Is it me or are games just too easy. I'm broke and all because everytime i finish a game i fork out another fourty quid for another game. For instance here is a list of my games, the price i paid and how long it took to complete it.
Blood Omen 2 £35 3 weeks
Nightfire £40 4 weeks
Tonk Hawk's 3 £40 2 weeks (with every chracter)
Turok Evolution £40 1 week
Agent Under Fire £40 2 weeks
Die Hard Vendetta £40 1 week
NHL Hitz £35 1 week
Timesplitters 2 £40 5 weeks
Kelly Slater's £40 2 weeks
Mortal Kombat £35 Just bought
I've also been borrowing games and here are the ones i've completed
Jedi Outcast 1 week
Star Fox adventures 2 weeks
Sonic Aventure 2 Battle 1 week
Super Smash brothers melee 2 weeks
Now what i'd like to know is am i the only one having this problem? Games are far too easy. I've used no cheats and some i'll never touch again coz they have no multiplayer. Hard mode should be impossible with normal at very challenging and easy at ok.
Please answer this post coz i can't be the only one with this problem. Can i?

Ahhh Conker. Twas easy but brilliant.
Right, after a bunch of research, bubble bobble on most formats had a door on level 50 for if you'd not died at all, which took you to level 70.
However, the master system version was different, also known as 'final bubble bobble'. Presumably one of the differences was the dark levels, with the coals on level 50.

On the master system version at least, after you got to level.. don't know, 50 or 80 or something (it was many years ago) the levels were all black. (You could see Bub and Bob, and the other enemies etc, just no platforms).
To be able to see in them you had to go into a bonus room - style door thing, where you got some coals, then everything would be visible later on.
Or so Sega Power told me.
I never found the door, and never did see those levels.
I think it may have been coals on level 50 and lights out on level 80. But I could be very wrong.
*Gazes hungrily at GBA version*
Actually I could go for a playstation version when my ps2 arrives...

and no I haven't done all that.
Did you really complete Super Smash bros Melee? Did you really? Are you so sure?
Well lets see:
Did you get....
All 25 characters
All of the stages including Final Destination stage
All 290 Trophies including all the add ons from game saves of other games
Beaten all 51 of the Event Matches
Beaten the Adventure mode with all 25 characters
Beaten the Classic Mode with all 25 characters
Beaten the All Stars mode with all 25 characters
Beaten the Target practice game with all 25 characters
Gotten at least over 500m's with each of the 25 characters
Beaten the Cruel Melee with at least 10 KO's from any character
Beaten the 3 and 15 Minute Melee's
Taken on 3 other Level 9 coms with no items in a VS match on any stage with any character
I rest my case if you cannot say you've done all of that.

Bubble Bobble:
The 10 /20 / 30 bonus levels appeared through a door that appears for a short time in the middle of the screen when you reach that level.
They are full of diamonds (I think, it was a few years ago), worth 100s of 1000s, and very weird music.
Not sure about the code thing.
On the PS, which was a very accurate conversation there were no codes and limited continues.
I once managed to get to level 78 on 1 credit.
Plus...
You have to finish level 100 in 2 player, or it does something very mean.
If anyone has it on PS1 to sell I want it...
As for THPS, I can never be bothered playing through on more than one character, then I just play for scores.

It took you two weeks to complete Tony Hawk's 3 with every character?
Were you blindfolded or something?

Oh, and if you shop around a little you never have to pay over £35 for a game
Eagle Bird:
I'd trade in some of those games you've finished with if I were you. If you're not going to play them any more it's just dead cash.
And maybe rent more if you finish most games in a couple of weeks?
Vorderman:
Bubble Bobble: you actually got into the room with the coals so you could see the otherwise blacked out levels?
How?
I remember reading that you had to wait for the 'hurry up' bit without killing anything, then a gateway should appear at the top, but it never seemed to happen for me...
Did you see any of the mirrors? I remember crystal balls, but not mirrors, though as with the coals I'd heard they existed.
Oh, and you remember the bonusish level with the blue crystals and a big code in the centre of the screen?
Where there was a code of the same length as a level password and a key matching the symbols with letters, as if it should have been blatantly obvious that it was a thinly veiled level password, but when entered it didn't do anythin...
Do you know what was going on with that?
I plan to snap the GBA version up as soon as I get the GBA / GBA player to go with it, and this time I will (/might) not be defeated...
Well, I'll have a pop at it anyway.
Sorry about the blatant outpouring of questions, but when I was playing the game first time round there was nobody to ask
:^)
