/vr/ - Retro Games

For me, it's Ninja Gaiden (NES). Like, it had such a good story, and cinematic cutscenes and everything, but like it was so much freaking torture to suffer through the repetition and near frame-perfect moves you had to memorize in order to get to the next chapter, lol.

I mean, having actually made it to the end after three months of struggle was ecstatic, when I finally managed to do it, but like in the long-run, I'd definitely recommend just watching a full playthrough, lol.

Great story; brilliant animation and music (especially considering that it was like 1989), but... yeah. I might could possibly be able to do it again, given a primo controller with an original system, however I don't think I'd spend the time at this point when I could just watch the results of someone else who already did.

So what game did you slave over until you finally beat it, only to find years later that it wasn't something you were interested in doing again, /vr/?

Hardest games on S/NES?
