Ok, I just beat Contra III and Super Castlevania IV using ZSNES. How in the F*** were you supposed to beat those games on the original console without save states?! Holy SH**! Anyone out there ever beat those games on the original console?......Liars!

With Practice.

Exactly. On the other hand, most people playing a game for the first time will find things hard initially.. and then find it much easier the next time around when they figure critical things out.

I used to beat Contra 3 with a friend up to 3 times in a row, in hard mode.

Haha, this reminds me of that knight/zombie game that had no saves in it. Anyone know what game I'm talking about, my memory is failing me.

Super Ghouls N' Ghosts?

No, it's just that you suck, and most games these days are piss easy.

Yep, although there are games that are unnecessarily hard that even I need savestates to beat. Super Ghouls n Ghosts and Axelay are two.

Remember, when you bought a game back then and it was a platformer, you'd probably want it pretty hard. Otherwise, you wouldn't be getting your money's worth if it only took you a few tries to beat it.

Axelay is nothing compared to Perfect Cherry Blossom.

Contra 3 was pretty easy

Jezz I beat it on the original console. You're just so buttered up with new games that don't have any consequences when you die. Like for gears of war you can just have your other team mate revive you if you die. It really kills any kind of challenges they throw at you in the game.

Like Battle Toads... now THAT'S a hard game.

Or Megaman I... wait, that's not a game... games are fun... games don't make you want to kill people...

Axelay was easy :/ I bet you were just too reliant on one particular weapon. My favorite combination is the needle cracker, round vulcan, and macro missles.

Sayy since you're here Gideon is SRW worth playing? I'm not too big on strategy stuff but the whole mecha dealy looks kind of interesting. Plus I've watched a couple of series that I noticed in your neat preview video.

The Original Generation Series is good, but HARD. At least until you get the hang of it, I recommend you to play OG1 first, for the story and so you don't get spoiled from OG2's better battle animation.

If you are going to play OG1, play through Ryusei's route, it's easier.

Oh that's right.. I forgot there was a gameboy advance one. Ah thanks for the info Joe. I'll probably take a spin with the interweb version before I decide to buy the game.

Lies! All of it. When Mario 3 came out I was all ready for a rampage. I love the game but my first times playing it were frustrating.

Let's exclude F-ZERO GX (Very hard, Master modes) here, shall we?

No, more like it forces you through tight spaces full of weird enemies, and has no powerups to speak of. It's nothing like a typical SHMUP that just throws craploads of the same, easy to see shit right in front of you. Those are easy. Levels 4 and 5 in Axelay just tear me up. It's not the hardest shooter, but it's not easy.

None of you have ever played one of the Touhou Project shmups?

I have an impossible time trying to beat super gouls & ghosts.

Umihara Kawase gets on your nerves at times.

Never beat Contra III on hard mode, but I came darn close. (Lost my last life just after setting off a bomb that killed the final boss...)

As far as hard games go, I'd put Gradius III on master (or was it impossible?) mode near the top. THAT game was unforgiving.
And the final (hidden) boss of Demon's Crest is crazy hard too. You had to have the semi-secret "Ultimate" form to even get to fight him...and good luck beating him.

Modes that I totally own.

Eh, beating the Dark Demon isn't too hard.. it's just a matter of having four full health potions. After that it jut becomes a battle of attritrion.
