|  | I'm still undecided.  I've only beaten SMB + Metroid -- but:
- I was never a real arcade fan, maybe a C-note's worth my whole life.
- I have a family that includes a wife, 3 kids, 3 dogs (not the kids) and
  (until recently, ref:kids) a few fish.
- I never play more than a couple of hours at a time.
That said, I'd say it took me about 2 weeks to beat metroid and about a
month to beat SMB.
For my lifestyle, the games seem fairly suited.  Hard enough to not
be a waste of money but easy enough to not lose my attention.
Guess it really depends on YOU.
Scott.

| 409.2 | Not for me | RTPSWS::VANDEUSEN | _@CORNING Optical Waveguides | Sat Jan 20 1990 21:02 | 7 | 
|  |     I have yet to beat any Nintendo game. Granted "I'm not allowed" to play
    more than an hour or so a day, but I find these games more than
    challenging...  Of course, my motor coordination is such that one of my
    childhood nicknames was Charlie Brown...  Actually, I LOOK for ones
    that people complain are too easy!

|  |     The only games I enjoy are those like in .1  (Hard enough to not be a
    waste of money yet easy enough to keep my attention.)
    
    I solved ULTIMA.  Play ZELDA I.(made it through both quests after
    about 2 months)   And am addicted to TETRIS. (wait a minute I see and
    "l" shape that'll fit....) Oh! I'm sorry must of lasped into last
    nights game.

| 409.4 | Get a NEC. TGX_16! | HPSTEK::SCHWARTZ |  | Wed Jan 24 1990 09:43 | 5 | 
|  |       Anyone who thinks that the Nintendo games are to easy should go and
    buy a Nec. Turbografx-16. Then buy R-type. That will put and end to
    all talk about home video games being easy!! Damn hardest game I've
    seen anywhere, including the arcades! Grrrrrr!

| 409.5 | Too Easy??? nyuk nyuk... | EXIT26::SAARINEN |  | Thu Feb 15 1990 13:03 | 14 | 
|  |     Nintendo games too easy??? Nyuk Nyuk...with almost being blind in
    one eye and hard of hearing in another, having the anticpation of
    a large lizard skin'd giant sloth, and the reaction time of a large
    body of congress...no... I wouldn't say Nintendo games are too 
    easy. I have the Mario Bro's and Duck Hunt game from the original
    set, and have rented about 10+ games...haven't beat any of them
    yet...so the level of play suits me just fine.
    
    I sure would like to see someone beat any game in person...it
    would be a great learning experience for me.
    
    Have FUN!
