Quote HistoryQuoted: Battletoads I didn't think Zelda 2 was that hard. Contra wasn't too bad as long as you kept the spread gun. TMNT, you gotta keep going to the room with the scrolls, and max them out for all 4 Turtles. Raph and Mikey are useless. Use them on the dam and the overworld. Don and Leo were the only choices for most of the combat. |

I remember finally beating Castlevania 2: Simon's Quest and being so proud of myself.
That game is simply impossible without a cheat guide or help. Like know what water you can randomly jump into to reach a lower level (even though the same water kills you every time before that). Or having selected a specific item and kneeling in front of a wall for 5 seconds to be carried to a new area. It was only later that I found out the people in the town don't even give you accurate help dialogue. They're made to confuse you. I used to call that Nintendo Power Hotline for help. At least Nintendo Power had some decent level guides too. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: NES was the last of the days when home games were kind of modeled off arcade games....which were designed to be very hard, and suck quarter from you all day long. SNES got more into being able to save more often, and didn't penalize you with a hard restart when you die. https://media.tenor.com/GFBCsHZeBQ4AAAAC/ghouls-n-ghosts-duck.gif |

 Attached FileThis is the only game that has ever made me truly rage quit. I got so frustrated that I turned the game off and didn't touch it again for about a year.  About halfway through the game, there's a checkpoint that won't let you pass unless you have one specific person on your team. After chasing him halfway across the map, just missing him every time ("Oh, he just left" or "He's headed to _____"), he eventually returns home and takes a nap. Should be easy enough to wake him up, right? WRONG. Wake him up and he tells you to go away. Don't wake him up and he stays asleep. No matter how much I tried, I could not get that old geezer to wake up, which meant I couldn't get past the gate to play the second half of the game. What made it even more frustrating was that after picking up where I left off a year or so later, I somehow actually managed to wake the old dude up! The problem was that I had absolutely no idea how I did it, and was unable to recreate the feat for many, many years, always getting stuck in that exact same spot. Thanks to the internet I have since learned the secret trick needed to wake him up, which I would have never guessed or thought of in a million years, but somehow randomly managed to do once as a teenager. No video game to date has ever frustrated me as much as this one did. It truly is a great game, similar in looks to Dragon Warrior, but thankfully your walking speed is much faster, as the world map is rather large.  Attached File Attached File Attached FileThe story is actually pretty awesome, set in Ancient China during the Three Kingdoms era, and loosely based on the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms. You get to recruit a bunch of historical warlords to your cause and lay siege to a bunch of castles, so its got that going for it, which is nice.  Seriously though, most frustrating game EVER if you don't know how to wake up Rip Van Winkle, and there's not a single hint or clue in the game on how to do it.

Quote HistoryOne night, when my cousin was sleeping over, I played clay pigeons and flipped the score back over to zero. Once you hit 1,000,000, it started over. At that point, you are allowed no misses and the pigeons disappear from the screen pretty quick. My cousin was getting bored and grabbed the gun and fired away from the screen, ending my game. |

Using his map was way easier than stumbling around in the dark. I still have the official Nintendo Power Strategy Guide for that game.  Attached FileI originally beat the game without it, but after using the strategy guide, it got to where I could run the Dragon Lord's castle blind just by counting steps and bumping into walls. It's still one of my favorite games ever! What's really interesting is that the game is still going strong today, thanks to the Dragon Warrior Randomizer tournaments. They're on YouTube, for anyone interested. |
