From the yet-more-lists department comes a brand new list that chronicles the ten most irritatingly impossible old school video games ever created. Yes, games were harder back then, which actually appealed to gamers since they would go back not for multiplayer or any other fancy features, but for the difficulty of the game itself. I myself remember pouring hour after hour in Contra.

Some of the games listed deserve their places quite rightfully. This includes Mike Tyson’s Punch Out, Ninja Gaiden and Contra itself. I won’t quote any bits here, because the whole article is an interesting read.
