Recordkeeping - Fatal Labyrinth COMPLETE
...Yeah I guess I am keeping track of stuff I finish still after all. It makes it easier to tally up.
So, here's Fatal Labyrinth, an early roguelike on the Sega Genesis that frankly does nothing worth mentioning and could easily be forgotten, except it was one of my first roguelikes and also Sega keeps putting it on every damn collection they do.
Well, I finally sat down, rolled up my sleeves, and exploited the hell out of a bug. If you take two Short Bows and alternate equipping them, your armor class drops by a point every time you swap. If you do this enough, your armor class rolls over from 0 to 99 and you become EVASION MAN, the dungeon-crawling superhero who takes damage like a wet paper sack if anything manages to hit him but is real good at not being hit.
And that was it. Something like 20 years of bashing my face against this game, and all I had to do was exploit a bug and ... uh, still die four or five times but eventually I got to the ending.
On one hand, yay. On the other, wow was that ending sequence a fat ol' fart. Don't ever let anyone tell you not to cheat on your games because it's not emotionally fulfilling, kids. Cheat your ass off if you feel like it, the journey is what you make of it in your heart.

I had to get a lot of donuts to get my ass back.

All your donuts go somewhere ELSE if I recall.
