Time for another of GameTrailers Top 10s, this one coming in the form of the hardest games of all time. Without sounding too cocky, I can beat Contra using three lives, and did do it once without dying. Same goes for the arcade version. Granted, that’s after countless hours of a wasted youth trying to memorize it all, but it can be done.
Their number 1 pick? It’s Battletoads, and they couldn’t be more right. Even with the Game Genie invincibility, that doesn’t save you from ramming into platforms during the biker stage or falling off the towering final level. It’s a game I’ve never beaten, and never will. Check out the video for yourself below.
