No! Wait!
Do not adjust your equipment. This is legit. I actually completed the course in #OutRun!
I'm 95% sure that this has never happened before, in nearly 40 years of trying, on countless platforms...
Is the #GameBoyAdvance "#SEGA Arcade Classics" version famously easy? Because this was my first attempt. Something's not right here!

I've owned this game as long as the machine but it's aeons since I played it. This is the new(ish) rotary control-enabled version, part of the compilation "Spin Cart 2" from Binary Star Software.
A spinner does indeed make things easier... but not that much!

#TurnsOutImStillCrapAt "Cannon Fodder" - #SNES
Although perhaps getting less crap, since a friend @yesterzine let me in on the little secret that this version works with a mouse. After five minutes of rummaging, I was in business.
Note the "surfboard" thigh-mounted mousemat, comfortably pushing the SNES itself into second place on the "Most #90s Thing In This Photo" hiscore table.

"Knightlore" by Ultimate.
Although, in my defence, I've never played it on #Amstrad #CPC464 before. Still utterly maddening - how anyone ever got beyond the first few screens is a mystery to me!

Even six buttons is not enough to control a combat helicopter, it transpires...

#TurnsOutImStillCrapAt a game I'd never even played before.

Resurrected a poorly #Commodore C-1311 by cannibalising a dead #Atari CX-40.
Yes, "Why?" is a fair question... It was there. 😉
