How about we change that to any Konami game without the Konami code. Those old Konami games were would ream anybody with a broomstick.

I think we have a winner. That sh*t just isn't possible for a normal human being. I'm not ashamed to say that Contra caused my first broken controller and was actually the first game I completely smashed to sh*t in anger, which is something I rarely do to an actual game

I never had a problem beating Contra without the Konami Code. Sure, it took me a lot of tries and continues to do it, but I eventually got the job done.

However, to my shame, I could never get past the speeder stage in Battletoads.

I'd have to call you a liar. That game is impossible. It can't be done.

I understand the disbelief, but I did do it. It took me a loooong time to accomplish it, though. I played the game for over two months, trying to get the right strategies for the right levels and bosses. My brain was fried when I made it.

Battletoads, for the NES. Stupendously difficult during solo play, absolutely impossible when two players team up. 'Hardest game I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing, anyway.

If you're a Battletoads fan, check it out.

The first game that caused me to smash a controller was Mega Man 3. That game can eat sh*t and die.

What is this challenge you speak of?

Ninja Gaiden 3 NES (US version, yes the Japanese version was much easier)- not only are the enemies really annoying many are really hard to kill without the sword extension. Not to mention the overdamage in this version, the lowest damage you could take was 2 out of your 16 bars of health and in the later levels no enemy did such small damage.
Ghost 'n Goblins NES- Yes I've heard that Super Ghosts n' Ghouls was harder but to me this game was just insane. Took me such a long time to get anywhere in this game and then after I finally complete the game the first time you have to beat it AGAIN and it's harder than before.
Hudson's Adventure Island NES- After playing this game for so many years and unlimited continues I have came nowhere near completion of this insanely hard game. The beginning isn't so bad but then you get to the later levels where you might end up having to go through the entire level without a weapon if you die.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles- Ah the insane frustration this game causes so many people. Donatello and Leonardo were the only useful turtles in this game. Donatello is probably the best but a lot of times the angle that Leonardo attacks from can prove more useful. You start out up against medium difficult enemies in the first two levels. Then when you hit 3 and 4 it starts to become quite difficult. The enemies do more damage and are harder to kill. Then comes 5 which when I first played I couldn't believe how hard the enemies had became. They all become fast and aggressive and take many hits to kill. You have to take out the Technodrome as a boss which does massive damage and takes many many hits to defeat. Then what you thought couldn't get any harder does. Inside the technodrome not only includes the nightmare of some nearly undefeatable enemies (god damn flying guys with lasers) but if you lose a turtle anywhere you have to start all the way at the beginning of it.


BTW, how did you get levels A-D in Super Mario 2 Japan? I beat the game completely in Allstars but that version is easier. Then I just beat 8-4 just for fun in the NES version that I have which has stage select and after I beat world 9 it ends. Also with MegaMan 3, who else noticed Flashman Docbot's uber glitch hax where he can void your invincibility period and hit you multiple times?

My three favorite games to curse at were the ones that were just mentioned.

Battletoads, Ninja Gaiden and Contra.

Proud to say, I can beat Contra without the Konami Kode. I'm sure I can plow through it without a continue.

I'm still working on the others.

I never managed to finish Tetris.

And SNES Asterix - for some odd reason, there was no possibility to save your game. Thus, you had to play the whole game at once... or to start from the very beginning everytime you lost.
