Jim Power, man. Jim Power.



I remember me and my brother torturing ourselves on this shit while my other brother just observed and laughed at all our failures. And to top it all off, while agonizing over this game, my dog gets hit by a truck going ~60mph. This game can burn in hell.

Oh, and I would seriously commend anyone who can actually finish Drakkhen without any kind of help at all. This one's more difficult in terms of testing your patience than anything.

i really feel that a lot of games back then were designed to seek help through friends and stuff.

unfortunately nowadays your friend is the internet and she knows ALL the answers

The truth is, Yagami-kun, I suspect that you may in fact be Kira.

The only modern game I personally have played that rivals the old ones in difficulty and in punishing mistakes is Ninja Gaiden: Black. On any difficulty above normal, you will get raped. Repeatedly. And then you learn all the enemies moves, and your own, and can waltz through most enemies without taking a scratch....then you hand the controller to your buddy and he dies in 3 seconds flat to the basic purple imp thingys.

Not the hardest but the most frustrating : you could go for the real 500 and after 2 hours of playing and heavy concentration, a random AI car would bump into yours and it was game over man game over. Stupid AI never let me finish a complete event. Can only be compared to the feeling you'd get playing the most epic SC2 match of your life and battle net crashing at the climax of the 200/200 fight.

Bah, may not be a "Video" game technically, but you can't top Nethack for countless ignominious deaths.

If you've ever had a level 14 Valkyrie with Mjolnir killed by a grid bug because a floating eye paralyzed you, you know what I mean.

I can't believe no one has mentioned Ghosts'n'Goblins yet. Seriously, look it up, it's incredibly difficult.

I am currently playing Age of Empires.

There is a map in the third campaign that i restarted about 30 times and used save and load for about 50 times. That's a single mission.

I predict ending it late summer :D


you know I had like all the CDs when I was younger. It seems crazy if I could go back with all my sc2 RTS skill and clean up in that game. Sad part is I lost all my discs Maybe I buy back in the future and we battle.

Actually TMNT wan't that scary until you fought the Technodrome if i remember it right... Played this on and off when i was 9-10 years old .

Well, it is more about using Leonardo and Donatella for everything serious and Rapha/Michaelangelo just to "run" :p while remembering where the next Pizza is then "skill" :p.
