No energy tanks, no passwords, and unrefined controls make the original Mega Man harder than many of its successors, despite the fact that the pure content in a game like Mega Man 3 is arguably designed to be more challenging. You are able to defend yourself, but unless you have a turbo controller, be prepared to constantly mash the attack button just to have a chance to inch your way forward.
By their design, these flight style side-scrolling action games are intended to be hard. However, Silver Surfer takes that concept to a whole new level.

Battletoads Yes, we all know that Battletoads legendary speed bike level is the shining single example of NES difficulty and one of those pieces of shared misery that make this era in difficult gaming so special.
Mega Man The game that is sometimes credited for ushering in a new era of NES difficulty impressively manages to remain one of the hardest NES games ever despite years of worthy challengers. Silver Surfer By their design, these flight style side-scrolling action games are intended to be hard. Some missions require you to play perfectly and get extremely lucky, or lose half of your warriors in one fell swoop.
My friends and I would take turns trying to clear it on an old laptop, laughing about the absurd difficulty and insane amount of spikes on floors, walls, little squares in the air, and so on. The great difficulty has made it a popular game to speedrun, with the record sitting at 30m31s at the time of writing. This might be a controversial opinion, but I think Bloodborne is easier than Dark Souls by a long shot.
The sheer amount of enemy projectiles on screen at any given time is telling of the kind of bullet hell this is. There may be countless bullets on screen, but their patterns are gorgeous. Be careful not to get distracted! Try to keep going at least until you race through the Turbo Tunnel. If I had to contend with this level of difficulty as a kid, I might have given up on gaming altogether. Only months after Super Mario Bros. The original sequel was more like an expansion, playing almost exactly like its predecessor, but featuring much more challenging levels meant to keep SMB veterans busy for a long time.
Whereas you can memorize the patterns for almost every boss in Touhou, Mushihimesama will force you to think on the fly and put your reflexes to the test. Exploring the fallen kingdom of Boletaria and discovering the secrets of the Nexus is a timeless experience that already has everything that made Dark Souls so popular. Make sure to check out the remake on the PS5 if you can. It takes the grinding associated with many RPGs and kicks it up to the nth level. Also, the randomization of the battle sequences is a mess.
Feeling the need for speed? Stick to the movie. You really need to get used to the mechanics of the game. All this because the protagonist followed his frog down a hole and met some radioactive mutant monsters? Do you know the famed Konami Code? With the code, you get 30 lives, and you might need most, if not all, of them to beat the game. What we do mind, though, is Death Mountain.
Chris Morgan 6 days ago. Scientists search your sewage for clues. Hong Kong bans transit flights from over countries. Ad Microsoft. Refinance Rates at 2. Calculate your rate now. Here is a video of how much harder this game gets. Everything moves atleast 4 times as fast. The game does not end after two playthroughs.
The game prompts you to continue after you beat it twice, there are confirmed third, fourth, and fifth playthroughs. Im on the fourth playthrough right now and getting through level 1 was almost impossible Skip to to see what I am talking about.
A lot of games seem hard until you master them. Battletoads: I had several friends who could just wizz right through it and laugh at people who got stuck on the speeder levels like me. The first Mega Man is a breeze after a week of sticking with it. Using the trainer code, I had Contra down to a game where I would lose only lives by the end.
Abadox was one of the first games I was proud to beat in front of my friends. My cousin used to beat Kid Icarus just to show off a better score.
My 5th grade best friend would beat TMNT just for the challenge. Those are all games you can master. There's the gauntlet on hard NES games. I don't understand the issues with either Double Dragon 3, or Top Gun. I can easily beat DD3 every time I play it. You just need to know what character and what moves to use.
As for top gun. I know why everyone fails at landing on the aircraft carrier.. I only see 2 games that could be considered for this list and they are megaman and battletoads. When i used to play as a kid i remember i finished well over games. Among the hardest ones i believe should be on this list are Double Dragon 2, Ninja Gaiden, Kid Icarus just to name a few. Alot of people say teenage mutant ninja turtles but i beat it 2 weeks after it was released.
Yes it was hard, but not undoable, especially if you load all your characters up on the scroll weapon for the final stages. I am with you on Battletoads. Even with an emulator, it's terrible. What do you find the hardest parts?
Mine are the rat race and the spinning wheels. However, as it's mentioned below, Castlevania was the hardest game I've ever played, at least for the amount of hours I put in vs.
I've played all of these. They are quite difficult, IMHO. My god, CaDM is f'n ridiculous. Not to mention Bionic Commando. Granted I have beaten all of these except Clash.
