Let's face it: NES Games are TOUGH. Whether they provide a real challenge, or are just cheap, the majority of them are tough. Why? I'm not really sure. Sometimes I wish it was still that way. I feel that many games nowadays appeal to Casual Gamers only when it comes to difficulty. Don't get me wrong now. I know there are some tough ones today, like Demon's Souls for the PS3. Anyway, I'd like some assistance here. I want to compose a list of the toughest, most punishing NES Games out there, and that includes NTSC-J and PAL games. Here's some I personally know of:
Contra
The Adventures Of Bayou Billy
Little Nemo The Dream Master
Super Mario Bros. 2 (J)
Final Fantasy 2 (J)
The Legend of Zelda 2 (US)
That's only a few off the top of my head. If you can think of any more (and I'm sure you will), please shout them out in the comments. Thank you! 
Excuse the bad title, but I love the game I based that title off of. 
But seriously, I have been REALLY busy lately, but fear not, for I am still alive. (No pun intended).
So, what exactly have I been doing? Lots of freelance work and hanging out with friends. It's been pretty hectic, but I'm back now.
Now, onto gaming matters: I have been playing games from almost every generation, hence the title of this post. I started out with Punch-Out on the NES, and I played it using my power glove. My arm STILL hurts!
Next up, I decided to give the infamous Shaq-Fu for Genesis a try. Now, bear with me here, and please forgive me, but I did not think it was that bad. Now, it's not like it was Game of the Year, but it was decent.
What game next? Capcom's Aladdin for SNES. I know what your thinking, Movie games are crap, but NOT when Capcom makes them. This was one fun Platformer.
The next game on my list was Virtua Fighter Kids for the Saturn, and out of all the ones I played, this one was the worst. It felt unfinished for some reason, and neither me, or my friend could get into it.
Gamecube time! Metroid Prime 2 rules, and I'm actually still working on it! Here's hoping I get through it without much trouble!
PS3...I was playing Mass Effect 2, until I read about a Save Corruption Bug, so here I am, two weeks later, waiting for the freaking patch! Hurry up already!
Anyway, that's about it for now. Oh, and no Sprite Comic update yet. All this has kept me really busy. Next time for sure!
