- antob, on 02/01/2008, -0/+124Someone take out the server, blow on it, and put it back on.
- Shawn4168, on 02/01/2008, -1/+62Most of these games have been covered by the Angry Video Game Nerd, but he talks about them in a much more entertaining and coherent way than this blog does.
- doshindude, on 02/01/2008, -1/+56Silver Surfer...
Touch the ceiling you die, touch the floor you die, too far to the left you die, too far to the right you die, you Die, you Die, Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die DIE! - GhostyBoy, on 02/01/2008, -2/+50Am I the only one who can't get enough of these old shcool nes and snes articles?
- koach, on 02/01/2008, -2/+48No 'Chip N' Dale : Rescue Rangers'? I think I poured more time or my youth into that game than any other. Fat Cat was a cheating bastard! Dugg for TMNT, though. The underwater level where you had to defuse the bombs was a bitch.
- ledguitar, on 02/01/2008, -1/+45Site is a bit slow so here is the list:
#10 - Top Gun
#9 - Bart vs. the Space Mutants
#8 - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
#7 - Yo! Noid
#6 - The Karate Kid
#5 - Double Dragon 3: The Sacred Stones
#4 - Mega Man
#3 - Ghosts n Goblins
#2 - Battletoads
#1 - Silver Surfer - yohnstoppable, on 02/01/2008, -6/+45This list was pretty crappy, actually. Double Dragon 3 was difficult, but not as much as many others. Mega Man's 1-3 were much more difficult than 4. No Mission Impossible? No Ninja Gaiden? No Friday the 13th? Punch Out? Bionic Commando? Contra without the Konami code?
- FSUCHEEF, on 02/01/2008, -2/+36Finally glad to see Bart vs. Space Mutants on one of these list
I could beat the first level but could never make the jump over the wet concrete at the beginning of level 2 - Phocion55, on 02/01/2008, -3/+37Dugg for Battletoads. Racing that rat down to the bomb made my blood pressure skyrocket when I was little.
- kavery, on 02/01/2008, -0/+28I got grounded when I was 10 and beat DuckTales as my mom walked into the room when I exclaimed 'That's ***** it?!'
- bigsquirrely, on 02/01/2008, -3/+28I am glad to say I have beat six of these games but I could not tell you how many hours I spent on Battle Toads. That game made my soul bleed during the hover bike level
- vondrak, on 02/01/2008, -5/+28I'm a little disappointed to read this about top gun
"It's based off of a corny 80's movie."
That would be like saying Bart vs. the Space Mutants is based off some animated animated show.
BTW you can be my wingman anytime! - shyner, on 02/01/2008, -0/+22i'd have put Ninja Gaiden at number one. Still can't beat that damn game.
- DrGizmondo, on 02/01/2008, -2/+23ahh Battletoads and The Silver Surfer, I have no idea how much time i put into these games, but they didnt get the better of me. I wonder just how many people out there just gave up on then.
- MasterOfSwords, on 02/01/2008, -0/+19It mentions Mega Man in 4th position not Mega Man 4 itself. You can see the screenshot is indeed from the original not 4.
- inactive, on 02/01/2008, -0/+16Shadowgate? (maybe i am the only one that had that game)
- AndrewDB, on 02/01/2008, -0/+15Nah, he got over that, now he's still weeping about how bad his movie was.
- Oktoeatfish, on 02/01/2008, -0/+15Dugg for Mega Man. ***** that game. I mean I love it and the series, but that game...damn I'm getting mad thinking about Wily's castle.
- ohnnyj, on 02/01/2008, -0/+14Back to the Future should be on this list.
I couldn't get past the Diner scene. Others have said they did but I am skeptical. I still think there is nothing beyond this point in the game. - Namaha, on 02/01/2008, -0/+14Solomon's Key should be there.
In fact why not just make the list twice as big. The NES era was so much harder than the easiness being spewed out of video game factories today. - rayefrenzy, on 02/01/2008, -0/+13Needs more Blaster Master. That game was as hard as balls.
The music was ***** amazing, though. - Culero, on 02/01/2008, -2/+15*saves state*
*reloads state*
*pets emulator* - christoast, on 09/04/2008, -1/+14Battletoads
- inactive, on 02/01/2008, -1/+13Maybe?
- tendonut, on 02/01/2008, -0/+12Even the Silver Surfer is crying over how ***** that game was.
- midoritsuru, on 02/01/2008, -2/+14There's one game not on this list, probably because it's little known--Snake Rattle n Roll is one of the toughest NES games ever, far more difficult than it looks.
