The would have to be the first castlevania that game just to hard for me to beat. No matter how hard I tried I just could not beat that game. The nes had a lot of games that where extremely hard to beat and that was one of them.

well home alone for starters lol, if only i knew what the object of it is,,

same problem with snes version , i cant figure where and what to do , plus majority of nes games had no saving option so you were screwed if your tired of playing it ,, so lets p ut it this way all nes games are hard except zeldas ,, because you have an option to save your progress ,,

Link (the second zelda). It was pretty bad, and the sword was pretty small.

Donkey Kong

F-15 Strike Eagle (it's impossible in ace mode)

xexyz......even though many people haven't heard of it, I can't beat it to this day. I would have to sit down and really focus in order to beat it. Has anyone else here ever heard of it?

Battletoads. Some glitch where I'd hover above the ground if I moved the D-pad too fast or something.

I've still never beaten Mission: Impossible, and that fact bothers me to this day. I was stuck on the 3rd level for 6 years. Seriously, 6 years. Levels 4 and 5 were easy in comparison, but then I got stuck on 6, and... :cry:

id say Contra (without cheating), Ninja Gaiden games were always really hard too. blastermaster was a pretty hard game too, but beatable.

Who is Framed Roger Rabbit?- I failed to beat last boss before I found out Gamefaqs.

The Adventure of Bayou Billy- it was really hard. I failed to beat it without my NES Advantage. Slow motion hurt my hand because I used light gun. x/

DeafNYCPlayer

I never beat "Who Framed Roger Rabbit Either", lol. I remember being at someones house watching them play it (some time in the early 90's), and they were trying to dial the 1-900 number to answer a riddle at the end so that Jessica (I think) wouldn't die in that factory.

It was a lot more difficult to game back then, because you had to figure things out on your own, instead of using a faq (which I admittidly use nowadays). Just wondering, did anyone else find Toon Town to be really creepy when you were younger?

i never could beat goonies. an awful game that was. also friday the 13th. i never really could figure out what to do in either of those. i remember getting stuck in goonies and not being able to get any further and i searched EVERYWHERE in that game. the original metal gear for nintendo also.... i think these games were impossible on purpose.

In my NES game collection, I have only finished about 4. The controls are not too sensitive, that may be the reason.

Almost all of them. I got close with Battletoads and Zelda II but always got stuck. Couldn't get to the end of Micro Machines either.

My case are the following games:

1. Battletoads - No matter how hard I tried I could never beat it

2. Ninja Gaiden 1 - The final boss was very hard and if you died you had to start from a loooooong way that frustrated me

3. Ghost and Goblins - Hard, very hard!

1. Rush and Attack

2. Bionic Commando

3. Golgo 13: Top secret episode - One of my favorite NES games. I made it to the final boss numerous times but I could never beat him.

4. Punchout- Bald Bill was the farthest I ever got

5. Spyhunter

6. Batman- The joker is unbeatable in the final battle:lol:

7. The Magic of Scheherazade- Great game that deserves a remake!

8. Battletoads

9. Who framed Roger Rabbit

10. Friday the 13th- So hard you'll pull your hair out!:cry:
