What is the easiest game you have ever played?
For me it has to be Pocket Tennis Color for NGPC. That game was a huge disappointment. It looked cute and fun and I had been craving a tennis game... but it was just so disappointing because it was literally impossible to lose. You didn't even need to try or pay attention to win every-single-point. Once I realised this I sold the game. There was simply no point in playing.
:(
Burning Rangers and Nights top my list. Their ease is part of the reason why I like them.
Super Bonks on SNES. i'd purposely try to kill myself by jumping into bottonless pits just to end up in bonus levels each time. there's just no dying in that game.
That Barney Genesis game makes it impossible to die.
Final Fantasy 1, 2, and 7 (the ones that I played), Mario 64, Super Metroid, um, hrm. Those are the ones that come immediately to mind.
baldurs gate dark alliance
Any Sega Pico game, good for younger kids like it was designed for, that is why I got one for my niece but I've played the games a couple of times with her :)
IMO NiGHTS isn't too easy. It's not hard, but it took me a while to finish the game. Also, like with many classic older-style games NiGHTS is about more than just getting to the end of the game. It's about getting a good grade and a high score... not to mention trying to get huge chains. It's sorta like Ikaruga. You could unlock unlimited play and then just blast your way to the end, but that would kill the fun and challenge of trying to get a huge score and long chains. At least IMO...Quote:

Anyway, In NiGHTS it's still not too hard to get A's, but I found it decently challenging (and insanely fun!).
I don't have Burning Rangers. It's high on my list of Saturn games to buy though.
Turtles in Time was easy as hell but I still played it nonstop way back when.
man i used to play the shit out of nights to get good grades....now i pick it up and have no idea what im doing :) still havent finished br's yet.
KIRBY 64.
The ultimate scroll and jump game. Challenge yourself to a game of pit and spike-recognition! Don't jump in the pits or land on the spikes and you win! Use hundreds of attacks to mow throught the harmless enemies!
You guys need to stop snorting some of that stuff, it's harming your judgement. BR, Super Metroid, etc. were not the easiest games ever by a long shot.
The one that springs to mind for me is Mickey's Adventures in Letterland for NES. I was bored and decided to rent it for the hell of it.
Ikaruga.
Heh, someone had to say it. :D :p
Jaws for NES. IT had no end, so it wasn't easy in the "Easy to beat" sense, but it was easy in the "I can play this game as long as my attention span holds out and not die" sense. Same for Transbot on SMS.
I remember playing that for hours straight when I was little wondering why nothing new was happening.
Mickey's Magical Quest on the SNES is also a fun cakewalk.
Strider 2
Resident Evil
Mark of Kri
Final Fantasy X.
Except for one of the later bosses (CROSS SLASH! CROSS SLASH!! CROSS SLASH!!!), the game is kinda easy if you use the Sphere Grid properly.
Floigan Bro.s for the DC. It took about 3-4 hours to beat.
Final Fantasy Mystic Quest
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
Grandia II
Final Fantasy Adventure
Just because these games are easy doesn't mean I don't like them.
Columns. One of the few puzzle games where you could simply hold down on the controller and rack up the combos.
oh jaws had an ending. i remember watching a buddy of mine beat that and punch out over and over.Quote:

It DID?!?!?
How many times did you have to kill that damn shark to get it?
Or any Kirby platformer, except maybe the tougher games in Super Star.Quote:

They're still a blast, though.
Gungrave
Quackshot Staring Donald Duck
came home from the store and played straight to the end.
Was back at Electronics Boutique within 3 hours asking for an exchange.
oh and OmegaFlareX reminded me of another of the most dissapointingly easy games ever: Grandia 2
Metal Gear Solid was the first game I thought of, actually. MGS2 is pretty easy, too.
Though Sonic Adventure is also too easy, assuming we're only talking about beating the game.
Legaia 2 is also pretty easy. Fun though.
While some of the games seem easy on the surface getting every secret, or 100 percent or perfect grades is another thing.
Kirby 64 can get quite tough trying to aquire all the shards, with that said the inital run was easy.
I'll go with Donald duck going Quackers as I found all the costumes and secrets in a matter of hours.
I'll go with Kirby's Dream land. If you think you're gonna miss a jump, just press up. Kirby's way too powerful in all of his games.
Honorable mention goes to Darkwing Duck on NES, Paperboy (just watchout for that cheesy dog and hurricane) on NES,arcade Soul Calibur and arcade Marvel vs Capcom 2.
I was able to beat the first Kirby in under an hour. Unbelievably easy game. As was 64. Super Star was fun though.
Definitely Strider and Strider 2. Two incredibly easy, yet fun games.
Strider 1. What are you mad?!?!
If we are not talking about 100 percent completion, I'd have to say Super MArio World for SNES. I guess not the first time you play it, but after you know all those shortcuts you can beat it in like 20 minutes, maybe less.
Beat both of them with one credit and tell me they are easy.Quote:

