No one is hard until you do low percent hard, then mecha ridley is pure insanity. I'm doing 10% hard and it's insane when you fight him, then you have to escape.
this poll is silly. where are ridley kraid and iron ted? and charge beamst doesn't even count as a boss, really.
also, whoever said there is nothing truly random in a game and everything is determined by the player, that isn't quite true. firstly, in some games the random seed is based on some arbitrary value, like (say) the clock time or the amount of blocks used on a memory card. and secondly, it is possible to obtain a random number generator based on radioactive decay, and while currently nothing except advanced research applications require the resulting true randomness, perhaps in a few years or decades we will see hardware (and games) that cannot be random-manipulated. this would not be nice for us, nor for our friends at tasvideos.