- twoboxen, on 02/01/2008, -2/+13Cobra Triangle anyone??? that game was hard as hell.
- qbelek2, on 02/01/2008, -0/+11Ask again later
- pb3623, on 02/01/2008, -0/+11Great concept but poor writing. "Far more superior" as opposed to less superior?
Five words for the author: A Boy And His Blob. If you lost the strategy guide or the case you rented from Phar-Mor was missing the list of jellybean flavors, the only things you could make were a ladder and a anvil. Sadly, both have only a limited usefulness in both the video game and real worlds. - cr4ft, on 02/01/2008, -1/+12What???? No Dr. Jekyll And Mr. Hyde????
Didn't anyone see the review by the Angry Nintendo Nerd? YOU JUST DIE FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6M_4Yqk65f8 - Waxx, on 02/01/2008, -3/+13I see a lot of people upset about the list and that there were other harder games for the NES. The fact of the matter is NES had tons of hard games, mostly due to their poor and hurried concept and design. Games these days are tailored with tutorial levels and hints throughout the early portions of the game. The NES had none of that. If you didn't have the instruction booklet, you were left to figure the game out on your own, without any forgiveness. Early gamers had to be extremely diligent in order to prevail through some of the world’s most difficult games.
- imikedaman, on 02/01/2008, -1/+11If anyone doesn't know the reference, it's the Angry Video Game Nerd:
http://www.gametrailers.com/player/20300.html
Here are his other videos: http://www.screwattack.com/AngryNerdMain.html - INDOAZZ, on 02/01/2008, -0/+10"Ghosts n Goblins" TRULY RULED the 8bit era
- capiCrimm, on 02/01/2008, -0/+9I think his point was that he *didn't* beat Battle Toads, but six other games.
- AndyStitzer, on 02/01/2008, -0/+9The code prevents contra from being on this list. Did anyone actually play contra without the code?
- saranagati, on 02/01/2008, -0/+9Crap its 1998 again? I better go stock up on ammo again for Y2K
- dafragsta, on 02/01/2008, -0/+8Ninja Gaiden was crazy ***** hard.
- Shambla, on 02/01/2008, -1/+9We will never speak of the hover bike level again...
- skyshock1, on 02/01/2008, -0/+7Double Dragon 3? MY ASS. I'll give them Ghouls and Ghosts though.
Ninja Gaiden was ***** IMPOSSIBLE. The original Metal Gear was pretty rough too. - chancesarent, on 02/01/2008, -1/+8Outlook not so good
- unearth, on 02/01/2008, -0/+7With ZSNES you can just hit TAB to rewind about 10 seconds. Not the proper way to play, but I'd sooner slam my dick in a door than play Silver Surfer without being able to do it.
- skyshock1, on 02/01/2008, -1/+8Shady memory? WTF you talking about? I just pulled out that cartridge about a year ago, and the game saves from 1988 I had on there were STILL there almost a decade later.
- pooper, on 02/01/2008, -0/+7Well, most of these games were just cheap and horribly designed. And although, they are console games, many games at the time were designed to steal as many quarters from you as possible. So, they give you few lives/energy, lots of instant death traps/obstacles, respawning enemies, and crippled controls.
- darkstar07, on 02/01/2008, -0/+7Jackal had to be one of the hardest for me to beat, the boss at the end was just insane, bullets all over the screen.
- cerealjynx, on 02/01/2008, -0/+6Links dead but I'm just gonna say NO DEADLY TOWERS!?
Seriously, it was the first NES game I had. ***** that game. - Tyr86, on 02/01/2008, -0/+6My nemesis! It's ok to have duplicates, or is it?
- AndrewDB, on 02/01/2008, -0/+6Anyone remember how damn hard some of the California Games events were?
- smrekar, on 02/01/2008, -1/+7seriously! Eff this game, even game genie couldnt help.
- camino262, on 02/01/2008, -0/+6I spent hours trying to land that stupid F-14 in Top Gun. I think I only made it to stage 3 in the game using a regular controller. Don't even get me started on TMNT or any of the Mega-Man games.
- bobartig, on 02/01/2008, -0/+6Friday the 13 was intensely unfun to play. Repetitive, random, with brutally punishing game design, and often seemingly unavoidable damage. Even with the best weapon in the game, Jason seems unkillable a lot of the time. I have no idea how hard the game becomes later on, because there was just no reason to keep playing.
