You could turn your TV off, just not your NES.

I bet decent Mario players could beat it without using items in 3 hours or less. That's just a wild guess though. Haven't really played that game since I was a kid, but I remember it not being that hard.

Battletoads was another story. My friend and I played that when we were kids, and never beat the 3rd level. (the one with the car)

To me it just seems like it would get tedious. I can't really play mario games, or most platformers for 3 hours straight - personally I like to do speedruns on them (I have a decent but not great speedrun record for Mario 3, with warps, at like 11:30 or so). Also, leaving your NES on with the TV off is a bad idea, considering how fragile those things are, if you forget that it's turned on you might stomp around the house and accidentally fuck some shit up.

blaster master is the shit. it took me 15 years till i finally beat that game. zelda 1 i beat with no guide, zelda 2 and metal gear are very hard games but i have seen them beaten without a guide before the SNES came out. the only reason i only put those three games is because of an argument between me and friends

Little know and proably little remembered.
Romance of the three kingdoms
I found that to be harder than anything else

This game was fucking cheap as shit in killing you off. Not to mention NO STATED goals or clues what so ever. At one point I killed Jason 14 times before dying again, only to realize you must light every single damn fireplace in the game ina single night.
14 years it took me to see this screen....

What? This wasn't obvious to you from the start? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Milons castle, not sure if its cuz it sucked bad or was hard but i never could get far into it.

Deadly towers... omg

Megaman 1, i was the only one i knew that could pass the first Dr. Wily boss (the sandman type guy who switched from one side of the screen to the other) but i didnt find it that hard once you understood the pattern.

Ghost and goblins was kinda hard, but i still could get to the end.

I could finish bionic commando 1 with 1 life so... no.

Lemme think... wizard and warriors was fucking hard.

Athena was hard i think.

Rygar was pretty fucking hard, remember those stupid ledges, omfg

Jaws was another one that had a reputation of being super hard but i beat it in a rent weekend.

I don't remember TMNT being *that* hard when I was younger.

But I do remember cursing at Battletoads. I don't think I even knew what the words I was saying meant, but damnit, I meant them!
