This reminded me. The Adventures of Batman & Robin on Sega Genesis was pretty god damn hard. Not the Batman & Robin for SNES. That one was different. I liked that one too, but it wasn't as difficult. The one for Genesis was more of an arcade run and gun shooter type of game.

Level up on the robot stage. They will spawn quickly and are worth a lot of exp. You will be full power the rest of the game. The final boss can be 90% killed with attack and assail. The first boss is easily the hardest. The tiger headed guy. |

I really need to play Phantasy Star II and III.
2 is on my Genesis Mini. I’m currently playing Crusader of Centy (Zelda clone) I saw the Ninja Gaiden Xbox game on a lot of lists. I’ve never played it, but I played the hell out of 1 and 2 on NES. Never beat either of them. |

I loved and hated the monastery. Was able to get Johanka "better" story ending. Loved getting Drunk with the priest. And was able to beat the game. |

My proudest gaming moment in hard games was beating Alpha centauri on the hardest difficulty setting. Yes, I saved scummed. A lot.

The oldest memory I have of beating a hard game is Karateka on Apple II. I also remember “beating” Congo Bongo on Intellivision.

Never played Dark Souls, but bloodborne had some frustrating moments.
Ghouls and Ghosts is right up there. The unfair platformer is hilariously tough. |

Yep. Great game. I haven't played any games in years, so these games may be easy for you guys. My picks: Ikaruga Chakan: The Forever Man Kid Niki Radical Ninja (later levels) The Contra sequels. I can beat the first one easily. The later ones kick my ass. P.S. As a kid I bought an Atari game called Swordquest (i think) at a yard sale. It was some sort of dungeon/puzzle game. You would make it through a laser maze and an item like a boot or a lamp would pop up in your inventory. No clues about what they were much less how to use them. I spent an entire summer trying to figure out WTF was going on in this game. I even bought a couple of funky controllers to see if that was the problem. 20 years later I looked the game up online - turns out it was game one in a series designed as part of a national competition and you needed a comic book published in ****ing 1982 to solve the damn thing. P.P.S. I'm convinced that Top Gun on the NES was some sort of Cold War Ender's Game invented by the Reagan administration. Last edited by Mennonite; 03-18-2021 at 10:57 AM.. |

Bloodborne and Dark Souls are brutal but fair once you've fully grasped the mechanics. Some of these games are just straight up unfair either by design or the flaws in technology at the time.

I think I owned that game. If I didn't, I played it at a friends house. I had no idea it took two joysticks. I remember having no clue what was going on on the screen. "Hey, is that a bullwhip?" " Nope, I'm a snake. You're dead. " I also remember Indy randomly falling Wile. E. Coyote style. It was just incomprehensible. In fairness, I was very young and I was playing it on a tiny black and white tv. |
