What veldt scroller is this?

>>3420209

Oh, please. That level never gave me one iota of trouble as a kid.

The lava stage, on the other hand...

this fucker scared the shit outta me. usually when one makes a mistake, they see they did so before their impending doom. but with medusa, you're shot dead before you can even comprehend it.

>>3421294
The lava stage is tricky, but the hyena lair level is the worst.

Oh fuck oh fuck oh fuckohfuckohfuckohFFFFFUUUUUUUCK

>>3421680

I agree with his one. His pattern is frustratingly unpredictable, that's what made it so difficult for me back in the day.

>>3420209
This game.

When I was ten I spent close to an hour trying to get to the final boss. I used up some lives and a continue trying to beat the metal sonic. After I beat him i thought I finally beat the game until Robotnik started running towards the actual final boss. I died trying to hit it and got a game over.

>>3421849
Nah, PTSD kicks in 10 minutes atleast

>>3421893
No, it starts when you realize that you have to punch all of the cages.

>>3421849
shadow fucking rayman

Don't even think about using password, you can't leave this stage and to beat it you will need all the upgrades you can collect through the game.

You have to beat the game in one sit, also when you finally reach the final stage you have one shot to beat it, because if you die you will lose your remote bomb, your block pass, your louie and your extra health.
You won't beat this game if you die a single time in the final sage. Did you just die? Reset the game.

>>3421932
>PUSH! START BUTTON!!

>>3421849

Game is fantastic.

It's THIS level you're refering to.

>>3421695
Why was this deleted? Couldn't find the Chaingunner?

>>3419810
This post belongs to this thread just as well.

The ostrich is alright in that level. The problem is those fucking rhino tails.

I just want to get to level 3!!!

>>3420209
Shit, that hyenna level was horrifying.

>>3421932
If I remember correctly, Youtuber Penguinz0/Critical did a play on his actual 64 Bomberman Hero card, and he fucked up on the re-do of the final stages which is a boss run leading to the final boss, he died in the lion water stage which is insanely harder than the normal lion stage, and he died, lost all his power ups after all his lives were lost, he didn't get to bear the final boss, he gave up.

>>3421680
He feels like the true final boss if you play Blanka since M. Bison can be cheesed to death with the lightning attack.

>>3421063
>veldt scroller

>>3420209
Why did lion king insist on being so fucking hard? How the fuck do you pass that part if you didn't have a guide? Then that bullshit ostrich part right after...

>>3422941
The producer literally said in the double fine lp of it that they made it super hard at that level because disney had contracts with rental companies to make the games not easily finishable.

>>3422941
But it's not that difficult, at least in the Sega version. The SNES has a much smaller viewable area and worse collision though, so I can kind of understand the complaints from people who played that version. Still, everyone seems to think the game is excessively tough nowadays but it's easier than most platformers of its time.

>>3422941
>How the fuck do you pass that part if you didn't have a guide?
You use deductive logic as only so many options are available, you brainless fucking moron.

>>3423025
meanwhile, Streets of Rage 2, one of the easiest games of all time, was rented by my family three times

then bought as a birthday present

we proceeded to beat it ten times that week, and then about twice a week for the next few years. we'd just be sitting around, and just decide to put SoR2 in and beat it again.

if the game is fun, "beating it" doesn't mean you're done with it

meanwhile, not having fun and getting mad at the game means you are done with it forever

WHERE ARE WE GOING SON?

>>3421063
kek

i should play demon's crest again

on second thought nvm

>>3423249
>tfw 33 years old and still never beat this mission.

>it's a backlash mission

feels good when you git gud at it but god damn it's hard to learn.

>>3423271
You just have to be very lucky

>>3423106
I think the producer would agree with you, suits just told him they had to do it

>>3423259
>game has passwords
>you can do literally everything except this part
>then password past it

I honestly don't get the hate for passwords vs. save games. Passwords were awesome.

NO DAD NO

this whole game

>>3423949

Does Crash Bandicoot even count? I think it's with Crash we started to see good 3D graphics.

Fuck hard mode

>>3423259
There's nothing that pisses me off more than my game telling me that it's too hard for me.

>>3421849
I'm playing this for the first time as a grown-ass adult and it's hard as shit.

I love it though.

>>3423274
fuck the backlash, jesus fuck.

>>3423716
Getting kicked back to 6-1 for the first time is one of the biggest gaming kicks in the balls.

>>3427552
Fuck this level and all that it stands for. I would waste so much time on this level.
Got near the end but the bomb blew up either by accident or one of the ufo's did it? TOO BAD, GO BACK AND REDO THE ENTIRE LEVEL.

Didn't help that the controls where horribly fucked on this one perticular levle as well.

The only good thing about the level is that it looks genuinely beautiful

>>3425918
>tfw never encountered warmech

>>3427945
>tfw encountered him every time I've played through FF1

>>3423249
Fuck yes. I never saw this level discussed - it was so difficult I thought I had a buggy version of the game. It took me 4-5 hours of constant replaying to finish the last level.

>>3421680
Jesus this. Sagat was a breath of fresh air and a relief after this guy.

>>3422941
I beat it legit as a kid with no guides. Just trial and error anon. It's only the second level, it's not hard to get back there and give it another go.

>>3423106
I still can't beat SoR2. Too hard for me.

Downwind Thieves Guild in Thief 1. Worst level in the entire series.

