@Kayless: Hehe....frustrating NES games....I've had a few experiences with them....
I can still remember the joy after beating Mike Tyson and completing Mike Tyson's Punch Out....now that was one rock-hard game....
Has anyone ever played a game called "Tiger Heli" for the NES....I had it on an running for 50 hours.....(no save available)....without completing it....later on I found out that it was actually impossible to complete as the game just started from the beginning after you bombed your way through the "supposedly" last level....that really pissed me off....still does when I think about it....
Just hang in there Kayless and you'll make it....one of theese days you will....
