18 year old reviews Contra for NES[views:6205][posts:68]___________________________________________ [Sep 10,2010 1:55am - quintessence_nli ""] Sadly I dont think developers ever stop coddling gamers like babies these days. I miss actually being challenged. http://gamesolderthanme.blogspot.com/2010/09/contra.html |
| ____________________________________ [Sep 10,2010 2:03am - arilliusbm ""] some hard older nes games: bennyhillifier bennyhillifier perhaps one of the most frustrating games I owned. got it in 87 as a birthday gift, and i realized i failed at life for the rest of my life because of this game: bennyhillifier |
| ___________________________________________ [Sep 10,2010 2:16am - quintessence_nli ""] Yeah its funny. Contra wasn't really that hard by comparrison. Fuckign Battletoads man.... |
| __________________________________ [Sep 10,2010 8:23am - ShadowSD ""] Hey, want to talk about challenging NES games? How about A Boy And His Blob? The whole game is based on feeding jellybeans to this blob who is temporary transformed by them to accomplish different functions. Has anyone in the history of humanity ever beaten that game? It's fun and trippy as hell but unlike with the whole Sonic/Tails thing where Tails can die an infinite amount of times, if you completely lose the blob bouncing right behind you (picture a cross between Casper The Friendly Ghost and a smiling bowling pin), you die. Oh yeah, he can't fly either and there are tons of underground caves screen after screen deep. Enjoy. |
| ____________________________________ [Sep 10,2010 8:25am - arilliusbm ""] Boy and his Blob was indeed hard. I beat it once as a kid. I have the gameboy one as well; it's even harder than the NES game, but different. Best thing about the game was the looping music throughout. What about semi challenging but incredible two player games? My vote goes to Bubble Bobble. |

| ____________________________________ [Sep 10,2010 8:32am - arilliusbm ""] the "catch up" jelly bean |
| ________________________________________ [Sep 10,2010 8:56am - AndrewBastard ""] contra with 2 players is pretty easy. Single is pretty rough. I bough A Boy and His Blob yesterday for 3 bucks. |

| ______________________________________ [Sep 10,2010 9:02am - Hungtableed ""] Most impossible retro game ever...Ghouls and Ghosts/Ghosts and Goblins or any variation of that game they came out with. fucking rediculous... |
| _________________________________ [Sep 10,2010 9:04am - stench ""] ninja gaiden. end of story |
| ________________________________________ [Sep 10,2010 9:11am - AndrewBastard ""] river city ransom....only cause i dont know how to get into the high school. |
| ____________________________________ [Sep 10,2010 9:25am - arilliusbm ""] Actually I always thought the original Metroid (lol @ iPhone auto spell changing metroid into "Negroid") was hard. Shit was long. I know people beat it... I never had the patience to beat the game until I was in highschool |
| _______________________________ [Sep 10,2010 9:33am - boxxy ""] this is awesome, and i DID beat this when i was child. |
| ___________________________________ [Sep 10,2010 9:35am - arktouros ""] arilliusbm said:(lol @ iPhone auto spell changing metroid into "Negroid") i had to confirm this...LOL |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 10,2010 9:37am - burnsy nli ""] River city ransom ruled. I think I'll set up the nes when I get home. |

| ____________________________________ [Sep 10,2010 9:44am - arilliusbm ""] another hard nes game: Adventures of Lolo |
| _________________________________________ [Sep 10,2010 9:46am - sir coughsalot ""] ive got super contra and its fucking ridiculous |
| __________________________________ [Sep 10,2010 10:33am - stench ""] also the second zelda game. adventure of link is beyond ridiculous |
| _______________________________ [Sep 10,2010 10:33am - Yeti ""] Satan's Hollow |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 10,2010 10:36am - arilliusbm ""] so many people hated Zelda 2. fuck those people. only the house with the "I am Error" man is real. |
| __________________________________ [Sep 10,2010 10:42am - stench ""] i didnt say i hated it. in fact quite the opposite. doesn't change that its just damn near impossible. "bagu is my name. take my note to river man" |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 10,2010 10:51am - arilliusbm ""] Nah, was just stating a general statement towards the game back then. kind of the same sentiment with the people that hated Mario2. yea the games were different.. but they're still solid games. |
| __________________________________ [Sep 10,2010 10:52am - stench ""] definitely agreed. also its a shame wart never made another appearance. they brought back shy guys and bob-ombs. you think they'd bring back a huge lizard with a distaste for vegetables.. |
| ___________________________________ [Sep 10,2010 10:54am - eddnlie ""] I have beat contra and superC without ever being hit by anything. My childhood was after school street football, contra, eat, do hw,then sleep. zelda 2 isn't that hard if you can figure out the trick to beating shadow link. Hardest game i've come across is castlevania 2 is impossible without some sort of guide. When i was ten how the fuck was i supposed to know that you have to take dracula's heart and kneel at the end of screen for 3 seconds so that a tornado takes you away? Another hard game is solstice. I think i beat it only once without the extra-lives cheat. |

