Hell, doubt the OP could even handle the shenanigans Rainz brought forth hourly and daily throughout UO when we had 56k modems.

Pfft. NES TMNT Underwater sewer level without using Michelangelo (glitched health that allowed him to take twice as much damage from the "seaweed" and swam slightly faster), or fighting Bebop / Rocksteady with only Raph, or the beat the Terrordome without using Leo or Donny
