IMHO very few of those will be beat without practice though, which was a stipulation in the first post. Yes there are many 8/16 bit games that are 10-30 minutes long once you're good at them and know what you're doing and where the enemies will be coming from.prfsnl_gmr wrote:[
Also - and while I appreciate this thread - I think it would be more interesting if we limited the discussion to games from the 32-bit era forward. (In my experiience, almost every non-RPG 8-bit and 16-bit game can be completed in a single sitting.)

Felix the Cat for the NES. A good game that can be beat under 2 hours

How about kung fu on the nes? It takes about 20 min to beat.

Haha, maybe people can click the U icon in my backloggery signature down there and see if any of the games on that list count.

Credit feed like a boss.
You'll be knocking off 6-7 games per day.