| _____________________________________ [Sep 10,2010 11:34am - arilliusbm ""] another hard NES game: Skyshark |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 10,2010 11:36am - arilliusbm ""] also, how could we forget paperboy. game gradually got hard as it went on. fucking douchebag guys moving a glass window.. GET OUT OF THE FUCKING WAY |
| ____________________________________ [Sep 10,2010 11:50am - Spaldino ""] GUMSHOE |
| ________________________________ [Sep 10,2010 11:56am - boxxy ""] right?! what kinda dick carries glass windows accross streets.... just park the van with the glass on the SAME SIDE OF THE ROAD that you're going. sheesh. |
| _________________________________________ [Sep 10,2010 11:57am - AndrewBastard ""] i love sky shark but it does get ridiculous in later levels..and zelda 2 kicks ass but i def used a walkthru to beat it. First ninja turtle is tuff to beat....my fav sports game: tecmo bowl. |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 10,2010 12:11pm - arilliusbm ""] yea man. Ninja turtles. Fucking underwater level |
| __________________________________ [Sep 10,2010 12:17pm - stench ""] electric seaweed. the first castlevania was equally ridiculous (though probably not as bad as the second.) fucking flying medusa heads.. |
| ______________________________________ [Sep 10,2010 12:29pm - I AM ERROR ""] Zelda 2 destroys. |
| __________________________________ [Sep 10,2010 12:31pm - sxealex ""] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KlA1uwGiS4&feature=related i remember this level to be stressful as fuck on gameboy |
| __________________________________ [Sep 10,2010 12:31pm - sxealex ""] why does he walk so slow run u asshole |
| ________________________________ [Sep 10,2010 12:44pm - boxxy ""] Yea, Link was tuff to be sure... but i beat it.. i never beat zelda 1 though. i got to Gannon a bunch of times, but i never beat him. Carnov was hard as hell to beat. So was Kid Icarus. |
| _________________________________________ [Sep 10,2010 12:52pm - AndrewBastard ""] karate kid was super hard...fuck the wind level. |
| ________________________________ [Sep 10,2010 12:55pm - boxxy ""] holy crap i remember that, that was freakin impossible... i did NOT beat Karate Kid. Kung-Fu was hard on later levels too, although i did beat it. |
| _______________________________________________ [Sep 10,2010 1:12pm - IllinoisEnemaBradness ""] holy shit, t and c surf designs, i had that. Karate Kid, i remember trying in vain to catch flies with those damn chopsticks! |
| ____________________________________ [Sep 10,2010 1:37pm - arilliusbm ""] Friday the 13th game = impossible |
| _______________________________ [Sep 10,2010 1:45pm - Mutis ""] fester's quest. |
| ___________________________________ [Sep 10,2010 1:57pm - Slag NLI ""] Blaster Master = legendary. |
| _______________________________ [Sep 10,2010 2:11pm - Pires ""] Adventures of lolo was awesome. Can't remember if I beat it, but I played the shit out of that game. |
| ____________________________________ [Sep 10,2010 2:28pm - arilliusbm ""] there's 2 or 3 of them, right? Made by Hal Laboratory - same people that made Kirby. In fact, you fight "Lolo" things in Kirbys Dreamland. Another useless fact |
| ____________________________________ [Sep 10,2010 2:34pm - arilliusbm ""] Talk about easy games. Any Kirby game. Fuck, I gave my Kirbys Pinball gameboy game to one of my exes. That game ruled hard. Must play.. |
| _______________________________ [Sep 10,2010 2:38pm - Pires ""] Yep. I know of at least 3. |

| __________________________________________ [Sep 10,2010 4:38pm - largefreakatzero ""] They have Contra up at Funspot. I enjoy burning tokens and failing at this game about once a year. |
| _______________________________ [Sep 10,2010 4:48pm - boxxy ""] OMG a real arcade Contra? That would make me go broke. |
| ___________________________________ [Sep 10,2010 4:49pm - Slag NLI ""] It has been FAR too long since I have been to Fun Spot. |

| ________________________________________ [Sep 10,2010 6:57pm - AndrewBastard ""] nothing better than yourself and 3 friends all taking on TMNT the arcade game at funspot and laying the smack down....game takes like 15 mins for 4 people playing.

| _________________________________________ [Sep 10,2010 8:46pm - sir coughsalot ""] batman and shadowgate. festers quest is pretty ridiculous too. |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 10,2010 8:48pm - burnsy nli ""] Amarok, fuck... Yes! I was gonna tak about that earlier but was on my phone at work. Was that store where you could buy the merlin shit? |
| ___________________________________ [Sep 10,2010 9:41pm - amorok666 ""] I think so, it had excalibur too I think and a bunch of other sweet upgrades. Once you bought a couple of them you could kill most guys in like on hit. |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 10,2010 11:09pm - arilliusbm ""] anyone remember this game? : bennyhillifier One of the best video games ever |
