Hardest Games Ever

Pac-Man. I mean, there's just no end.

[Les Waste]

OMG BUCKY O HARE!!!!!!

Ghosts and Goblins or Ghost and Ghosts or whatever the fuck they were called for NES and SNES were absolutely fucking IMPOSSIBLE.

There are so many other fucking games that were just assholes.

[mew barios]

battletoads

[Ninjavenom]

Trans-fucking-formers. The first one.

[Cap'n Crunch]

Is it me, or has it only been these kind of topics in gaming for about a month?

How many levels are there in Arkanoid? I never beat that one.

[Schimid]

NOW IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO GET OUT OF MY TOPIC.

HOW THE TABLES HAVE TURNED

[Cap'n Crunch]

You aren't funny.

[Schimid]

I WASN'T TRYING TO BE FUNNY, I WAS TRYING TO TELL YOU TO GET THE FUCK OUT.

SPOILERS

I agree with Ghosts 'n Goblins for arcade/NES. (Super) Ghouls 'n Ghosts wasn't nearly as bad as the original. I remember the first time I 'beat' that game on NES with my friend. It was 3 in the morning, we were playing for hours... we got to the end, only to see:


THIS ROOM IS AN ILLUSION
AND IS A TRAP DEVISUT BY SATAN.
GO AHEAD DAUNTLESSLY!
MAKE RAPID PROGRESS!


And then being forced to go through ALL THAT SHIT again!!


We actually did finish it eventually, but not that night.

DOUBLE POST.


haha how ironic

[Zero Signal]

Ikaruga

[pjalne]

Ikari Warriors II. I mean, you can take about eight hits, and if an enemy corners you he can kill you in two seconds. And you have one life and no continues. I's just insane. I can't get two minutes into it without quicksaving/loading.

Also, TMNT.

Good. I thought I was the only one.

Jet Set Willy.

Quality 8-bit platform/jumping/dodging/collect em up. You have seven (count 'em) lives, many hundreds of screens and many thousands of items to collect. No.

Jet Set Willy 2
Exactly the same layout but with better graphics... except that more areas were added and expanded the game size five fold. To help you, they gave you eight lives instead of 7.

Jet Set Willy 97
This was made by a fan of the originals, and used the same graphics but had new areas - and was still just as impossible.

No-one, ever, has been able to complete these buggers. So there,.

And yeah Ghouls 'n Ghosts/Ghosts 'n Goblins is definitely one of the games atop my list.

I would also have to say Abe's Oddworld and Abe's Exodus were pretty goddamned hard games. They really test your patience...

Astrosmash for the Intellivision was also crazy when you got to the higher levels. Shit eventually fell from the sky so insanely fast that it became friggin impossible. Damn I loved that game...

[Bennett]

pj,

I don't know if this works on an emulator, which it sounds like you're playing it on... but on the original nes, there was a Ikari warriors code that was so well known, that they didn't even bother to give you any lives. after you died, you'd just push A-B-B-A (I'm pretty sure that was the code) and your character would respawn. No bad dance music either. However, I would recommend you cut your losses and just quit playing anyway, because once you get to the final boss, the respawn ability is taken away, and I've never been able to put a scratch in him... anyway you look at it. that game sucks.

[ScruU2wice]

I can never beat Legends Of Zelda: Links Awakening. It pisses me off cuz my friend got it and beat it in like a month. im such a failure...

[Les Waste]

I don't think Ikaruga was all that hard. It wasn't easy, but supposedly there's a way to win it without firing your guns. You just switch back and forth between black and white and use your special weapon. I can't even imagining doing that.

Battletoads wasn't hard, because I'm certain there was nothing after the fucking speeder bike level. The guys who made it just fucked up and forgot to make it possible to do that level.

The Adventure of Link (Zelda 2) was a hard fucking game. But only really after you start going through those caves to get to the great palace. Up to that point it's easy, but after that it's a bitch. The great palace was a pain in the ass.

[whoreable]

i fucking loved zelda 2. my fav zelda game ever.

[pickleninja]

Contra: Shattered Soldier was hard, even on easy mode

[Krythor]

I could do TMNT for the nes up to the point where you reach Splinter. After that it's fucking impossible.

I wouldn't say Ghouls 'N Ghosts for the Snes was that hard, but I never did complete it the second time round when you had to make sure you completed it with that blue fireball weapon or whatever it was.

Megaman. No saves.

The Simpsons: Bart's Nightmare. What the fuck was up with that game?

[Grande]

any of the NES ninja turtles games and battletoads theyre pretty f'in tough

[pjalne]

Bart VS. The Space Mutants. I would get to the museum level, which would be impossible to finish within the time limit even if you were invincible and could run over all the pits, and then I would get to the dinosaur and I could never defeat him because I didn't realize you were supposed to jump onto two invisible platforms hanging above certain death. I tried playing it on an emulator a month ago, and I got furious at the game for not making any sense. It really was a shitty game.
