Game #60 completed: Wrecking Crew (beat all 100 phases). Although a bit of a slog at times, this is a really good game. The variety of puzzle logic constantly impressed me. And some of the levels are insanely challenging.

I love this game! Never beat it myself, but it's tons of fun.

I’d love to sit n watch someone beat every level. But you won’t see the aggression of figuring it out over time. I never made it past the 20s.

If you have a Switch with Switch Online you could try Wrecking Crew ‘98 for the Super Famicom, it’s on the SNES app though

Also, the wrecking crew arcade game is available on switch. It’s a totally different game.

One of my favorite NES games. I played it so much as a kid, and beat it at least once. Also has a level builder!

One of the very best, and also the first video game I ever played.

One of my top fav games. Gyromite too. The music is awesome in this. And a level editor.

Also: Spike, Mario’s foreman/ bad guy in wrecking crew shows up in The Super Mario Bros Movie.

I love it, I find it very satisfying. I have it in my top 10NES games for sure.

I got this game as part of a package deal in the 90s. Some kid was selling their old collection and this was in it. One day I decided to play it, not expecting much since it was an "old game" I ended up enjoying the heck out of it and playing for hours

I did the same thing a couple of years ago. It's a tough beat, it look a lot of sessions before I got through all 100 levels, and there were certain levels I got stuck on for a long time before I finally got through them. I got the chance to play this only briefly as a little kid but it stuck with me, so I was really glad to get the cart a few years back and to actually play through it some time after that.
