even with the little bits of pepper I can spray, it doesn't help me much. I get close with a few burgers, But I'm not able to fully complete any. Please don't ask me to be your restaurant's chef.
Well it took me until the final NES-A-Thon stream to finally get Super Mario Bros. 2. I rock my boy Luigi as I stroll through 1-1. I try the glitch where I can take a pow and make the logs on the waterfall fly high in the air. I must've done it wrong though as I just sink down and die. Oof. My next go, I do make it to Birdo. Trying to jump on their eggs though with Luigi is a little tricky. Little easier though having 2 hit points. My trip to 1-2 lasts very shortly. I just can't land on the first platform for some reason as I try to dodge the bird on the magic carpet. With that being my last life, I make it back to 1-1. Oh well... I like 1-1 anyway. Me failing horribly to blow up the wall blocking the door to Birdo sends me to the next game. Gun Nac. It has a Config.SYS option... how about that? It's a space shooter. As you shoot the enemies of the stars, you collect all these power ups that make your gun upgrades in Contra look weak as shit. Every 2 seconds you get a new blaster in this game. Whether it's energy orbs, fire blaster, Toenail boomerangs, triple bullet blasters, triple lasers, which one will be the best to take down the moon? No seriously that is the first boss. The fucking moon. Me and my turbo controls destroy the moon and now it's a matter of seeing how much further I can go. Also I'm sorry but I don't know what I'm flying across but there are craters with faces on them... that is creepy. Unfortunately... even with turbo, there's just a shit load of enemies to take care of and I end up losing my last life. There is a continue... but it take me back to the very start. Well I definitely got a good taste of the guns. Not much more to say about this game. Let's just move to the final game... truly... the FINAL game of the NES-A-Thon. The Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle. It almost reminds me of Hotel Mario. You traverse across the many doors as you collect all the carrots and avoid the enemies. You can also use crates, safes, and boxing gloves to take out these guys. I easily got out of the first level... not so easy for the 2nd. Same idea. Just more enemies to take care of. Seems like they got a little smarter here. But to be honest? I don't think I was focused on trying to collect the carrots anymore... I was just focused on as that NES-A-Thon clock reached its final time of 55 hours even.
And... that's it! It's done! After 2 and a half years... the NES-A-Thon... is finished! I did it! All six hundred and sixty-six games! I no longer have to play NES games again! HUZZAH!... well... okay that's not entirely true. What the fuck do I mean you ask? Good question! I am proud to announce an NES-A-Thon side series! The NES-A-Thon Best of 64! A bracket styled tournament featuring 64 handpicked NES games to decide which one is the all time best...
Hint... it's not Conan.
