"And then you play the game and then you die, and you die, and you die, and you die, and you die again, and this is just the first freaking level!" - SNES Drunk on Contra Hard Corps
Me sorprende que en estas listas de juegos difíciles de Megadrive nunca aparece Hellfire. Creo que es uno de los shooters más difíciles del sistema, si no el que más.
@@MakaimuraKiu muy difícil. Es un matamarcianos de Toaplan,con eso está todo dicho😂. El problema es que perder una vida supone perder todos los power ups de arma y velocidad, siendo casi imposible recuperarse si eso ocurre a partir del 3er o 4° nivel. Aún así es un gran juego.
@@josemanuelgonzalez9659 Sí, sí, los de Toaplan son puñeteros, el Truxton es infernal. Hellfire creo recordar que venía en la MD Mini 2, ahora tengo ganas de probarlo :D
Of the games listed, I've beaten Ghouls 'N Ghosts, Gain Ground, Comix Zone, Alien Soldier, Streets of Rage 3, Shadow Dancer, Revenge of Shinobi, Kid Chameleon, RoboCop Versus The Terminator, and Adventures of Batman & Robin. As for the other games, Fatal Labyrinth is the only one of the bunch that I have played but never beaten. And of the games I have beaten, Kid Chameleon was the only one that I don't have any video evidence for as I had beaten it at around 2010 when Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection came out.
@@MakaimuraKiu Without a doubt, Adventures of Batman & Robin. That Perfect Playthrough I worked on was beyond brutal. Alien Soldier and Ghouls 'N Ghosts were also fairly punishing.
I beat Target Earth and Comix Zone. Both are fun games that are still worth playing today. I've also beat Shadow of the Beast, but on the original Amiga release. But that doesn't count here since this is a Genesis list 😊 I think the hardest thing about beating Shadow of the Beast is keeping interest long enough to make it all the way through. It is a very pretty game with a great soundtrack, but the gameplay really isn't very good. Also, kudos to anyone who has ever managed to beat Ghouls'N Ghosts or Contra Hard Corps. I never could get anywhere in either of those games, but I still like to try 😊
@@MakaimuraKiu It probably took 25 or 30 hours of play altogether before I beat the game. The playthrough where I finally beat it took around 5 or 6 hours. And it was not a fun time! But I paid full price for the game, so there was no way I was going to let it beat me. LOL
I've legit beaten Comix Zone, Streets of Rage 3 on the hardest difficulty level, Shadow Dancer, and Revenge of Shinobi. I've beaten the NES version of Battletoads legit, but never actually tried playing the Genesis port. Notes on SoR3, Shadow of the Beast, and Contra Hard Corps. SoR3 also suffered a difficulty increase along with the contend changes from the Japanese version. If you want the best ending in the US version you have to finish the game on the hard difficulty. With Shadoe of the Beast, it was originally a PAL release, and was unoptimized when brought to North America, so it runs 20% faster, increasing the difficulty artificially. Like SoR3 Contra Hard Corps had it's difficulty increased, mainly by removing the three hit system and making it so you die in one hit instead.
Yeo, sometime publishers didn't want kids to rent a game and beat it in a weekend, so they asked developers to increase difficult. For example the monkeys stage on The Lion King (Genesis) is insanely hard compared with the rest of the game.
@@MakaimuraKiu the game itself is hard but they give you lots of opportunity to gain health and free lives……the bosses are fricken ridiculously hard because they take so many hits, and can slice through ol RoboCop in no time.
I've beaten Revenge of Shinobi. The last labyrinth sucks, but it's an easy game. I've also beaten Kid Chameleon. Thing is, if you get the Bloody Swamp level, you're f'd. If you can avoid that level it's pretty easy. And it's a fun game. Contra Hard Corps (Probotector in EU) has multiple endings. Found most of them. It's a fun game.
I would remove MUSHA Aleste from the list, a FANTASTIC game but not too difficult and in my opinion, the hardest game (from the playable ones with good command response, for example of the opposite, Immortal or Sword of Sodan are virtually unplayable) on MegaDrive is CHAKAN
@@MakaimuraKiu now The next querry could be... "Should i finish any Game with a single credit?" Or... Why do i need to finish it up? 🤭 Regards from México dude👍👍👍
Hi @@MakaimuraKiu Sorry if I was rude at first. I finished only 106 games on Sega and I have difficulty rating about many of them, I'm sure there are more 9 or 10 level hard games. You should research more or at least do a less clickbate title, so this list won't look weird to hardcore gamers. I felt bad because of that and that's why I did responded not a proper way. G&G - don't have a rating but was the easiest of 3 on NES/SNES/Genesis, first playthrough less then 2 hours on default difficulty Comix Zone - 7/10 SoR 3 - 8/10 Shadow Dancer - beat on 3rd attempt Kid Chameleon - 9/10 Battletoads - 7/10 easier then NES version Earthworm Jim 2 - 1h 39m first attempt, far easier then the first game also Contra - wasn't that hard to beat Hard Games: Road Rash 1 - 10/10 Cannon Fodder - 9/10 Ecco the Dolphin - 9/10 Road Rash II - 9/10 Micro Machines: Turbo Tournament 96 - 8/10 Dynamite Headdy - 8/10 Road Rash III: Tour de Force - 8/10 Wings of Wor - 8/10 Splatterhouse 3 - 8/10 Donald in Maui Mallard - 8/10 Sub-Terrania - 8/10 Thanks, and have a great week
@@baras441 No prob, I like viewers to comment my videos in order to improve the way I make them. I respect your list with that scores, all games you beat abd rhe whole thing. But let me point out about the title's clickbaiting, I don't know who is going to watch my video (that's YT algorythm thing) but the title must describe the video content as good as it gets with a characters limitation and this one says "20 hardest games" this is a list with 20 of the hardest (no sorted) just for fun. Thanks for your comment my friend 👍🏼
"And then you play the game and then you die, and you die, and you die, and you die, and you die again, and this is just the first freaking level!" - SNES Drunk on Contra Hard Corps
Haha Contra is so frustrating...
I beat 5 of these as a kid when I had time to learn all the patterns. I've beat a few more since then but I used save states.
I agree with u. when I was a kid with time to repeat every stage 1000 times I beat more games...
Kid Chameleon was an absolute bitch.
Streets of Rage 3 was a killer with that strobe lighting section.
Yeah, we need a PS5 version of Kid Chameleon.
Wow, yeah like the Alex Kidd remake!
A Very Solid List. Cheat Codes are the only reason that i was able to complete a handful of these games.
Haha cheat codes, I remember the super Sonic cheat in Sonic 2. Amazing. Thanks for the support.

