I remember beating this as a kid and feeling like I could beat anything. Man this game was so hard in the 80’s without walkthroughs. Thanks for the nostalgic moment man.

It definitely hit the right spot for me back in 1989 when I got it for Xmas (I actually rented and beat it on Xmas morning at 6am, but my grandma didn't know that, lol. Still greatly enjoyed the gift), but was humming Blaster Master and Super Mario 2 tunes more at school/home.

One of my fondest memories from this game is that last bit when you jump and got that hangtime and at the exact perfect moment you blow up Hitler's head with a bazooka! When I finally beat this game I got it exactly the way you did on my first try and went ballistic. Man I miss my old NES and all these games.

The sound chips and sound effects are actually owned by the publishers to promote their brand and customer familiarity. The publishers wanted you to know that you where playing a Capcom game. Same with the other publishers. They where very competitive back then. Good example, is the Konami pause sound or code.

Thanks for the memory! Well played by the way. When I beat it I had to save up a bunch of health points way early on and got as many continues as I could. I was probably 10-12 at the time. Maybe I didn’t have to reset. Lol

I've been watching for some time but wanted to say you deserve much more recognition. I do a lot of speed killing in destiny 2 and teach others how-to do the same so I know the days and months and years of dedication to own the art and I respect that you have the same passion. D2 reminds me of a first person mega man with insane builds that has depth many dont realize (how weapons and perks can carve better strats), so that's what hooked me into modern gaming.

That very first door you go into on level one for communications, leave that room and immediately head right. You'll drop down onto that enemies head, and bounce off and fly right, like as if you stepped onto one of the game's jumping springs. Use the arm to clunk onto that post and long swing all the way over to that 2nd door.... *save yourself a huge chunk of seconds* for that first time clunk.
