Ok, so I got mario world the other day, and for some reason, that game is hella hard for me. I keep dying. I dont know, maybe cause I havent palyed it in like 15 years, but even back than I didnt beat it. I know that the 16 bit gen was one of difficulty compared to today, but whats the point in buying adn investing in these old games If I keep dying and getting frustrated? I also couldnt beat sonic. I dont know, maybe I didnt really try as a kid, but still. Any games taht are really good, and are easy or very easy to beat?
What are some great, Easy Genesis and SNES games?
Hmm I always thought Super Mario World was pretty easy compared to most of the other stuff that was out back then. Yoshi's Island is pretty easy as is Donkey Kong Country 1. Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past is also pretty easy. Turtles in Time is a joke in terms of difficulty. Anyone should be able to beat that game within a half hour. Same goes for the original Star Fox if you can make out what is on your screen.
" Dude if you can't handle Mario World you need a LeapFrog Leapster. "snap that was a hell of a diss.
I'd recommend the Lion King game or the Toy Story game.
Seriously, how can you market those games to kids when they're as fucking hard as they are?
Super Mario Allstars, Final Fight 1 - 3, Super Ghouls and Ghost, Contra 3, Castlevania 4, F-zero, Gradius 3, Axelay, Rival Turf, Donkey Kong Country 1-3, Paperboy 2, Super Punch out, Zombies Ate My Neighbors, Earthworm Jim 1 & 2, Sunset Riders, Splatterhouse 2 & 3 and Virtua Racing (for when you want to reminest how far we have come in 3d gaming.)
Super Star Wars or Obelix and Asterix was pretty easy. Super Smash TV was also great fun and was relatively easy, but got harder as you progress.
I would like to add that Gen of gaming wasn't about beating the game it was more about challenging yourself, where as now a days a lot of games just want to tell a story like there a movie. When you get a good hard game like Super Ghouls and Ghost and play it like crazy you'll blow your mind just seeing how far you can really get. Just practice dude.
If you want an easy platformer, try Ristar, Animaniacs (the Genesis version) or Mickey Mania (which is not only the best Mickey Mouse game ever, but it's also the very first game that David "Let's see if I can shut the fuck up for 6 months" Jaffe worked on).
I never had an SNES so I can't really comment on those games, but Kirby games are normally super-easy to beat.
Well for me it is anyway.
I would say to check out Dynamite Headdy but if you can't even complete Super Mario World then the second half of this game will rape your asshole inside out. Same with Splatterhouse 2.
I was never fond of the SNES so I can't help you there. If you need more Megadrive games then feel free to ask- its a specialty of mine.
" @MysteriousBob: What are some great Genesis games? "Well... what genre/style you looking for? I don't think I can only include "easy" games because honestly very few games were at all "easy" by todays standards.
Also, maybe you just need to change your mindset. Games back then were rarely made to sit down and play through. You started over and over again, but they trained you. Part of the fun was slowly getting better at it as you discovered the games tricks. Mario World in particular is great about systematically introducing you to different gameplay elements and gradually combining them in creative ways, which, if you recognize what the designers are doing in a given level, can really help you through the game.
" Castle of Illusion starring Mickey Mouse for the Genesis. It's a good game. "Hell yeah it is. As well as Rocket Knight Adventures. Great games.Well actually, Rocket Knight Adventures is extremely hard. You might be able to look past the difficulty because of how fun it is.
" Super Mario Allstars, Final Fight 1 - 3, Super Ghouls and Ghost, Contra 3, Castlevania 4, F-zero, Gradius 3, Axelay, Rival Turf, Donkey Kong Country 1-3, Paperboy 2, Super Punch out, Zombies Ate My Neighbors, Earthworm Jim 1 & 2, Sunset Riders, Splatterhouse 2 & 3 and Virtua Racing (for when you want to reminest how far we have come in 3d gaming.)

ToeJam & Earl in Panic on Funkotron
*By which I mean folders in my "chiptunes" folder
I would link these but I really should be in bed right now. If you want to know more about each one just search for it on GB. I might turn this into my first blog entry as I have a lot to say about each one of these.
Good luck. I really hope that helps because I've just spent about twenty minutes writing it. There's more, that list is just taken from the games I have the chiptunes of.
" @agentboolen said:Yea I know what you mean, but lets face it the 2d era was just more challenging then this hold your hand gaming era that we have right now. But in all truths those are my top favorite 16 bit games. Practice makes perfect :)" Super Mario Allstars, Final Fight 1 - 3, Super Ghouls and Ghost, Contra 3, Castlevania 4, F-zero, Gradius 3, Axelay, Rival Turf, Donkey Kong Country 1-3, Paperboy 2, Super Punch out, Zombies Ate My Neighbors, Earthworm Jim 1 & 2, Sunset Riders, Splatterhouse 2 & 3 and Virtua Racing (for when you want to reminest how far we have come in 3d gaming.) "I like the irony of this post. "
I had Super Mario World beat, with all of the secret enterances found when I was 9 years old, but maybe that's because I wasn't old enough to have developed the "I died so I'm going to go find something easier" mentality. It's like, I was dying, so I had to play more to get better. Are this generations gamers going to be completely soft when it comes to gaming in 15 years time?
I recently downloaded the ZNES emulator with about 200 games and played a bunch of em... most of them were actually surprisingly difficult. The ones I stuck with were Super Metroid (Not too hard, beat it as a kid), Chrono Trigger, the Mega Mans (which are much harder than I remember)... Earthworm Jim isn't too bad. Smash TV is fun to master. I dunno there's a bloody lot of games just play them!
Snes and Genesis games are easy only if you dont mind spending alot of time memorizing level patterns
