Great shot Kid. That was one in a million!

Great shot Kid. That was one in a million!

After coming home last night from the raspberry fields Ezzy and I sat down for the most important task of the day.

Beating Super Star Wars on the SNES.

We had gotten pretty far the days before (died just after finding Han Solo).

So we knew we had to do better.

The run went smooth from the get go.

The first levels felt like a breeze and we were out of the Sand crawler (considered the hardest part) in about 15 min.

We quickly made our way to the Tantooine Bar fight level where I was playing.

I finally manage to keep the Plasma Blaster (most powerful weapon) all the way to the Boss at the end of the level and killed him at first try.

This boss had taken us many many tries on the other run!

O yes! We had managed to get to Han Solo without too much trouble!

Unknown territory lay now before us.

The game follows the movie pretty well and next we had to Escape from Mos Eisley.

Which we did after it took us some time to figure out the boss there. (We don't allow ourselves to use internet, just like back in the day, just figure it out yourself).

We quickly progressed from there through the Death Star Hanger Bay and saved Princess Lea!

We were on our way to destroy the Tractor Beam Core when we got a shout from Rea that dinner was ready! (Talking about the authentic experience, that's like the equivalent of Mom shouting the same back in the day).

We paused the game and went upstairs.

We tucked into an incredible meal Rea made at around 10pm.

The food was insane! Absolutely delicious.

We had a nice conversation with all of us as well and after washing up we found ourself back in the same spot 90 minutes later at 30 minutes before Midnight.

We knew this was our best shot of making it.

The problem was our brains had stopped working.

The food made us slow and reaction speed was reduced by at least 25%.

We climbed the core over and over and kept getting killed by it.

Until Hive account@ezzy discovered that it was possible to stand in this corner and it was possible to hit the boss without getting hit to much ourselves.
