It's only a matter of time until you become the Ultimate Destroyer.
Here are my clears just to give you an idea of my lack of skillz
Harmful Park
...
The Genesis port of Air Buster is a cakewalk.
I don't know what's up with people recommending harder than average games in this thread.
Blazing Lazers is another easy one.
I have been trying for MONTHS, and cannot beat that last level. Bout to grind my teeth into power.
For console standards, I don't consider it very easy either. I was only able to clear it after performing a specific trick.
I've been searching for what it was but can't remember. It may have been getting the 8-way power up, but I also thought it involved letting a boss time out at a later part of the game which yields a ton of respawn gels which ended up making the final stage relatively easy.
The Geometry Wars games are all pretty easy but it doesn't stop them from being really fun.
I cleared R-type pretty easily. Einhänder too. And parodius was a cakewalk.
Mind you, this was 20 years ago. Haven't played it recently but R-Type was my muse somehow. Probably beats the shit out of me nowadays.
Edit: that said, it definitely wasn't the easiest since I practised a lot. So scratch it
Want a challenge? Try Salamander for MSX.
You seem to not understand the point of this thread.

It doesn't take much to finish it on hard either.I've been meaning to give the 1st and 2nd one a go.
Harmful Park is set to 'easy' on default, though the 'normal' setting barely differs and still won't let you see the the real face of the stage 4 boss (or does it? . Anyway, the difficulty settings should be inflation-adjusted: 'normal' to 'easy' and 'hard' as 'normal'.
I'm not sure what it was set to. I'm assuming default. I was at a meet-up and someone handed me the controller. It was on an original PS1 copy, but I have a PSN version on my PS3, so I'll check it out.
I popped in Blast Wind today. I like it. It's fast, which makes it pretty scary especially since the hit box is pretty big. I've gotten to the end of level 5 so far, so I don't think a 1CC is out of reach. My only real complaint is the backgrounds. There's just so much happening it's hard to tell what's going on, if an enemy is coming in, where the enemy options are going, etc.
