Not necessarily the first time you play it, but any time really....and I would never want to play any game for more than two and a half hours in a row.

I could only beat Super Mario Bros. 3 in one sitting with warp whistles…I’d say all 8 worlds put together makes for a gameplay of about 6-8 hours or so? So no way am I ever going to try that.

Super Metroid - I can get the best ending in this game, get all items and cover every square on the map, and have done so a few times, but it’s a planned thing based around trial and error and getting to various save spots as quickly as possible.

Your “extra joy” comment reminded me of funny and trivial things I can remember about Final Fight:

1)The cop boss has the awkward name “Edi. E”
2)The first boss in the game is called Thrasher or something but in Japan the name is “Damnd”
3)The skinny punk guys you fight were girls in the Japanese game
4)I thought Mike Haggar was black the first time I played the game
5)I thought Cody looked like a retard because of his jaw and I confused him in my mind with that guy named Cody from that show Step By Step and I thought that guys named Cody were all big and stupid (the game came out when I was 9, so have mercy)
6)Watch Cody do his special move spin kick in slow motion and look at how awkward his body position changes with each frame of animation
7)The Nintendo Power player’s guide referred to that big fat guy G. Oriber as “The massive mountain of a man, G. Oriber”
8)Bosses include Sodom and a guy named Abigail, was Capcom trying to send us a message here?
9)The “hyaagggh” sound effects and the rubber sounds bodies bouncing on the floor get real old real fast.
10)The guy whose car you trash, falling to his knees and crying “oh my car,” the sound effect of which comes out sounding like “ohhh, my goff”
11)The final boss, Belger, is probably the funniest of all 16 bit final bosses. He has both a bald and misshapen head, bushy eyebrows, a paunchy guy, is pretending to be a cripple, lets out the worst “hyaaggghh” in the game when you kick him out the window (and he goes head first, for about 70 stories), and you have to start the fight by punching Haggar’s daughter while he’s holding her hostage. God, the Japanese are kinda sick sometimes aren’t they?

I wouldn’t much feel like replaying MK1 these days. I certainly do not like how every character had a projectile attack, but only one specialty besides that.
