lol, nope. A little while ago I spent the day whipping my 10 yo ass in mortal combat I. He said I was cheating with raiden lol.

That game was cake compared to Battletoads.
No game tests a boy's perserverence like Battletoads. None. |
|
That game is impossible. Watch the avgn turtles you tube video for more info.

My wife is playing now, at least got past first level.
None of them have gotten to the water hell yet. |

Battletoads on two-player, man.
Hide any sharp or throwable objects nearby. |

Think I only made it past the hover cycles a handful of times on battle toads. I remember playing the turtles too but not sure how far we got. Hard games kept us busy so the parent could run off and have sex.

For reference, this came with the two TMNT arcade games as well, kiddos beat those easily.
Now they suffer. |

There's a dude on YT that does a series call debunking the difficulty.
He breaks down how to beat that game without much effort. It's a good watch for anyone that got smoked by that game repeatedly as a kid. Debunking the Difficulty - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (NES) |

Good. It builds character. If you can conquer TMNT on NES, you can conquer the world.
|
|
|
Be sure to fire up ghosts and goblins, but don't tell them about the illusion. Then fire up mega man and let them figure out the order. Castlevania might be good to.

I could never beat the last mission in top gun. Probably because I only got to it a few times because of the carrier landing and refueling.
|
|
lol
I was just playing pac man and thinking that this was harder than modern games. Battle Toads was Fn awesome! |
|
Even as a 5 year old I knew something sucked bad about that damn water level.
Wasn’t till the internet did I know it wasn’t just me. |
|
I'm quite a bit older, but those games were really hard.
I suppose the closest analog to hard games in mainstream are the Souls series, but even those become cake after you figure out the systems and farm a levelling area for a bit. I have, however, just started playing Hell Let Loose. It is not newbie friendly lol. |
|
Never did beat TMNT, Ninja Gaiden, or WFRR.
Clash at Demonhead is another one that's frustrating. |
|
|
I could never figure out this game when I was a kid.

I bet they're worn out from doing nighttime patrols around your house.

I clearly remember my friends' birthday party going from all of us watching him play his new ninja turtles video game, to us passing the controller around and losing interest because of the fucking water level.
|
|
More like learn how to rage without any chemical supplements.
Old school video games helped kids get ready for adult levels of pissed off and frustration. |

Make sure they play it on the actual console so that when it crashes repeatedly, they can learn to appreciate the ability to save progress on modern games.
I remember doing all kinds of voodoo to make my NES games work. We did everything from blowing on the cartridge to putting it in the freezer |

View Quote Early console games used the same progression and difficulty strategies as arcade games, which were programmed to get kids to continually pump quarters into them. Most modern games have far more opportunities to save and reset rather than start all over again every time. |
