yeah, I probably would've beat the Turbo version on the first try too but I had to turn it off because I ran out of time and had to go do something else.

I always heard the game was excruciatingly hard, but later found out people must have been talking about a different port.

Is the NES version the same game as the Turbo version? The SMS version is a completely different game.

Back in the day, me and my bros rented (or maybe bought) the Turtles Hyperstone Heist for Genesis and beat it the first time playing through. Ever since then whenever we beat a game in one sitting or a game we rent, we say we "Hyperstone Heisted" it.  :mrgreen:

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

Pretty much. The PCE port has better graphics and sprites, and no changes were made to the original story. There are few minor changes to character names like Jaquio is Devildoer and Ken Hayabusa is now Joe for reasons I've no idea. Aside from having no challenge at all, I've only one other complaint and thats the soundtrack. It's no where near as good as the Nes. I prefer to play the Nes version.

well I take my hat off.    :clap:  I haven't beaten the PCE engine version yet. 
and damn I miss Last Alert and the Guy Kazama madness.  I remember back in the day I had a friend who made these audio collage tapes- they were pretty much a headache- but then I made one to rival his and I remember it being an audio collage of classical music, jefferson airplane, the funniest dialogue bits from Last Alert and some other silliness.  I wish to god I still had it so I could have you guys hear it.  It was so absurd.  I have to check my old shoeboxes maybe it's around somewhere.

The soundtrack seems to fluctuate wildly in quality throughout. I'll have to pick up the NES version and see how it compares.

Riot Zone.

And I too took down Hyperstone Heist the first time through. Of course, having a lot of play experience with Turtles In Time helped a great deal.

Well I don't have any PC-E ones to talk about, I spent about 20 minutes thinking about it though and I have come up with these 4 games.  I am pretty sure they are the only 4 too.

Rez - DC:  Still an awesome game though and one of my top 10 all time favorites.  The fun thing is you can make up your own challenge modes if you are inventive enough.  For example you can choose to start the game in the 1 hit and you are dead form, and then make it your challenge to get to the final form before getting to the last level (well the final form you can get to with powerups) and if you get hit once at any time, it is game over.

Wipeout Pulse - PSP: The tracks are entertaining, but no where nearly as hard as say the classic tracks in Wipeout Pure.  I will have to revise this though once some new tracks are available for download.  The stock tracks are somewhat easy I think mainly because the play control at 333mz cpu speed is so nearly perfect it blows me away.

Vib Ribbon - PS1: Just about anyone good at music games should be able to beat the levels it comes with, without loosing to one level.  The only way I can see you failing a level is if one of the songs makes you laugh too much and you tear up.

Super Puzzle Fighter II: Turbo - Arcade:  My friend told me to choose Ken.  He was right, Ken rocks in this game (and others).  I'm usually more of a Ryu person though.  The first few levels I got through by the skin of my teeth, but once I had the hang of the combos, this game seemed rather easy.  I have played it a lot more now over the years and I think you are most likely to loose through bad luck or by choosing a character who gives nice formations of blocks to destroy.  Some of the characters are down right aweful in this game.  Whoever balanced it should be forced for program Street Fighter (1) VS Kung Fu on the Saturn.

Ninja Ryukenden (aka Ninja Gaiden)

Impressive - Ninja Gaiden was a beast and known for it's difficulty (check the gamespot review)

Edit - i've only taken a quick glance at the PC-Engine version so not sure on that, but the NES version took me lots of "sick days" from school to beat!!

Star Parodia and Sylphia are the first two games that come to mind my mind when I think of games I beat first time playing them.

I beat Final Fantasy Mystic Quest over the first weekend I rented it, and I also beat the NES version of Dragon Spirit on my first rental.

I don't know if I've ever beaten a game on a first play run though. I'm usually not focused enough. I get too much of a kick out of taking in all the sights and sounds.

WTF? Did you use the Konami code or something? That game isn't easy.
