On the subject of hard games, yes metoid was hard. Ninja Gaiden 1, 2, and 3 were all hard, but I remember beating all of them, and without any kind of guide. Battletoad, however, that game was ridiculously unfair. Never could beat it, although I came close.
Of course we forget that one of the reasons that those old school games were so difficult was because many times once you died or ran out of continues it was back to the drawing board (you would have to start all the way from the begining.
Other hard games on NES I remember beating are:
Ghost and Goblins
Castlevania (the very first and orignial one)
Shingen the Ruler (a strategy game by Koei I think, a Japenese friend of mine gave me the game, because he could get nowhere on it.)
Adventure Island (never could beat it as a teen, I picked it up almost twenty years later and finally managed to "rescue the princess)
My most memorable moment from an NES game was beating Contra without dying one time, and while never picking up any special weapons through the whole game. The only thing I grabbed was the rapid fire which of couse made the original gun you start with shoot faster.
