Top 5 Hardest NES Games - MSNBC

[bangtango]

I totally forgot about Bayou Billy. Impossible game for the majority of gamers. I've seen a video of a person who completed it in one life, but it was probably a tool assisted run.

I hate Bayou Billy, but the music to the first stage, the only music you'll ever hear unless you play through stage select mode, is that one awesome song that plays in the regular stages.

This is one of those NES games that sent me scurrying for the Game Genie, which is the only reason I ever beat it. So I'm a lowdown, rotten, dirty "cheater."

I agree with you 100% about the music. I can hum that tune today as I type this and I haven't played Bayou Billy in probably ten years. That theme is sweet.

even for a casual gamer perspective battletoads is a very beatable game. Punchout can be hard but its pure memorization you will beat it after playing it enough times and then after that you will beat it every time you play it, Its just not really a skill based game.

Is Battletoads really a hard game or is it a game with one or two hard levels? I breeze through Level 1 and 2 only to be forever stuck on the speed bike stages and have never gotten by them. Are the other "action" levels afterwards really that difficult?
