What do you think is the Hardest/Easiest Genesis game?
Easily Ghoul n'Ghosts for Hardest and Paperboy for the Easiest!
Easiest for me would be Sonic The hedgehog 2
Hadest for me would be either The Wily Wars or Undeadline
McDonald's Treasure Land Adventure is pretty easy. The Adventures of Batman and Robin is punishingly hard.
For a lot of people Contra: Hard Corps is gruesomely hard, however if you play it enough you will get it down well.
Power Rangers the Movie on Sega Genesis is amazingly easy (and short), even on hard mode.
Altered Beast is is pretty damn easy.
Easiest - Thunder Force III
Hardest - Contra Hard Corps. I reserve the right to change my mind though as RKA has been slow progress and I just picked up Battletoads which is supposed to be stupid hard.
ren and stimpy is the easiest in my opinion.
hardest goes to any fighting game, batman and robin, maximum carnage and zombies ate my neighbors.
Hellfire, Separation Anxiety, Gods, and Battletoads are all pretty hard.
Easy (default difficulty):
Batman, Jungle Book, Sparkster, Shining Force 1-2, Warsong, Castle of Illusion, Magical Taluluto Adventure, Great Circus Mystery, Sonic 2 & 3, McDonalds Treasure Land Adventure, Tiny Toon Adventures, TMNT: Hyperstone Heist, Golden Axe, SOR 1-2, World of Illusion, Quack Shot, Mega Turrican, Ranger X, Earthworm Jim 2, Wonder Boy in Monster World, Monster World IV, Lords of Thunder, Elemental Master, MUSHA, Super Fantasy Zone, Fire Shark, Twinkle Tale, Thunder Force 3, Gunstar Heroes, Moonwalker
Hard:
Undeadline, Target Earth, Adventures of Batman & Robin, Gods, Battletoads, Blades of Vengeance, Dashin' Desperadoes, Contra HC, Puyo Puyo 2, Columns 3, Yu Yu Hakusho Makiyou Toitsuden, Street Fighter 2, Thunder Force II & IV, Rampart, Ms. Pac-Man, Wiz 'n Liz, Biohazard Battle, Gaiares, Alien Soldier, Hellfire, Ghouls 'n Ghosts, Castlevania Bloodlines (whip guy), Another World, Ecco the Dolphin, Earthworm Jim, King Colossus, Landstalker, Dynamite Headdy, Eliminate Down, Strider, Mazin Wars, Rainbow Islands, Comix Zone, Zero the Kamikaze squirrel, Truxton, New Zealand story, Road Blasters, Chaos Engine, Demolition Man, Spider-Man vs. The Kingpin
Easy for me would be Altered Beast
Hard would be Castle of Illusion. I've yet to beat it.
Easiest: That horrible Barney game. :yuck: 3 levels of nothing (I played it when I was four).
Hardest: Dynamite Heady. Played it once, couldn't get past the first level.
You should give Dynamite Headdy another shot, the first level isn't that difficult. Not to say that it isn't among the more difficult Genesis games I've played. I always run out of lives by the 4th "area" or so. I've slowly been making progress, though!
I'll probably give it another chance sooner or later. That cat boss is tricky for a first boss, though. :pQuote:

Hardest would be Contra Hard Corpse, Final Zone and some other games I can't think of because I really don't like games that are too hard. Instead, I prefer "challenging".
I played Dynamite Headdy to the last boss but I can't remember whether or not I was able to beat it. It's really not to hard of a game but you have to know what to expect.
As for the hardest, probably Ghouls N' Ghosts since I was only able to beat it to the 2nd or 3rd section. Super GnG I could beat along with going back and getting the secret weapon or w/e but the Genesis game kicked my ass.
Let's not forget the absolute hardest game ever made --- Forgotten Worlds when played with a 6-button controller. It is so hard that most people can't even make it to the beginning of stage one without an instant Game Over.
The problems with a game like Dynamite Headdy if you just pop it into your system to casually finish in an evening is that you can breeze past the first 45mins after a few runs,
cautiously play through 30 mins,
then have loads of lives intact until you come to that side scrolling shooter part, where loads of my lives are shed on that baby face yolk.
Followed by another really hard boss in the regular platforming area.
Its such a killer to pick it up everytime and play an enjoyable hour or so until the bloodshed goes into overdrive...
Difficulty curve goes nuts too fast...
Easiest: Sesame Street Counting Cafe
Hardest: Uh, I don't think I've ever played an extremely tough game on the Genesis.
Last Battle is pretty easy, so is X-Perts if you figure out what to do. And Sonic 2 & Knuckles is a breeze. Double Dragon is hard due to its delayed controls, and the same with Heavy Nova.
I find Golden Axe II to be pretty challenging compared to its predecessor.
Golden Axe 2 is Easy, you just need to betters skillz
i'm stuck on this one part of crystals pony tales
I believe you. The choppy scrolling and bad art make it hard to tell what you need to do!!
Easiest: Most platform games. Like: Sonic series, Castle of Illusion, Chuck Rock series. Exception: Dynamite Headdy - too damn hard to me.
Hardest: Most shmup games. Like: Eliminate Down, Musha Aleste, Slap Fight MD. I would have included Undeadline as well, but I've beaten that game so I won't put it on my hardest list.
its not that hard :pQuote:

I just beat it last night and was very disappointed. There was no extra stage at the end. And when you defeat Death Adder he just blows up instead of the axe falling into his chest. Bummer :(Quote:

Subterrainia has a super hard final boss.
Agreed! I'd also add Batman Returns (Cart) in the "Easy" list and Streets of Rage 3, Chakan in the "Hard" list.Quote:

I would put Batman Returns and Chakan in the "Frustrating" category :) Not sure how I missed SoR3, good call!Quote:
