Are all the ninja gaiden games actually beatable?

I thought I'd read or heard somewhere that one of them (probably 2) could not even be beaten.

I remember renting Ninja Gaiden back in the late 80s.  Fun and tough.

I think Timelord was by far the hardest.  I could not pass level 4 (I think, it's been a while).

Timelord has to be the only game I never passed for the NES.

Deadly Towers is that unique combination of difficult *and* poorly designed.


Yep, Deadly Towers is ridiculous.  They tried to pack way too much into that game and were way ahead of their time with it. 

Give someone in the N64 era the plans for that game and it would have turned out well.  But the NES just couldn't handle it.

Yeah, when thinking about pain, then Ninja Gaiden definitively comes to mind. There're a bunch of Famicom games utterly frustrating too, such as Valis or the two Transformers games.

Turtles 1 going through that last hallway before Shredder.  It's actually not that bad once you got it down (using that scroll weapon).  The first several times you play it though, good luck.  Also getting to and defeating the Technodrome was pretty hard too.

You can't argue with battletoads. with 1 player it's hard, but with 2, it's virtually unplayable. What does that Ipad case 2 stuff have to do with my post? Huh

I think deadly towers and turtles are quite harder and the worst games I have ever played.

I'm just gonna say the Adventure of Link since I don't think anyone has mentioned it yet. Even the little enemies do some pretty intense attacks (like that boomerang throwing bastard)

But if I have to make a solid decision I'd say Super Mario Bros. 2j: the Lost Levels. That game frustrates me a lot.

Holy Diver. Much more difficult than BattleToads. It's just it's so obscure no one has played it. It's for the Famicom. Good luck finding the game... If you want the game on an NES cartridge, just go to The NES Dump and look under "Translations" or "Translated Famicom" (I forget which)... Anyway, it's extremely hard and it requires precision timing, skill, memorization, and honestly, lots of trial and error.

My vote is going to be Ninja Gaiden. One thing that really pissed me off was dying on Malth and being sent back 4 stages. After the battle with Malth the stages get insanely difficult. To me at least.
