Super Mario World, I believe.
Or Aladdin for the SNES.
Maybe Alladin for SNES and Megadrive. Hmm.. I'm not sure, I beat a lot of platform games like that, though. Never was into RPG's then, maybe because I was too little.
"... and so I close, realizing that perhaps the ending has not yet been written."
i was porr when i was little so the first video game system i got was th n64 i beat starfox on that system
Mystic Quest, though now I don't reallt like the game anymore.
BTW, keep it up Joel, you'll beat it eventually.
Life Force on the NES - followed by Contra - I could beat them with the infamous Konami code, for 30 lives. First fair victory was SMB3.
Knock yourselves down.
