Edited for typos that popped out at me.
[quote name='sterlingice'][quote name='defiance_17'][quote name='eurenix'][quote name='jputahraptor']play bubble man in MM 2 or magnet man in MM 3, those are the easiest levels and the ones you should play first, and yeah the MM games are close to Contra in terms of difficulty, damn spikes!!!!![/quote]
Which Contra? Surely not the first 2? I'm sure almost everyone here can beat those without losing any lives.[/quote]

Excellent use of the bs flag 8)
I've beaten it with no continues on the Konami code and I'm not that good a gamer, but even the best have to have problems with some of the less than perfect control of the NES controller- enough that blitzing through it with 0 lost lives is a bit of a feat.

What's so unbelievable about my statement? The biggest challenge in those two games is when enemies "suddenly" rush at you, or possibly the boss patterns. They're both fairly short games, so remembering when to dodge is not that difficult. Go through the levels 2, 3 times, and you should have a pretty good chance of making it through any given level on one life.
As for the controller, other than leaving square imprints in your hands, what was wrong with it? If you want to bitch about any of the controllers for the NES, bitch about the nes MAX. Giving an analog-like component to a digital pad is just evil.
P.S. I can't believe I forgot the biggest challenge in contra; trying to make a jump and falling short because your
er of a partner stopped moving forward.
