I beat Gauntlet last night, although I used save states and a faq guide. Boss takes 150 hits 😡

Very frustrating game in parts, where I was stuck and just started shooting random walls over and over. I feel like that's bad game design.

In Zelda, you had to bomb walls in dungeons, but a few times.

(It was a rather large illustrated hardcover book, that's why so expensive)

Well, I guess you just try not to die. 🙂

I might try to make an original song next. Maybe. Maybe not.

Maybe even 3-4 times as heavy as it seems in this video.

Like, not kidding, a normal CRT can weight over 100 pounds (45 kg).
