X-Men “Reset the Computer”. Fuck you. Litterly never got past that and years later saw the truck in an old gaming magazine. If I met the dev who came up with that I’d still punch him.
There was this game called Master Blaster on the NEC TurboGrafx console where half the game was in your ship and the other half was your pilot out fighting bosses. Never did finish that game, it was not kind to making mistakes.
* Mr. Gambini, what is a “younger”
Thanks a lot. Now I’ll be firing up the old NES today.
Dark souls what? Try “The Adventures of Bayou Billy” or “Akari Warriors”. Modern games have nothing on the original NES frustration games.
The third stage of battle toads was also hell
I never beat Mike Tyson as a kid and couldn’t figure out how. I now know so many years later but I don’t think I’ll ever go back to try again.
TMNT 1989 wants a word with you
Is that a Challenge?
Fucking Ghosts ‘n Goblins!
I nominate the underwater level from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
The GOAT of video game bosses undoubtedly.
1 frame reaction time. Good luck, kids.

We need more games like this today. I remember the joy of beating this game once.

Watched a dude on GDQ beat him blind folded and that almost made me give up gaming completely lmao
Ninja Gaiden on NES was near-impossible. I beat it as a kid somehow, probably with Game Genie.
Battle toads is way harder
I’ll beat Mike way before I can beat DS
Yes, i remember playing sonic the hedgehog on pc and it’s harder than soulsborne games because you had limited lives, no auto saves.
Considering people can beat Mike Tyson blindfolded I don’t think this is a good comparison to a dark souls boss
lord i still remember the cheat code to get to him lol
Dark Souls of my time was called Golden Axe
Also there were Ghosts’n’Goblins and Demon’s Crest
Beyond the Beyond was Dark Soul for us RPG players.
I watched a dude play against him blindfolded yesterday. It was wild
Ninja Gaiden, TMNT, Karate Kid
The difference is that DS is hard but fair. Older games were made unfair on purpose because of memory constraints.

Sheffs kiths
Shudders in Ninja Gaiden
Top Gun. Landing that damn plane was no easy feat.
Edit: the original Pitfall was also super tough.
“Mike is waiting thor your challenthe!”
