I exorcised a demon yesterday.
I completed Sonic 2 for the first time!

Sonic 2 I have managed...
But no Mario (platform) game has ever been defeated by me.

I completed Super Mario Galaxy fairly recently.

Unfortunately my love affair with platformers died out with the 64-bit generation

It's true that the best platformers are pre-64.
Doesn't mean there aren't still some good ones.

i think it's just there were more platformers back then
because they weren't able to make as many different styles of game

I'm not saying the contemporary ones are bad
I mean Sunshine and Galaxy are supposed to be amazing games...

It's just I've never gotten back into them - they seem a bit pointless to me. All I play now is football games and shooters.

wussbag
super mario bros 1 & 3 were pretty difficult late in tha game but 2 was a piece of piss and super mario world was easy enough

also, 64 was completable

I thought 2 was hard,
I could never do that one.

the sub-con one?
fair enough. the flying face things were an annoyance and the final boss put up a bit of a struggle, i guess

I couldn't get past those faces