And of the games you beat, which one was the hardest for you?

@@REALmikegordan And Ghouls 'N Ghosts you have to beat twice.

Genesis had a bunch of Amiga ports, is Shadow of the Beast very long to beat?

Yeah not sure but Lion King messed my head up when I was a kid. Actually hard. Toxic avenger,General chaos also hard.
Buf General Chaos, so hard...
Robocop Vs. Terminator! That’s the only one of those I have completed.
Was it very hard for you?
@@MakaimuraKiu the game itself is hard but they give you lots of opportunity to gain health and free lives……the bosses are fricken ridiculously hard because they take so many hits, and can slice through ol RoboCop in no time.
@@willweisgerber245 Sometimes they make ultra difficult bosses just to make the game "longer"
I would have to disagree with you on Shadow Dancer. I felt like it was fairly easy. But the rest of the list is pretty accurate. Some brutal games.
Would you remove him from the list or what other position would you put him in?
I've beaten Ghouls N Ghosts and Contra Hard Corps. I've also beaten the SNES version of Earthworm Jim 2 - you can decide for yourself if that counts.
I think Earthworm Jim 2 SNES and Genesis are pretty much the same thing.
По реиграбельность лучшая Контра Хард Корпс, по дизайну и разнообразию - Жабы. По боёвке и персонажам Улицы 3 :)) Остальное не проходил.
Have you beaten Battletoads?
No way Ghouls and Ghosts is less hard than Streets of Rage 3. No way.
This list is not strictly ordered by difficulty. Thanks for your comment.
I've beaten Revenge of Shinobi. The last labyrinth sucks, but it's an easy game.
I've also beaten Kid Chameleon. Thing is, if you get the Bloody Swamp level, you're f'd. If you can avoid that level it's pretty easy. And it's a fun game.
Contra Hard Corps (Probotector in EU) has multiple endings. Found most of them. It's a fun game.
I must give another try to Kid Chameleon, I didn't enjoyed much when I played it.
@@MakaimuraKiu If I remember correctly, the ManiAxe character's 50-diamond special ability is an extra life. That might help you out ;)
I would remove MUSHA Aleste from the list, a FANTASTIC game but not too difficult and in my opinion, the hardest game (from the playable ones with good command response, for example of the opposite, Immortal or Sword of Sodan are virtually unplayable) on MegaDrive is CHAKAN
Agree, Immortal has a very imprecise control.
Comix Zone is actually an easy game. I beat it multiple times when I was a kid.
IMO Comix Zone is not a long game but it is not easy. Thanks for your comment.
So!...
Contra on Génesis it's a hardcore Game!???
Thanks god 🙏
I always felt stupid. 'cause i can't finish it without a single credit🤦
You are not alone my friend :D at least for me it's quite hard.
@@MakaimuraKiu now The next querry could be... "Should i finish any Game with a single credit?"
Or... Why do i need to finish it up?
🤭
Regards from México dude👍👍👍
J'ai fini Kid Chameleon à 13 ans sans le troiuver spécialement compliqué.
Yes, it was a pretty long game.
Only finished robocop v terminator in this list. I didn't think that was too hard tbh. A lot of secrets / lives.
Do u think is possible to beat it without getting the extra lives?
Battletoads shouldn't be here, it ten times easier than the NES original, barely any challenge
I've beaten Earthworm Jim 2. Don't think it should be on this list, especially not second place?
The believe the first game is harder.
What position should Earthworm Jim 2 be in for you?
I beat Ghouls N Ghosts
Did you beat twice?
bro if that's a list of hardest games you haven't even tried looking
Why do u say that?

Comix Zone - 7/10
SoR 3 - 8/10
Shadow Dancer - beat on 3rd attempt
Kid Chameleon - 9/10
Battletoads - 7/10 easier then NES version
Earthworm Jim 2 - 1h 39m first attempt, far easier then the first game also
Contra - wasn't that hard to beat
Hard Games:
Road Rash 1 - 10/10
Cannon Fodder - 9/10

Comix zone and Aleste are not very hard, i would have chosen Truxton instead 😁
I tried Truxton on Genesis mini 2 and yes, it's quite hard.
Comix zone and earth worm jim 2 are not that hard, I beat those games many times
Undead Line >>>>>>
Wow cool! I didn't know anything about this game (I've seen only was released in Japan) Is it good? Is it hard?
@@MakaimuraKiu probably the hardest Mega Drive game ever
Musha is not one of the hardest games on the Genesis
What position should M.U.S.H.A. be in for you?
@@MakaimuraKiu just not in my top ten, even Among shmups
Super Smash TV >>>>>>
What position should it be in for you?
@@MakaimuraKiu Top 3 for sure,insanely hard game.
