I beat Battletoads!

Yes, I have done the seemingly impossible.

I. Have. Beaten. Battletoads.

A few weeks ago I did it, and boy did I feel good! But at the same time, I felt like I didn't deserve the right to say that I had beaten this legendary game because I used the 5 lives cheat code and I used the warps. But today I did it using neither.

I may not be a bad enough dude to save the president, but atleast I beaten Battletoads.

Damn! Lucky you. I was never able to get passed the second level. Who knows how far I could go now, the last time I've played that game has to be about a decade ago. The Wiis Virtual Console disappointed me really bad when they never released Battletoads.

And what's this Gameboy version I hear of?

How would they release a game who's rights are owned by another company? Especially when said company is owned by Microsoft.

That the next one I'm aiming for. But first, I need a copy and in order to get a copy, I need money. Battlemaniacs I'm saving for last since it was their swan song, not counting the arcade game. Anyone know which version of Battletoads and Double Dragon I should get? I can't decide between the Genesis or Super Nintendo version.

Heres a great Battletoads website in anyone is interested. It's been abandoned, but it still has some of the best Battletoads information on the net: http://web.archive.org/web/200803280...com/index.html

I personally dug the Genesis version, but the SNES one has better quality.

Definitely that one.

Congratulations--the farthest I ever got in Battletoads (without cheating) was that level where you have to outrun those big gears (it's the one after the snakes I think). I've beaten the Gameboy version without cheating . . . once.
