If you sucked at the arcade version that much then I will have to * at you! The NES version was horrible, not just in controls. * laugh at you so hard my eyes bleed piss and I poop myself! Meh, maybe you played on a machine with a ---smurfy--- trackball, that would make a world of difference when it comes to MM. EDIT: Or maybe you were young and playing it too much like arkanoid, thusly "over spinning" the ball, instead of focusing on precision in the moment? |

I always found Rolling Thunder very difficult but of course not unplayable... And one of my favorite games Gun Smoke is also very hard, I always get tired by all the button clicking and then I miss... I think I have come to that Ninja without using continue.. Arcanoid is also very hard but this is probably due to, I never had the spinner... The incorrect joystick. spinner, trackball and so on is often the reason why it's unplayable. And Space Shuttle on Atari 2600... |

Sure the 2600 had some dodgy ports but Double Dragon was an abomination....That, and the graphics will make your eyes bleed. --- End quote --- That immediately comes to mind when mentioning the 2600 in so late an era. Christ almighty. Marble Madness only has seven boards, by the way, and time can get short real easy, but everyone should be able to get to the third board even with a joystick. Without cheats I've gotten to the fifth board once or twice, I think. I have a trackball, but only one, so when playing with another person, or just for shits an giggles, I've used a stick and, like in 270 racing games, there's a technique. You cannot use it continously, but have to push and baby-tap. --- Quote from: leapinlew on June 15, 2009, 05:33:03 pm ---some people (myself included) struggle with Crazy Climber. Zwackery is near impossible without the right controls. --- End quote --- Zwackery does really need the right controls. Crazy Climber is a little tricky, but I've made it to the third scraper several times. --- Quote --- Not in the arcade... but there is a Really insanly hard game for Sega Genesis. (and it Should have been in the arcades) "Target Earth" --- End quote --- I guess I'm just a hard-ass when it comes to this kind of thing, but all these invasion deals are just ridiculous. If you want it gone, then you drop a planet buster on it...or do something similar like in Greg Bear's novel THE FORGE OF GOD. If you want to take it over, then nano's the best way to go. Safe, and you just let it do all the work. |

Arkanoid (arcade w/spinner) wins this one for me. I am not sure if I can ever get better at it. |

I don't think there is an arcade game that holds a candle to Double Dragon for the Atari 2600 with regard to difficulty right off the bat. If anyone reading this has never tried it, get an emulator and fire it up. Better yet, have a friend try it and sit back and laugh as he gets mercilessly throttled by the first two guys; completely helpless to do anything about it. I had my nephew try it once and laughed myself to tears. |