>>3423106
Streets of Rage 2 has a huge number of difficulty settings, three playable characters with unique movesets, and co-op. In a beat 'em up with great controls and a lot of style, that equals a huge level or replayability. It's a shame that more games didn't shoot for that kind of value over the occasional BS difficulty spike to discourage purely renting.

>>3427871
and yet. to complete it. you must MASTER all of stage 6 and final boss stage. By the time you can accomplish this you are literally controlling your character like the beast ninja he is supposed to represent.

so much pottery. so much badass.

>>3423716
This entire game is my trigger. why couldn't my dad buy something like duck tails

>>3423259
No joke i always thought that part wasn't so hard

>>3423619
There's no scream when she dies. Also, it doesn't make any sense as she dies as soon as it's filled with water, not after a certain period of time once it's filled.

>>3427552

what in the everloving fuck were they thinking with this game

>>3431748
Right there with you. It was the first game I can remember that demanded I get better or fuck off. Felt great to finally master it. I still die to Jacquio on occasion though.

>>3431941
>There's no scream when she dies
And fuck you, sir.

>veldt scroller
i don't get it

>>3432021
some autists on /vr/ kept insisting that beat'em ups should be properly called "belt scrollers" so that became a meme

>>3423049
>Still, everyone seems to think the game is excessively tough nowadays but it's easier than most platformers of its time.

I feel like that game was the only platformer casuals had on the MD other than Sanic.

>>3432021
Play FF6

NNNNNNNNN
Welcome to the Machine

It may not be difficulty related, but these fuckers used to scare the fuck out of me

>>3432347
I think they're kinda cute :3

>>3427581
ABU, DON'T LOOK BACK!!!

you know you shit your pants the first time you killed one of these

Why was this game so stupidly fucking difficult. Collect all the coins and win the race? Joking right.

>>3425043
contra for snes was one of those games where the gameplay was so comfy i never felt stressed even during the hard parts unlike the nes game

nightmares for weeks

>>3433693
This, but also he goes down like a wet noodle if you use Tanya. Just keep doing her drill kick and this guy can't do shit against it 9 times out of 10. I've double flawless'd him with her before. God have mercy on you if pick someone like Fujin though.

Erm, that's not much I'm afraid. I remember renting NES GnG for several consecutive months as a kid till I finally beat it. The make it hard, let them rent tactic works like charm.

>>3423716
I honestly don't find that game that hard. Don't get me wrong, level 6 can be a nightmare, but the game only begins to get difficult by levels 4 / 5. The last one is the only real challenge IMO.

>>3427581
This level always killed my Aladdin runs
Then my brother told me how to skip straight to the final levels

>>3434294
>level 6 can be a nightmare, but the game only begins to get difficult by levels 4 / 5. The last one is the only real challenge IMO

I'm guessing that's why the image chosen is somebody killing himself after getting sent back to 6-1. I agree with you, but no matter how legitimatelly hard it is, getting sent back there after losing to such a dickish boss like Jacquio is pure bullshit.

>>3420209

>>3423271
could be worse

i'm 30yrs old and never beaten the tutorial in the parking lot

>>3434583
also this

Killed my confidence for a month.

Also getting one or two-shot by one of these:

>>3423249
Somehow beat it few times back in the days, the trick for me in this mission as well as survival challenges is to either let police push you (they just straight launch you in the air you can fly over half of the city like this) just have to watch where you fly and let them launch you, hits from the rear took small sliver of health which was better than lose big chunk of health in case police would Tbone you or took straight on.

Another ingredient is to maneuver cops into everything.
To beat this mission I was making mad slaloms between cars, light poles trams, making last second turn from oncoming police (that was a killer)

I wonder whether I could beat it again, after so many years.

No one will understand my pain though, because they keep playing the crappy slowdown ridden PSX port instead of the silky smooth 60FPS TL2 version... ;_;

The battle in FF5 where you have to fight the Crystals.
I always cheese it by using GP Toss.

>>3420209
As a kid, this always scared the crap out of me.. dont know why, now i think its cute

>>3421389
>>3421294
>>3420209
I personally had the most trouble with the waterfall.

>>3435034
Kinda looks like a penis

>>3435034
Holy shit man.
I rember playing this game on an emulator without save states and trying to beat the final dungeon without Eureka stuff.

>>3425186
This but as a result of teleporting into a wall

>>3427945
>>3428779
>always encounter warmech

https://youtu.be/w2a6jAiyOTQ?t=2150

the level where you have to run away from the stone wheel

>>3434378
>I'm guessing that's why the image chosen is somebody killing himself after getting sent back to 6-1

Yea that's why I added the "don't get me wrong" part, I was really just focusing on the other levels. Being sent too much far back is always bullshit.

>>3436207
Arghh how do I hit them how do I avoid them I thought you could just go fast and things would be alright!

>>3425186
How was Wizardry even played? Everything I've heard about it makes it sound so hard no kid could manage to perform well enough to play it.

It seems like one of those games you'd play during a drought, like you're tired of all your other games and beaten them all and you know you're not gonna get a new game for another 6 months. So you just play Wizardry for days and days, writing shit down cuz it's the only way to remember what you gotta do and where to go and shit, and getting dozens of game overs.

Any game that has a fish that eats you whole disturbed me as a kid.

>>3421849
>how about instead of one great long level we separate it into 5 short parts that are hard as fuck?
Why

WHY

This is hard enough with a light gun, but I spent waaay to much time trying to beat it with a controller.

I'm surprised this hasn't been posted yet.

>>3434601
The game gives you the ship you need to handle these right off the bat, for pretty much free; all you have to do is learn how to use it.
