Ah, well I'll respectfully disagree but then I guess not everyone is going to feel challenge the same way. In my personal opinion, Mega Man/NES is a tougher game than X, and having beating Sonic 2 I didn't see it as all that hard. Also I don't believe game length is a good metric on which to base difficulty - by that token, games like GTA San Andreas would be counted among the most difficult, but as I'm sure you'd agree it's far from that. Actually, I think it's better to look at difficulty in almost the opposite angle - how FAST does it take for Bad Things to happen to you (for example, lose a life, or see the "Game Over" screen). By that account I still stand by games like Super Zaxxon because yeah, they tend to happen pretty quickly. 
However, I DO agree with you on some of those 90s fighters - they are indeed tough, especially some of the KOF bosses as I recall.
