>games you owned as a child/teenager that you could never beat
>>12140471Fuck that bowser fight, I still don't know what the fuck you're supposed to do
>>12140473That does look pretty hardcore actually
>>12140471almost all of them, arcade games in the 1990s were hard as balls
>>12140831you mean 80s, 90s was when games left the unfair arcade philosophy behind with 16 and first 32 bits systems.
>>12140471Child: picrel. Not that it’s hard, I was just too young to figure out the mechanics of a fishing-themed RPG at the time.Teen: the second to last mission of Simpsons Hit & Run, Alien “Auto”topsy Part II. Can’t believe that’s “retro” now.
is that some kind of joke? isn't ikaruga pretty new?
>>12140992It's on the Dreamcast, old enough to be /vr/ even before the rules revision.
>>12140471
>>12140471I was 7 when I first played FF7 and I just couldnt figure out what was going on. Too many menus and I had never played an RPG before, I was only familiar with sidescrollers and mario. I couldnt even decipher where to go in the world I gave up within 30 minutes. Only played it to completion 20 years later.
>>12141038Is this a joke?
>>12140471My very first "game" was an NES multicart. Among the games I had Gradius. I also had Ghouls 'n Ghosts. Those are games where I would occasionally play the first level and maybe get to level 2 if I got really lucky.
>>12140956Arcade games were extremely prominent, influential and popular throughout the 90s. SFIII 3rd Strike came out in 1999.
>>12141290>Arcade games were extremely prominentno
>>12140831yep, well 80s, but same ideawhen I was a kid I just took it for granted that nobody actually beats arcade-style action games without some sort of cheat
>>12141317>Daytona USA>Tekken>DoA>Crazy Taxi>Dodonpachi>DDR>Soul Calibur>Beatmania>House of the DeadArcades were at the forefront of innovation and technology in the 90s. Your favorite game directors played arcade games back then.
They made it so fucking hard for no fucking reason.
I could never beat this piece of shit game because the Remagen level is beyond fucked. The bridge is surrounded by anti-tank mines which kill vehicle tracks. This wouldn't be a problem since you have a repair truck loaded with mine detecting engineers but there's a chance said truck could itself hit a mine and instantly blow up. The truck pathfinding could also skirt the edge of the town of Remagen itself and take a random 88 round in transit. There's also a battery of AT guns on a ridge overlooking the bridge so you're essentially forced to cross with infantry only. At the end of the bridge is two emplaced Panthers (who naturally block the road with their burnt hulks). If you do end up taking both ends of the bridge several dozen Arado jet bombers attack so you better hope your single AA truck didn't hit a mine or enter within 100 miles of aforementioned town. The town also needs to be cleared and there's an SS-crewed King Tiger in the center (the biggest thing you get are several 75mm Shermans which are likely missing all tracks in a minefield next to a burning repair truck). fun game though it was my favorite rts before i finally found world in conflict at a target
>>12140992I was like 10 in 2001
>>12140471A lot of sega games are nearly impossible (not the mainstream popular ones)
>>12142501What game is this
>>12142681name them por favor
I was an 80s kid and the NES was all that was out until like 7th grade. I barely beat anything. Games were fucking tough back then. I beat zelda, gi Joe, and maybe a handful of other games but just about every nes game I had was impossible especially for a kid...rc pro am, first tmnt game, legacy of the wizard, top gun, double dragon, etc
That fucking train
>>12140992That depends on whether you think 25 year old things are "pretty new."
>>12141060When I first played it I got stuck on demon gate, and couldn't get past it. I think I screwed myself by not picking up the enemy skill materia in hojo's lab.
