Give me some tough NES games to beat

[Packerfan66]

Well over the past 4 days I dug up some tough NES games that I couldn't beat when I was younger or they were listed on the Hardest games of all time discussion. So suggest some games to beat that aren't strategy or RPG. I guess i'm looking for more action and adventure games.
I've beaten in the past 4 days:
ninja gaiden 1, 2, and 3
battletoads
ghost 'n goblins
I think i'm going to tackle Bayou Billy tomorrow.

Ironsword: Wizards and Warriors II...

That was a fairly tough one for me, at least.. and a prety good game to boot.

[Arqueologia_Digital]

Well, try this games:
Cheetahmen II
Lode runner
Wrecking crew
Adventures of Tom sawyer

Really difficult games...

[Ze_ro]

Bokosuka Wars

Good luck.

I second Ironsword. I could always get to the final bosses, but never could take them out. There was always two or three left.

Another pretty tough game is the first Ninja Turtles game. That one used to send many a child into fits of anger.

I'd recommend you try out Double Dragon II and III.

[Ruudos]

Then I recommend the first Double Dragon

And also:
Abadox
Boulder Dash
Burai Fighter
Captain Planet (this game is crap)
Isolated Warrior
Micro Machines
Shadow of the Ninja
Silver Surfer
Solstice
TMNT
Track & Field II
Trojan

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is hard because it sucks. Good luck!

[Lady Jaye]

Bionic Commando.

[Darth Sensei]

Rolling Thunder

[Raccoon Lad]

Dragon's lair

[jose.yoshitake]

NARC

and...

Bombliss from Tetris 2 + Bombliss (Famicom) going through level 60...

[Crush Crawfish]

Terra Cresta is an insanely hard game. Go beat it!

[Postermen]

Dragon's Lair, TMNT, and Trojan are the 3 games I could never beat.

[Dr. Morbis]

Overlord and Indian Jones and the Temple of Doom.

[Sotenga]

Ninja Gaiden... 3. I predict you'll be spouting out swears by... stage 2. Have fun.

EDIT: D'OH! x_x

I must commend you... flogging NGIII is no small feat. It's not one I could accomplish. However, a game that WILL make you scream out in frustrated pain is Holy Diver. It's an import, it plays like Castlevania... and IREM made it. Beware, take care, beware.

[gamergary]

Its a famicom game but it is either called "Takeshi's Castle" or Beat Takeshi's Challenge". Try and beat that game.

[ArnoldRimmer83]

Well, try this games:
Cheetahmen II
Lode runner
Wrecking crew
Adventures of Tom sawyer

Really difficult games...

Cheetahmen II cannot be beaten. The game is impossible to win literally, because at some point after a certain level the game completely craps out and freezes.

Anyway for hard Nes games, I agree about Dragon's Lair. That game is almost impossible and not very fun. Dirk moves very very sluggishly, and don't be fooled by the life bar you see at the top of the screen. 99% of everything in that game kills you in one hit. The game is a piece of crap.

Metalstorm is one I recommend. The first time through the game isn't too tough, but it has a second quest, and it gets ludicrously hard at times. It'll probably take you awhile to conquer that one.

And also Codemaster's games are usually pretty difficult. Doesn't help that several of them are long and don't have continues.

Snake Rattle & Roll
Super Pitfall (if you're really patient, I'm told)

I don't think some of those levels in Wrecking Crew were really designed with the intention of being finishable.

And, of course, Ghosts 'n' Goblins.
