Because clearly Super C is hard. And Gradius.

[Specineff]

Jesus. Contra HC needs a game genie? It's not a cakewalk, but there's a reason why the slide makes you invincible.

I wonder if that writer needs help holding his wang when he needs to take a leak.

#5: Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! (NES)

My initial response was something like this.

[Udderdude]

List by imbacon (10/16/2006)

A little late to the party, and "imbacon" isn't exactly an authority-sounding name.

[BrianC]

Wow. That is one messed up list, especially Super Mario Land 2. Wario's Castle wasn't hard and Wario was easy.

[Stormwatch]

What, no Insector X?

I admit I suck at gaming, and I barely ever actually beat a game, yet I have beaten Megaman 1. The only hard part was the iceman stage. and theres no cheat to make that easy. This list is a joke. Now if Super Ghouls n ghosts was on there, Id give them a bit of credit. That game/series is sadistic in nature, and the whole "need the weapon to win this" is stupid.

[kengou]

What the hell? Most of these games are too hard for me, but I friggin beat Mario Land 2 when I was a kid on my GB. Who had trouble with that game?

[Gungriffon Geona]

Mario Land 2 is the easiest fuckin game ever. I don't understand how it could be on that list at all. even the Wario Boss fight isn't that hard. I beat it sooo many times as a kid. Now, Megaman 4 for Gameboy, THAT was a real pisser in the later parts.

[Dragoforce]

NES Gradius

[EinhanderZwei]

If I suck at Thunder Force then the guy who compiled this list sucks at EVERYTHING. Super C? Hard??? Contra HC? Hardest??? Never knew

And where the hell are:
- Thunder Force IV
- Battletoads
- ALL Ninja Gaiden games
- Alien Soldier
?

[The Coop]

Well, I've beaten Smash TV, Super C, Castlevania, MegaMan, Gradius, Cabal, The Last Battle, and Contra Hard Corps... all with no cheats, and multiple times. So if beating The Last Battle would make a person someone that list's author wouldn't want to meat in a dark alley, I must be damn near terror incarnate to them

[Khan]

A few wise words that have taught me well

"CHEATERS NEVER PROSPER!"

[Leandro]

This is even more fun:

"RKA is overrated, it lacks polish! It's jetpack was implemented at last minute! The game feels like SMB 3 at 1.5x speed without good physics"

Battletoads I can agree with. Ninja Gaiden games are hard, but not unbeatable, just hard as nails. TFIV? LOL - not that hard, just need practice.

My question is, where is Silkworm (NES)?

Top 10 games that you can ruin with a Game Genie

I mean, what is the fucking point of playing Super C (?!) with a Game Genie?

[Damocles]

What's the point of playing anything with a Game Genie?

[Ed Oscuro]

I use mine as a region converter

[The Coop]

I use mine as a region converter

Ditto.

[BrianC]

The irony is that I got a Genesis Game Genie to use for a region converter, but I never used it because I widened the cart slot on the top of the system and got my Genesis 1 modded with a region switch.

[Ed Oscuro]

Game Genie, grant me a wish...do something useful for a change.

Some people shouldn't breath.

[dpful]

About Castlevania:
"it was also one of the games to feature the cheap "Knock the player off the ledge as he lands" trick."

That rules

To his credit, he does imply that the list is for 8-year-olds.

Was the NES version of Gradius easier than the arcade version? I've got the Gradius collection on my PSP and, honestly, I only find one of those games even remotely easy (forgot which one). I'll admit, Gradius becomes MUCH easier if you can get fully powered up and stay that way. But, the second you die you're screwed. =/

Yeah, that's right. Amazing how Konami could keep this misbalance in all the installations

ALL Ninja Gaiden games

oh psh Ninja Gaiden is just as hard as Contra or Super C (or CASTLEVANIA lol), at least the first two. I doubt the third is much harder though

Gee. I've 1CCd Super C when I was 12 yrs old after 3 days of practice. Though I'm 21 and I STILL can't 1CC Ninja Gaiden 1-2. Looks like it's a matter of experience

[NR777]

That list is pathetic. SML 2 is one of the easiest games I have ever played.

Btw, Ninja Gaiden 3 is quite a bit harder than the first two.
