Sorry, I was talking about the projection TV’s. I don’t have much experience with stand alone projectors (although that pocket one sounds sweet!). I just remember this quick blip of DLP TV’s, which were short lived. I remember watching a video on them and how it’s full of little tiny mirrors for each pixel, and a color wheel.
To be fair LCD projection TV’s were almost as short lived. That step between CRT projection TV’s and LCD/Plasma panel TV’s was very brief.
Now how in the hell did you beat it so fast? I’ve had Gimmick for like a year now and I still haven’t been able to beat it the proper way yet! I just somehow need to get better =P
I also got a pair of displays repaired by HP. Good communication, his turn around time/price is very reasonable, and he does a good job. Highly recommended!

Yeah, if you’re doing it on a Famicom, I’m pretty sure that you’ll have to leave the system on the whole time, in order for it to keep your stars. I did it on an emulator, so I could save the state and resume later, as if I had never turned the system off.
Wow, yeah that’s gonna be tough. Mine is on the NES, Uncle Tusk had the Famicom version on a NES cart, I had to get it =P I guess it means when I attempt that my NES will be on for a while! I can’t imagine doing it all in one day.

I definitely did it the old-school way, too, where you had to beat the game 8 times before even being able to access the hidden letter worlds.
Wait what? Aww damn, I’m totally thinking of World 9. I never did get to the Letter worlds >_< There's no battery backup in this game right? So you gotta beat it 8 times in one sitting? Damn, I got some work ahead of me. At least I can use warp pipes it looks like, since it looks like doing world 9 isn't necessary to get a star.
I don’t know if this counts as beating it or not, but I’d say the original japanese Super Mario 2. I have a copy for my NES, so no cheats or anything, unless I want to bust out the game genie.
However, so far I’ve had to use that jump on the turtle trick to get more lives, I haven’t been able to with the stock 3 lives yet.
Also, I only got to world C, instead of D. I’m not sure if beating the game is technically beating bowser in Castle 8, or to get through all Worlds A-D (Which it takes away all your lives and you only get one chance for those worlds). Last time I actually got to the secret worlds was the first time, I was sweating so much trying not to die. Alas, something jumped out in world C somewhere and got me.
Other than that, I don’t have a good track history for beating really hard games. Actually I did beat Super Alfred Chicken on the Super Nintendo. Took a few years, those last levels get ridiculously hard I seem to remember.
