Nov 2006 at 21:17 The stage select in Ghosts 'N Goblins is mandatory; unless you want to go through hell twice. My philosophy is this: if it can be done within the game, it's fair game.

Battletoads and G'N'G are both beatable with a little repetitious practice, they shouldn't be considered when there are so many games out there that are much more difficult. The only difference is that the two above are actually fun whereas most really tough games lick.

I've never heard of anyone beating Overlord legitimately so, until I do, that is my nomination.

I nominate Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I have beat it before, but on an emulator, and I used save states, which means I cheated. This game is extremely hard, as the enemy respawn rate when you get to Level 4 and 5 is ridiculious.

I beat this game today actually, on real NES without any cheats. I didnt even use a contunie and i still had all turtles alive when i was done

The game can be frustrating sometimes, but i dont find it that hard. I had to try 4-5 times during the last couple of days before i made it all the way through. Getting the boomerang and scroll/beam weapon will help you alot on the the 2 last missions, Technodrome and inside the Technodrome. The lazerguys in the narrow hallway at the end is incredible hard without the scroll weapon. If u get hit you will fall back and you're unlucky another lazerguy will respawn. Suddently the hallways are crawling with them hehe.

man i have to beat battletoads if its the last thing i ever do lol. i got the game brand new when it came out and i was like 7 or 8 years old. and to this day have only ever got past the (jet ski) level once lol. i just cant do it. its so freakin hard. espcially with 2 people. but i think it can be done. ive just never had the nerve to sit and try it for more than an hou or so. plus i always thought the lolo games were kinda tough. never beat any of those. but the thing is with a lot of games for the NES they can be beat if you play em endlessly but i get bored playing games like lolo for more than an hour or so. so its hard to tell which games are the hardest or which games we just got tired of playing and never beat lol?

Double Dragon 3 is problematic because of the controls. They're unresponsive. Angry

Don't you hate it when you jump to do the spin kick, but it doesn't work? Especially with people surrounding you.

Anyway, yeah, I beat that, too. If you're playing 1 player there is this trick: select 2-players have the second player die blinking, but before he disappears, talk to Brett. Now try to keep your partner alive. Defeat all the enemies, then have your partner exit first followed by you. Now you should be alone, but able to select both players. Grin

Yep

I never found DD3 that hard actually. The only place in the game that really sux is in Egypt when you have to do alot of jumping. If you dont make the jump you will lose your player. The last boss (not the mummies) can also be alittle frustrating. Other than that is fairy easy imo.

I don't think I found that out until I already beat it.

Funny you should say that; I just beat it - first without warps, then 8 times through + the extra worlds. "Too hard" - ha!

Frustrating? Yes, Angry

& I didn't even have a save option. Tongue