No, I can't either.
My easiest game was that Yoshi Super Scope game, I think it was called Yoshi's Safari. I literally put it in, had no idea how to play and beat it on my first sitting.
IF it has an ending it's possible to play the game for 4 hours and not reach it. That's all I know. Why anyone would play such a crappy game longer than that is beyond me.Quote:

If Strider 2 was an arcade game, it COULD be beaten with one credit. Since it can't be...
Kirby 3 was the worst of the bunch. It's one of the few games so easy it was hard for me to even get through.Quote:

All of them... With infinnite Continues, and lives.. games are easy as hell..
Eh, I guess Kirby Super Star got somewhat difficult towards the end. A little.
Sword Of Vermillion (Genesis) gets my vote. After taking months finishing Phantasy Star II on the Genny back in 1990, I was expecting something more out of Sword Of Vermillion (even as an action RPG). I beat the game in 2 days and wound up returning it for something else. I'd kill for a harder sequel though ;)
Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest: I don't think I even died once in either two of the times I played through the game.
Strider 2: Way too easy, should've been more akin to Strider 1 in level design and the way the sword was used. Still a blast though.
Super Mario Bros. 2: Took me forever to plow through the first and third ones, which amazed me when I had already run through this thing two days after I got it when I was 8.
Gungrave: Not SUPPOSED to be hard, but playing the third level and trying to get the larges beat number is the greatest :D
There are plenty more, I know, but can't think of any off the top of my head. It's late, mebbe more later :)
Animal Crossing. No matter how hard I try I can't die in that game.
Dynamite Cop [or something like that] Dreamcast
Jet Set/Grind Radio Dreamcast
The problem with Strider 2 been easy is that Hiryu is too Powerful
What's with you people? OF COURSE Jaws had an ending.
Collect shells, go back and forth between piers to power up, bring Jaws's energy down, then stab him with the boat. Plane flies into the sunset, the end. You can beat it in about 15 minutes... kinda RPG-like. Random battles, collect shells from dead enemies as experience, then go to the piers to level up until you can easily kill Jaws. Good game.
Super Metroid is too easy, by the way. Incredible, but too easy.
Streets of Rage was also easy, as were Sonic 2 and 3.
GAH!!! AND someone mentioned Mystic Quest again. What a steaming piece of shit that was.
Of COURSE it's too easy; it was made special by Square for us retarded Americans. They even called it FF USA in Japan. It burns my eyes! The goggles, they do nothing!
Oh yeah, Super Castelvania 4 was very easy. Wonderful game...
I watched my friend win three rounds of kabuki warriors for x-box by smashing the controller into his rear end. Was inspired by a review. Its nice to see they are making video games for the blind and deaf now.
I'll add Parappa tha Rapper, for the PSX to the list. Easy and super short. I realy dug the visual style of the game, too bad there wasn't more substance.
I haven't played parappa 2 yet, but I get the feeling that it's alot like the first one.
Not special for Americans, just special for for people who were just entering the console rpg genre...Then again, I guess American console gamers could fit into that context at the time...Either way, the final dungeon song was great and shouldn't have been wasted on this game.Quote:

XMvsSF and MSHvsSF were super easy even when the arcade machine was set at the highest difficulty, skilled or not.
ZOE(Hello? Challenge? Bring your friends legnth, depth and fun too)
I found Medal of Honor: Frontline to be pretty easy as well.
Marvel vs Capcom 2
... i mean, what the hell... i can beat the game on the hardest difficulty using only my feet
please let the new version(s) have better AI
Bug
Bug Too
Clockwork Knight
Clockwork Knight 2
More easiness.
FF: Mystic Quest.
Megaman X4 was pretty easy.
Mega Man 8 was a snap.
