This is the one game that auto fire actually hurts you. . It will shorten your weapon reach, and weakens the hit.

Level up on the robot stage. They will spawn quickly and are worth a lot of exp. You will be full power the rest of the game.

The final boss can be 90% killed with attack and assail.

The first boss is easily the hardest. The tiger headed guy.

And this one:



Tough as nails action game.


FTL, Easy is hard in most games


And finally, the hardest game yet:

Man. Finally beating Alma on like the 20th attempt felt good.

That's the only boss I remember from that game, which I played like 17 years ago or something.

I was probably 8 years old when I played it. Was very hard at that time, and I believe I got stuck because I threw away Dynamite which was needed to access one of the first dungeons. Also, the dungeons at the time were big confusing mazes; easy to get lost. But this game was awesome, especially for the time.

Fiance has a Nintendo Switch, and with the membership you get a free NES and SNES emulator with free games.

NES Ninja Gaiden is on there. Hard as **** just as I remember but still fun as hell.

Great soundtracks on that game.

Yep. Great game.



I haven't played any games in years, so these games may be easy for you guys.

My picks:

Ikaruga





Chakan: The Forever Man




Kid Niki Radical Ninja (later levels)


The Contra sequels. I can beat the first one easily. The later ones kick my ass.



P.S. As a kid I bought an Atari game called Swordquest (i think) at a yard sale. It was some sort of dungeon/puzzle game. You would make it through a laser maze and an item like a boot or a lamp would pop up in your inventory. No clues about what they were much less how to use them. I spent an entire summer trying to figure out WTF was going on in this game. I even bought a couple of funky controllers to see if that was the problem. 20 years later I looked the game up online - turns out it was game one in a series designed as part of a national competition and you needed a comic book published in ****ing 1982 to solve the damn thing.


P.P.S. I'm convinced that Top Gun on the NES was some sort of Cold War Ender's Game invented by the Reagan administration.

a lot of atari games were complicated like that. I had the indiana Jones RoLA game and it was a 1 player game that required two controllers to play. one controller controlled the player. the other controlled the inventory. and there was no mention of that game mechanic in the instruction book.



the sword quest history is interesting

I think I owned that game. If I didn't, I played it at a friends house. I had no idea it took two joysticks. I remember having no clue what was going on on the screen. "Hey, is that a bullwhip?" " Nope, I'm a snake. You're dead. " I also remember Indy randomly falling Wile. E. Coyote style. It was just incomprehensible.

In fairness, I was very young and I was playing it on a tiny black and white tv.
