gmanyo Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 I'm standing by Dwarf Fortress, I've probably spent 20+ hours on it and I still don't even know how to play it. Rhythm games are incredibly hard to master; the hardest levels take years to be able to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmanyo Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Yeah, but the hardest levels are still insane. Like this from Flash Flash Revolution (click "Toggle display song preview"). The best score on that song is all perfects except one miss and 21 goods I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterE Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 why would riven or myst be mentioned in a thread about hardest computer games ever? i went through myst at about 13yrs old, when it came out. they have some tricky puzzles but i'd hardly call them 'hard' games. compare them to something like zork...

dr lopez Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 riven is way harder than myst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Frankie5fingers Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 yeah, but its still not difficult compared to other really hard games. im with MisterE on this, the myst games really arent that hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterE Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 riven may be longer, but while i didn't get around to playing that one myself until around 2000, i would still say it doesnt belong anywhere near a list of 'hardest' games. again, check out one of the first zork games. riven and myst are like a walk in the park next to those. i will say that myst and riven were both great experiences though.

Capsaicin Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I'm standing by Dwarf Fortress, I've probably spent 20+ hours on it and I still don't even know how to play it. Rhythm games are incredibly hard to master; the hardest levels take years to be able to play. Stick with it. Dwarf Fortress is the proverbial shit. It's the most hilarious, rich, complex, rewarding, and enthralling game I've ever played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest couch Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 SNES The Lion King It's a game targeted at young kids. The furthest I ever got was the Elephant Graveyard. I'm sure if I dusted off my old SNES I could complete the game now. But back then it was the hardest one I had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcock Posted April 23, 2013 Author Share Posted April 23, 2013 i finished that game on the sega, it wasnt too bad i didnt think. the last boss was a bit of a scumbag but it didnt take too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spratters Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I'm gonna suggest Jurassic park 1 for the original Gameboy. I couldn't ever get past the T-Rex on the second level. It was a good game up till then though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundwave Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 as a matter of interest how many 8 bit games has anyone actually completed? I think I did 2 and I think they were Mario and Ghostbusters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tec Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I'm gonna suggest Jurassic park 1 for the original Gameboy. I couldn't ever get past the T-Rex on the second level. It was a good game up till then though. Jurassic Park on the SNES, you couldn't save it and it took up so much time, then when you finally completed it you met with this kick in the bollocks which was just the intro but played in reverse.

Also, it's not too fun knowing that once I get good at it, most of my games will end because it lags too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dylanmcknd Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Probably Takeshi no Chosenjo as a legit published game, instead of something like i wanna be the guy which was just distributed for free on the internet. Sorry if it's already been mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbpete Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 There was a level of Robocop on the C64 with a timelimit so harsh that the only way to beat it was to learn how to glitch through a wall. See 5:50 here - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Aserinsky Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 The Amiga version of Robocop was insanely hard to, today I still can't get past the first level. On Amiga games if you can complete Shadow of the Beast II without using the 10 pints cheat, then hats off to you. Because that game is HARD (although the game over sequence, at the time was so worth it) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGf5xpaRIx8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macca Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 this is a reasonably feeble to addition to the thread, but i remember loving the shit out the southpark n64 game when i was small, and yet i never could finish the final robot boss, even with god mode and infinite ammo cheats. that guy was a fat robot dick. rofl, a memory of my own childhood as well that Southpark N64 game! this was a destroyer of many hours for me (probably already posted in the thread!)

aencre Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 That marbles puzzle at the end of Riven rendered the game impossible to complete for colorblind people. So, yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spratters Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Not the hardest but it took me a good while to complete Rainbow Island on the Amiga. Quite a sense of achievement that was. Unfortunately I lost the photo I took of the winning screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
