I never got to play most of these.

Though, after watching some of it.. Yeah, Some of it is just shitty programming in the early days to ship a product ASAP.

Imagine modern kids trying to play games like this these days. "wahhhh its too hard!!!". Damn, I need to buy up as much old-stock as I can right now, if we end up with kids they need to see what it was like to play this on original hardware, not just emulators.

I had megaman, Zelda, TMNT, a few others. I chess game too.

Mind you, this was long after the SNES was out. We didn't have a lot and I think one of my parents friends gave us the old system when they bought the new one for their kids. Also, some of these just look like copies of other games with different sprites.

Also of note: Bayou Billy isn't hard, it's broken. The EU and Japan releases were done with the correct coding that made it a tricky but very enjoyable experience. The US version is so broken that even in speedruns with people who have played it thousands of times, deaths are EXPECTED

I had, or have played, almost every game on this list.

Battletoads is def in the top 3, but I would list Zelda 1 as the hardest on the console. In the time frame that it was released: NO internet, VERY hard to get maps and guides, and the game is NOT intuitive in the least. People ranking Zelda 2 as being harder have obviously never had that shiny gold fuck of Zelda 1 thrown at them and then left to their own devices to try and make heads or tails of that mish mash of cryptic shit.

Also: Mario 2. I have NEVER beaten that fucking game, and it's not from a lack of trying.

Interesting that the author decided to make a sex metaphor given that NEStards are all permavirgins for life and would never get it.
