i grew up playing games a few generations before the snes. to this day i do not find nes games difficult. i can beat most games between 1 sitting and a few days. i find 3d games on my ps3 much easier. it seems that while some of the modern games require some trial and error, i do not own a single game i have not beat. perhaps i still find nes games easy because i never stopped playing them. at one point they weren't that difficult and now they are rather easy. am i the only one who can beat contra with 1-2 lives? =/

I grew up with N64, but NES games are not that difficult for me. It's mostly trial and error. games today are a bit too easy imho...
I've beat contra before without losing a life

A lot of classic Nintendo games are designed to be really hard. You could practice and get better at them, or play puzzle games like Tetris or RPG games

Well, I'm a pretty hardcore gamer when it comes to platformers and retro games, I always make sure to finish what I start.

But anyway I can recommend Super Mario Bros 3.

Some personal favourites:

-Battle City
[You are a tank shooting other tanks trying to defend what a appears to be an eagle from getting hit, with coop and a map editor]

-Paper Boy
[Deliver the newspapers to the correct houses avoiding dogs, cars and even death himself]

-Chip n Dale Rescue Rangers
[A platformer where you defeat enemies by picking boxes and throwing them, made by Capcom so expect some difficulty]

-Gun Nac
[A shooter where you Shoot everything that it moves, with pretty big power up system (I hope you like carrots)]

-Adventure of lolo / Eggerland series
[A puzzler where you have to get all the hearts and reach the chest before getting hit by monsters]

-The Flintstones: Rescue of Dino and Hoppy / Surprise at dinosaur peak
[Both made by Taito, Hit enemies with your club and reach the end of the stage (protip: hold a to hang from cliffs and then up reach upper platforms

That's all that i think of right now and i think they are pretty easy (IMO)

Legend of Zelda 2 - I remeber beating this game 3 times in 1 day but I don't recall it took more no more then 4 hours (combined) to accomplish this.

I call bullshit on this. beating adventure of link three times in under four hours? Maybe if you cheat, or skip large parts of the game using glitches.

U call bs lol it was long ago & the time might be as pin-point-accurate as some may want it to be but it's not too far off plus that was 12+years ago I did this when all I did was go to school and play video games lol

I just based that on that if you do the fastest recorded speed run three times, it comes up to 3 hours, 23 minutes and 9 seconds. (and that's not a 100% beating either).

Didn't mean to offend, but it just sounded like exaggerated boasting ... But sure it's not at all impossible :) Sorry that I came off as a jerk!

I played the original Zelda all the way through without dying (single sitting), but never could beat my shadow in Zelda II.

Actually theres a cheap trick to beat your shadow in Z2...
I don't think I want to know this, since I have the game on my 3DS now... But I'll keep it in mind if I ever get super frustrated trying again. Haven't gotten that far yet though. Almost there, but I rarely get time to play it anymore.
