Nice links! Ive played a good deal on the impossible list, i even 100% beat jet force gemini. Iirc the “true” ending pissed me off. Don’t remember why but i felt let down for all the work i did to get it
Same here, though I also beat Ghosts n Goblins. Honestly once you can reliably beat the first couple of stages, you can probably get through the whole game.
The young’uns nowadays don’t know what a difficult game is. Not to mention the “impossible” ones.
Forgot all about Sub-Terrania. Loved that game as a kid.

That geekyinc article is the most 100% written by ChatGPT wall of text that I’ve ever encountered in the wild.
First google result, wth.
I can proudly say I’ve beaten 4 of those on the original hardware, but it was probably around 2010 or so as an adult.
(Contra, Ninja Gaiden, Castlevania, Mega Man 1)

That one is super hard, although I definitely haven’t truly committed to an attempt yet.
Have you tried the remake?
I have, but I am old and sucky at “Nintendo hard” games now so it went about as I expected.
Contra is considered a difficult one? O.o
We beat that in co-op with my brother when we were like 6 and 8.
Konami games were hard, but not crazy hard. I don’t think it should be on any “hardest game” list either.
They probably mean without the cheat code. I think you started with 3 lives originally.
The internet really wasn’t a thing, we didn’t speak English, and we we’re 6 and 8.
We didn’t know about any cheat codes, my man.
