[Classic] Anyone remember Battletoads?

Happy Cow introduced me to NES Battletoads and I can honestly say that although it is one of the more creative games I have played, it is also one of the most evil...ever.

The first boss interested me with the fact that you have to aim at the screen since it's from the boss' viewpoint. Then the dreaded second speeder bike level was nastiness. I like the fact that there were literally "life-stealing" monsters. I loathed the fact that I kept dying and screwing things up when we tried to get through it 2p. I marvelled when it was beat (me dead of course), since it just kept getting faster and faster.

Watching the third stage being played, I dismissed it as lunacy since the ice + needles + jumps were already lethal enough to watch.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
