/vr/ - Retro Games

Pretty much anything by Bitmap Brothers. Especially Chaos Engine and Speedball 2: Brutal Deluxe. They have some of the best pixel art you'll ever see.

Frontier: Elite 2 was arguably better on Amiga than on PC. The sounds and music were better, and although the PC version added textures they were really crap and the graphics ended up looking worse than the flat-shaded polys in the Amiga version.

There are two different types of retro hard
> crappy game with unfair, cheap mechanics and terrible controls that clearly was not play tested

> game literally made to be a challenge and is considered great

for me, those good hard games were Speedball 2 and Populous on the master system
