Inky Posted February 26, 2002 Share Posted February 26, 2002 We have the 2600 rarity guide, but has anyone ever considered doing a difficulty guide? Difficulty could be rated on a 1-5 scale with 1 being easiest and 5 being hardest. Prototypes could be given a the numbers above but with a P in front of the number. Example: Space Invaders 2 Moon Patrol 4 Star Raiders 5 Sinistar P4 What say ye? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyXB Posted February 26, 2002 Share Posted February 26, 2002 Hard to say. For someone some games easier as for others. If you play a game often it goes easier and easier. For example I have no probleme with ET, but for some this is hard to play. And whats about unplayable games like Ghostbusters II and Double Dragon?

Those damn land mine stages and that stupid rocket thing that sneaks up behind you pretty much ensures a quick game over for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted February 26, 2002 Share Posted February 26, 2002 ..not to mention the varying difficulty levels and the actual 'difficulty switches' itself. For example. Space Invaders on game 1 is easy. Space Invaders on game 16 is almost impossible Throw in the difficulty switch setting which make your ship skinny or fat and you'd have a task trying to rate it.

ubersaurus Posted February 27, 2002 Share Posted February 27, 2002 Dude, I can't even kill the Sinistar. That so goes for a 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horax Posted February 27, 2002 Share Posted February 27, 2002 If Moon Patrol would be a 5 in "difficulty ranking" than Gravitar must be at least a 7, or what??!!! It´s the hardest Game i ever played on the 2600.... All in all it´s not a bad Idea, but as many games have various difficulty-levels i think it would be too much work!
