Easiest game you ever played

OK just like the title says. What is the easiest game that you have ever played? It can be from any system.

For me the easiest game that I can think of that I ever played was Ducktales for NES. That game was amazingly fun but pretty damn easy.

What games were maybe too easy?
 
Back to the future (C64)
completed the game within 1 minute 30 seconds of loading it.
 
Probably something on the Spectrum like Booty, Impossible Mission or on the PC Test Drive and Stunt Driver or whatever it was called. I would look up Booty on google but I don't think I'd find it anytime soon with that keyword.

Apparently you haven't played many games (or just beat it without trying to get the platinums).

Easiest game would have to be.. Yeah, Barney's Hide and Seek heh. I rented it for Genesis.

Yoshi's Story was pretty damn easy too.

On the highest difficulty that game was a bitch.
They shrunk the size of the pick box, doubled the screen size, increased the guess penalty and lowered your time.
They also sped up the speed of the cursor just to piss you off. Grrr.


I just got through Onimusha in 4 hours on my first time. Hopefully #2 is harder.

Edit:
Found a level 75 save of mine. The high score on the site is 79. It'll be a month before I get back to 79, but I figure, why not run it, eh?

"You should probably move that one there."

"and you should probably move that piece there"

Probably this one game of checkers where I kept telling this one kid where to move so I could beat them.

:lol!

Recently, Destroy Al Humans. Not only is the AI pretty "eh" but the projectile weapons travel so slowly it's laughable. :/
 
Gotta be Rhapsody... Stupidly easy, aside from finding my way through those confusing dungeons where every room looked exactly the same.
 
I was thinking Zelda:WW as well. That's all that comes to mind right now. I don't think I even died until the last battle in Zelda. Pretty dang easy

Wind Waker wasn't the easiest I've ever played, but I think it was the game I most wished would've been harder.

I agree 100% with that. I love the style and everything about Wind Waker, but the difficulty and sailing made me sad. It would have been so perfect too.
 
Not a video game, but at this one pizza parlor my friend and I used to frequent when we were ditching class back in high school there was a little tabletop pinball game that had to be the easiest fucking pinball ever made. I don't recall the name, but it had a cowboy theme. Now I suck at pinball, but this sad piece of wreckage had such a mild slope to its playfield that the ball moved like a snail. In addition, the targets were all easy to hit and there were a couple bonus multiplier holes that you almost couldn't miss. Top it off with an extra ball for a pathetically low score, and an extra credit for not much more than that, and you have a recipe for endless one-handed play while munching pizza with the other hand. Most times when I actually let a ball get past the flippers, the multiplied bonus earned me at least three more balls. When we'd leave, there would be a few dozen new free credits on the machine. :P

This generation it was Ace Combat 4.

How the hell was Booty easy?

Perhaps but getting those damn weapons was extremely hard. Or maybe I should say long and boring.

The challenge is to not fall asleep in the middle of it, especially the thunder one
 
I played Barney's Hide and Seek when I had my Sega Channel. That game was hard, well if your objective was to try and get barney killed.

*tries to run barney off a cliff*
*Barney approaches edge, then stops, puts on a crossing guard outfit, and holds up a stop sigh*
"SON OF A BITCH!"

Haha, same thing happened with my brother and I, but it was some weird soccer pinball game. I'm sure my brother (who's a pinball fanatic, and has won a real (Bally/Taito ran in 93 or something) pinball tourny once) could've gotten like a million credits on that thing, but it was SO BORING!
 
Pac-Man was the first I remember. In fact when I was 3 or 4, I "ran away" from home to Pizza Hut so I could play it.
 
Easiest game ever is also the worst game I ever bought, and very obscure to boot.

Pirate's Chase for the Bally Astrocade.

It was in the era of games-without-endings and ramping difficulty. Unfortunately, the difficulty plateaued very quickly and the game itself was very boring. I turned it off after my first game lasted and hour and I showed no signs of losign a guy without falling asleep. I was very bitter.

The "game" resembeled Pac-Man with no maze, but instead a field of dots. Move your guys around the screen getting all the dots (dubloons) without being hit by the one enemy, who's algorythm was to head straight for you-- and he never got faster than you. You could circle the screen and never get hit.

Game was just bad all around. What the hell happened to NaNaOn-Sha this generation?

I gotta go with Symphony of the Night for that one, myself.
 
Sword of Mana. Some actual difficulty might have made all the upgradeable weapons, stealth items, tedious to upgrade magic, and obtuse link bonuses somewhat useful.

Yes, but it would've never made the game "good," or "fun."
 
D, for the 3DO (later PSX also I believe).

seriously, when your premise for a game is that it MUST be won in under 2 hours, you better make sure it isn't easy enough for someone to beat the first or second time through.
