What are the most challenging retro games?

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 23 15:44:47 2023 No.10268456 >>10268176 I liked the artstyle and theme of this game. gameplay was also cool. never cared enough to make it past the first level though, lmao

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 23 16:02:17 2023 No.10268502 >>10268456 i rented it a lot back when my video store was slow to get new snes games in. im not sure i ever got past the raft level until later in life.

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 23 16:35:47 2023 No.10268578 >>10268176 I thought Legend of Kage was really difficult, both the NES and arcade versions. Loved the jumping gameplay though.

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 23 16:37:02 2023 No.10268581 >>10268176 The most challenging retro game is finding time to play retro games

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 23 22:00:08 2023 No.10269341 >>10268176 Some arcade tier shmups that 99.9% of gamers will not enjoy playing. What you posted isn't even close. It's the type of game in the realm of being beaten by normal humans, even children.

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 23 22:11:02 2023 No.10269362 >>10268176 Something absurd like Demonophobia where the "fun" is just in the masochism of it rather than the actual experience.

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 23 22:37:25 2023 No.10269417 Super Star Wars trilogy is far more difficult. Also you got Gradius III, 7th saga, Super R-type, all more difficult than SGnG

>Super Star Wars trilogy
im pretty good with the first one since i know where a lot of 1ups and powerups are
also that one total cheater room under the cliff where you can get max lives but ive beaten it without cheesing it too lol
the other ones i never beat tho

ill nominate the ninja gaiden trilogy
all really difficult games
but also actually good too, so you dont feel like an idiot for playing them like a lot of other bullshit hard games

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 23 23:19:51 2023 No.10269518 >>10268176 I think beating the US version of CV3 Trevor only was probably one of the most difficult gaming experiences I've ever had.

oh that reminds me
more people should try street fighter 2010 for NES
stupid hard but its got some crazy music and its pretty unique. idk what to even call the game. sometimes its a platformer, sometimes its a boss rush. like alien soldier almost

>>	Anonymous Sun Sep 24 00:14:28 2023 No.10269649 Ninja Gaiden 3 for the NES is difficult. I'm playing it now. They added limited continues to a Ninja Gaiden game.

>>	Anonymous Sun Sep 24 18:58:35 2023 No.10271392 >>10270717 This isn’t that hard, just long of you don’t know what you’re doing.

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 25 03:00:02 2023 No.10272371 >>10269523 >>10272168 This game is like the /vr/ equivalent of something like Super Meat Boy, especially if you put it on the 1 hit death option.

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 25 03:00:24 2023 No.10272372 Who cares. I play games because they're fun and I enjoy them, not to satisfy some shitty zoomer difficulty checklist.

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 25 05:24:21 2023 No.10272741 >>10272276 Why would anyone play this

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 25 05:32:45 2023 No.10272751 >>10268176 This, the design of this game is amazing in how every little thing was thought out to fuck over the player and make them lose. Its like the prime example of Artificial Difficulty in gaming.

>>10269649
This is why I find it to be the most difficult of the NES games. Mechanically it plays best and I don't think the first few levels are too difficult. But the limited lives makes me feel too much pressure. It also has a lot of levels. I still need to beat it. I got myself through the other two games though. NG1 was hardest to play but you at least get infinite continues.

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 25 11:10:30 2023 No.10273265 >>10272209 That cart track level probably filtered most from even continuing into the third level.

>>	Anonymous Tue Sep 26 06:10:04 2023 No.10275496 >>10274114 >There's fun in a challenge Sure, but trying to checklist everything and say "i neeeed to beat all da hard games for anonymous /vr/ approval" is retarded. You should play games you ENJOY.
