Castlevania Bloodlines. Not too hard, but I only got to the tower boss and stopped playing, so I probably got off early before the real difficulty kicked in.
Contra Hard Corps was literally impossible for me. Did I get old or something? I've never reviewed videogames, but I could not for the life of me finish the first level or even make it to the halfway point, it was bloody embarrassing.

The Japanese version provides the player with a life bar and infinite continues, while international versions drop the number of continues to five and ditch the life bar in favor of one-hit kills. The pain sounds when getting hit are still present in both international releases' sound tests. There are patches available for both the US Hard Corps and Probotector which attempt to make those games behave more like the Japanese version: among other changes, the life bar and button codes are restored, and an additional button code allows access to the debug room described above.

There was no rental market in Japan. Renting games in Japan is actually STILL illegal there unless the copywrite holder gets a % of the sale, so they made the japanese version of Battletoads easier because "what's the point in keeping the game this difficult if they can't even rent it?". Here, I made a webm for you.

My point being was that certain games were made difficult on PURPOSE when they were released in america due to the rental market it had. Whether a game was developed in japan or america was irrelevant, the japanese version was often easier. Contra hard corps was released in america first, then a month later the japanese version came out & was much harder. Battletoads had the same situation. Released in america first, & then made easier for the japan release. You're splitting hairs.

>Electronic Arts are unusual in that they produced their own Mega Drive cartridges, boxes and manuals from factories in Taiwan and Puerto Rico (on a much greater scale than the likes of Accolade and Codemasters who also took manufacturing into their own hands). EA originally packaged its North American games in cardboard boxes, moving to the "standard" clamshell design in 1991. In Europe it began with much larger and "stickier" clamshell designs before conforming with its rivals around the same period. EA cartridges, however, never changed, being iconically square with a yellow "tab" on the left hand side (colours varied in Japan) which serves no practical purpose.

Find it local. If you don't live in a big city then maybe take a trip to your nearest one and see if you can get lucky. Everything resold online gets considerably marked up for a convenience tax, if you've got the money then I suggest paying the tax, if not then you'll need to make up for it with some legwork.

Go back in time and hit yard sales, thrift stores, rummage sales, and the like, religiously. The target area is 1997 - 2007. You can score good deals like an NES for $10, a Genesis for $5, a 3DO for maybe $25, and all kinds of games for a buck or two each with no discrimination between Madden and Squaresoft titles.
I around 700 physical games, and they all collect dust. All that matters is the actual hardware. Flash carts are your friend, but Chinese multicarts will get you your fix in a hurry, if you don't care about translated games and such. Buying systems with no power supply usually gives you better odds of getting a working console. Thrift stores are a good-ish way of getting PS3, Wii, and 360 games, but they're woefully plagued with Maddenitis. Scads of shovelware sports titles everywhere, good only for their cases.
The last Genesis game I played. Damn, it's been a LONG time since I used it. I honestly can't remember, even though the system is right next to me.
