If I were to play it now, I probably wouldn't go through the whole game. I'd probably just boot it up and go through a stage with the megabuster. Then turn it off and go play a newer game.
Right. But I'm just trying to get you to acknowledge that there are non-cheating uses for save states in eumlation and in return I will confirm your original contention that, yes I am indeed a sucky gamer. Very much so.
And I chew on lead-painted window sills.
Who doesn't chew on lead-painted window sills these days?
Saving inbetween stages is fine, but the majority of people who claim to do
just that actually have few qualms about load state/save state constantly in game, not saying that you do that, but the majority of people who claim they don't cheat with save states, do. That's probably the main thing that gets me with the whole "omg savestates make emulatorz bettar than actooal machinez!1!1", because they really don't when the majority of people use them to cheat out the ass. Hell I've seen people playing goddamn SNES games and doing save state load state in the middle of Super Mario World, and then telling me they aren't cheating.
If you're playing a game a way the developers didn't intend, I see it as cheating. But I will agree that some NES passwords were unnecessarily long.
