Well couldn't find the old topic through search so new one:

We've had a topic about rom's/old games a while ago, talking about the zelda games etc. I mentioned the game Rygar there, which was incredibly hard to beat at the time (on NES, no saves, you got stronger by defeating enemies, but if you die you can only restart with few health).

I'm happy i can announce that i've finally seen the ending. Must have been (over?) 20 years that this game is haunting me, finally i can let it rest knowing i've seen the end credits.

Oh and they sucked big time. :)

Haha, congrats J! 8-) How long did it take you? I don't suppose it's coincidence that you did this during the exam period. :P

(for our Americans, he's taking about the legendary Contra http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contra_%28video_game%29 )

Hey J, for even more of a challenge try the Silver Surfer game :lol:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_Sur ... eo_game%29

Silver Surfer is regarded as an extremely hard game for these reasons:

Quote:
* Silver Surfer can only take one hit before dying.
* Most of the game's enemies take multiple hits to kill.
* Silver Surfer dies upon touching any obstruction in the level. This difficulty is compounded by the fact that his surf board is large and open areas are very small.
* Most of the time Silver Surfer is being attacked by large numbers of enemies coming from all directions, some of which can shoot.
* The movements of some of the enemies (particularly in Mephisto's level and the Magik Domain) are extremely erratic and rapid, which makes them unpredictable and hard to dodge.
* In some levels, it can be hard to tell what bits of scenery are obstructions.
* Whenever Silver Surfer dies, he has to restart the level from either the start or a checkpoint. Continues are limited.
* Silver Surfer can only go in a straight line, and threrfore cannot enter slanted areas without dying.

Just to clarify: the game is actually called Rygar, Contra is a whole other game. :P

Haha, sorry. Contra was named Gryzor in Europe...hence the confusion. Rygar, Gryzor, whatever. :P
