Games mentioned seem pretty on point. Yeesh... I wish there were more games being discussed here I can beat.
Contra, and Super C I can beat easily. Contra I can max out and Super C doesn't get harder so theoretically could loop endlessly...
*Double Dragon I've beat. Using the points trick and many tries.
*Double Dragon 2 I can beat easily, so I don't consider it too hard. III I've beat once.
*Mega Man (With a few tries), and not sure why people put MM2 on the list. That's easiest for me, but again, I have played it the most probably.
Games I can "beat" with endless continues:
*Castlevania (& help from NA)
*Ghosts & Goblins
Games I can't beat:
*TMNT never made too much progress...
*Punch Out I haven't beaten Mike Tyson (can get there kinda easy with a little practise).
*Ninja Gaiden kicks my ass every time.
*Battletoads can easily max the score and get to Terra Tubes/Rat Race... but the Clinger Winger really fucks me up. Last time I tried to beat it with a Game Genie I beat that part, but didn't beat the Dark Queen.
*Zelda 2 never really played...
*Batman never really given a solid effort, but it kicks my ass pretty easily.
*Adventure Island I've gotten to level 7-4, see thread, haha. Endless continues. Have to go back again...

I've rarely even made it past stage 4 and believe me I've tried. Contra is way easier for me. People seem to think that Super C is easier which I don't understand.
This melts my brain, give how incredible you've destroyed other similarily difficult games. What is it about Super C that gets you hung up? I've always been one of those people... Contra was always trickier for me... but I think that Level 6 (Quick internet search), yup... AREA 6 in Super C... is the hardest level of both games... and if you aren't careful that level will fuck you up bad and end your shit real quick.
But als, for Super C, if the overhead levels aren't your cup of tea and they can be a pain, then that make the game more difficult for sure.

Sometimes I wonder if Contra is actually a hard game. It impossible for me to say because I've been playing since I was like 5 years old and I can beat it sleeping. If I played it for the first time as an adult would I find it difficult?
I have also wondered this. I've thought abuot making a thread about it many times. The games I play "new" as an adult are hard as fuck.
