In Ghosts 'n Goblins (at least the arcade version), if you fight a Red Arremer for a minute without killing it, it mutates into a super-aggressive "White Arremer" (pic related).

That you get armor in Shatterhand if you collect the same sequence of letters twice, and you can ride your robots.

>GnG is a horrible game.
I recently picked it up on the 3DS eshop, and I concur with this sentiment. I am also willing to accept that I'm probably terrible at the game and that's coloring my judgement.

I usually have the opposite reaction.

Just arrived in the thread and read everything, I've never said I gave up on hard games or anything.

Also, Megaman series was one of my favourite as kid because I loved the challenge.

I just don't have time anymore to spend hours on a single game to learn patterns, alas

I see where you're coming from. I can see a game being too difficult to feel like being worth it.
Some people revel in the difficulty, though. It feels good to have a game make you its bitch, because you get a rush when you finally beat it back down.

right, but a difficult game is not neccessarily a good game even though good games can be difficult ones.

Well, one thing I just learned. Red Arremer appears to fire a miniature Sinistar at the player.

Now all we need is a level where you fight Red Arremer and Sinistar at the same time.

>Things you only recently learnt about classic games

Early game SoTN in the Alchemy lab, there is an area with red skeletons and an elevator. I tried having them walk over the button for it, and then jumping up the platform. I never worked. I only found out recently that you can kill them ON the button, and it stays pressed, so the elevator goes all the way to the top. Then you can get the Combat Knife there. Knives and knuckles in that game are low power, but insanely fast attack. If you get close, pretty much anything is dead.

The orange car can go batshit on any level after 4. Supposedly the car model 2 handles better than the third. The tracks repeat after 24, but I knew that.
