CT 17 Member · Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Hello everyone. I just beat Mike Tyson in Punch Out and I am looking for the next NES challenge. Here’s a few I thought of, let me know if you suggest anything else. Beat Contra w/o Konami code (no cheats) Beat Ninja Gaiden (no cheats) Beat Ghouls and Ghosts (twice w/ no cheats) Beat SMB3 (no cheats) Beat Battletoads (no cheats) Beat SMB1 (no warps and no cheats) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sumez 2,123 Member · Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Ninja Gaiden no continues is a real fun one! Not sure if you consider those cheats or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
final fight cd 65 Member · Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 (edited) several years ago a twitch stream beat every nes game on stream. here is a partial list of his 10/10 difficulty ratings along with how long it took him to beat it. he definitely didn't use any cheats, i'm pretty sure he didn't use any guides, and i am almost positive he didn't use save states for practice. i know i don't have the patience to grind 37 hours to learn a 4 level game. ikari warriors without cheats - 37 hours cobra triangle - 12 hours athena - 17 hours bump n jump: 19 hours high speed: 28 hours miracle piano: 91 hours championship pool: 38 hours star force: 9 hours Edited August 28, 2022 by final fight cd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Code Monkey 1,613 Member · Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 This is just beating hard games, I thought you meant challenges inside the games. Beat the first level of Super Mario Bros. while only moving backwards (jumping is the only way) How far can you get in Super Mario Bros. without collecting any coins? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloves 9,553 Administrator · Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Contra is actually pretty easy to one life clear with a bit of practice. That said if you're looking for an *enjoyable* challenge, it's a pretty good one. And a decent party trick to boot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Triangle is the easier of the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and NES doesn't have Ghouls and Ghosts; the NES game is called Ghosts 'N Goblins. Just saying... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumez 2,123 Member · Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 You'd be much better off playing Ghouls n Ghosts than the NES version of Ghosts in Goblins though 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twiztor 623 Member · Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 one of the first video game related thing i used the internet for was finding Legend of Zelda challenges: swordless run (can get to Ganon but can't beat him) 3 heart run (or its tougher sibling, the minimalist run) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing any game for 5 hours straight is a test of endurance for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, much respect. I never keep track when I play GNG, but I use a shit ton of continues, haha. I cannot beat Battletoads or NG, either, so well done.
