I once beat it in 27 minutes. I didn't know it was supposed to be hard at the time! I briefly checked speed run records now and that time would have put me in the top 50 "no glitches" ranking!

I'm not that good at games... For some reason PoP leveraged some brain circuitry I have with questionable evolutionary value.



That's impressive. You clear this game... that puts you in contrast with me, who can't even become a 'prince' in a game


Bionic Commando is that game for me. My best time is just under 16 minutes, but I'm generally the worst at video games of any of my friends; it's one of the few platformers I've beaten at all on the NES.
