Sometimes is an understatement, contra sort of always blows. I'll take metal slug over contra any day 3nodding
Rocket Lawncha! *shew shew*
I played them, and didn't like them not because they were hard (I always love a challenge), but because everything from the looks to the sound is annoying. It's ugly, it's repetetive, I don't like it. The absolute hardest 2d game ever I'd have to say is Metal Slug 4 in the arcade... Oh god the pain gonk

I heard that the first one was terribly hard. It was enjoyable to watch as a kid, but times have changed!

You know the funny thing is in Japan, the Genesis version actually had LIFE BARS but they took them away for the US versions >.>

That's odd... Usually they made things easier for the US... I wonder why they made contra harder?
For some reason, for me one of the hardest games on SNES was Super Star Wars. I never could beat that game sweatdrop

I think it's unfair to count the whole country. There are American's that love as much of a challenge as any Japanese person. But hardcore gaming is bigger in Japan so there are more people in Japan interested in a challenge.

Not everyone in Japan is the stereotype of the overachieving shy buisnessman with glasses. There are plenty of high school dropouts that spend their days in the arcade. And it's much like finding the time to read. There's always time before you go to bed, on the bus/train, and on days off. Why do you think DS sales are so huge there. domokun

chippbogard I wonder when they have the time to play Contra when they spend a good amount of time at work or in school... It's actually a fact that right now Japan is heading into an economic suicide because there's not enough of the young generation that wants to work hard and take care of the country, Japan's population in 50 years is supposed to drop by 68%. But that's another topic in its own.
