That arcade Popeye game. As a kid, I lost probably $1000 worth of quarters on that game.

Street Fighter 2010 isn't THAT hard. If you manage to build up a decent beam meter it can make certain enemies and areas cakewalks.

Now Ninja Gaiden on the other hand... the amount of trash bullshit enemies clogging up the screen in the last level is fucking masochistic.

Lol no sf2010 is way harder than ninja gaiden 1

>> No.4003048

SF2010's difficulty is honestly really fair until you get to the very last stage.

>>4002834
I don't even know where to begin. The levels in SF2010 are all insanely short (to the point where you could almost call it a boss rush) whereas most of the bullshit in Ninja Gaiden stems from having to play through an entire stage again whenever you get a game over.

No. Just, no. Street Fighter 2010 is not even hard. I beat it in a day or two (20 years ago, so I'm not certain). And I believe I could beat it regularly back then.

Some are harder than others. Most console shooters are easier than arcade/arcade ports. Not Gaiares, obviously.

Same here. I have fun playing the games but I'm only decent at best at them. I can beat a good number of old action titles on one credit or life but I still can't even 1CC Dodonpachi or Espgaluda.

I think now I'm best player in the world.
But when I got the US version...... WTF
Lifebar are gone, no 3hit kill only hit you die and lost weppon. noooo even I remember all move of enemy in this game and can pass with no damage but 1hit die are no fun after all.

No one has posted the hardest game ever yet...

The original X-com was a very hard game, well, there was this Glitch that was unknown to the developers and gamers, where the gamers would choose the hard difficulty but it would still play with the easy one .

So the developers were getting feedback that the game was too easy even in the hardest difficulty. which of course is not true but the glitch would make it appear so.

So what happened was, on their sequel, they basically made the hardest difficulty in the first game the "easy" mode for the new game, and you can imagine how the hard mode must be.

People could barely get past the first level.

As a shmup player, I definitely second this. What the fuck were they thinking? I can beat gradius 1-2 and salamander no sweat, but gradius 3 arcade is just insane. I made it to stage 4 once, and I think thats probably less than half the game

Or just play it every day for like 2 weeks, it's not that rough if you put in the practice. Mars Matrix on the other hand is a nigger and a half, I can barely beat that game after buying a good chunk of extra lives and continues in the dreamcast version
