Member Prof Gumby Posts: 488 | I finished Bubble Bobble myself with the help of my brother playing as teamates. I agree, the last levels are hard... But wait to get to the 100th level! That one is almost impossible! ----- I am on a hot streak... Litterally. |

Member Prof Gumby Posts: 336 | I find the arcade version of Black Tiger quite taxing. I lost a kings rasnom on it as a child, and I still cant beat it with infinate credits and good old cheat.dat on MAME. I suffer from this on Karnov as well. And the 98th level of Bubble Bobble IS impossible. I wont believe its possible until ive seen it done in the flesh with my own eyes. And of course.... Jet Set Willy |

Member Dr Gumby Posts: 267 | Mission Impossible (C64) for me it was a truly impossible game to finish, so I setteled on finishing as much rooms as possible. ----- Lets make this a beefy place |

Admin Reborn Gumby Posts: 11142 | I remember one especially nasty scene in AitD3: when you get out of the barn, some zombie comes running for a suitcase containing explosives (?). I had to try this dozens of times to get the timing right. ----- Now you see the violence inherent in the system! |

Member Retired Gumby Posts: 964 | I've always found the difficulty of Indy 4 very well balanced. Not too easy, not too hard. Another hard one: Alone in the Dark 3. There are some unfair parts, but after all, you can finish it. |

Admin Reborn Gumby Posts: 11142 | Indy 4? That's one game I wouldn't have expected here in this thread. It's certainly not very easy, but I couldn't name any puzzle where I was stuck for a really long time now. And no, I didn't use a walkthrough, because I didn't have one available at that time ----- Now you see the violence inherent in the system! |

Member Prof Gumby Posts: 560 | Quote: Apparently, you're the first person in the world who has ever finished it! The only really tricky parts as far as I'm concerned are A: the time limit but that usually isn't a problem after a few tries. B: One really fat guard who is the second best (third if you count the player of course ) warrior in the game. He kicks my arse a lot of times so getting past him can be a prob but not impossible. C: your reflection (only valid the first time you play, 'cause after that you know what to do) Quote: Discworld is really impossible to finish if you haven't at least read a few of the books. The logic is too different to follow otherwise. (And even if you have read them, it's mostly trial-and-error) Whilst I agree that reading the books helps to understand the logic in some parts of the game, in general I didn't find it that hard an adventure. Maybe my logic is as twisted as Pratchett's Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis ranks as one of the thoughest games I've beaten so far. You can hardly call it impossible to finish but it sure is hard to do it without any help. Also one of the most enjoyable adventures I've played with its multiple storyline and such (+ Indy remains to be cool even if he is 50+ by now ) A game which is also nearly impossible to finish was Daggerfall... not so much because of the game itself but more because of the plentifull bugs. Although when I actually managed to finish it, it turned out to be pretty hard. There is but 1 game I can remember as actually being impossible to beat and that was an RTS where you played both sides of a conflict simultaniously but those missions where ridicioulsly hard and the controls and AI totally screwed any chance of succes. too bad I can't remember the name right now but that is actually the one game I can remember I had to put away because I couldn't hack it. All others (as far as I can remember) I either finished or got too bored with to even try to finish (which in it's own way I guess also counts as being impossible to beat... ) ----- "In theory, if people bred as fast as ants, and with an equal indifference for it's surrounding species, earth would have 5 million human inhabitants at the turn of the century.

Member Prof Gumby Posts: 432 | I only played prince of persia once or twice because I could never get it to work for long (original version) but I agree with the difficulty! Larry 6: first larry game I finished without help. indeed, wicked puzzles! I agree on Xadium, too. I just remembered another one (quite new): Vietcong. Comes with a lot of nasty bugs, but when I tried to finish a cooperative multiplayer mission with two of my friends, our kill count was lower than the AI's...first time a shooter could do THAT to me. And another: kid icarus(nes) Dang, that was hard! Edited by Johann67 at 11:46 on June, 24th 2004 ----- If it ain't broken, you're not trying hard enough. |

You would be skinned alive if you said that in another forum I'm visiting I keep trying Sensible World of Soccer because a lot of people say how great it is.

Member Prof Gumby Posts: 607 | Quote: Mr Creosote: One addition: Prince of Persia. I'm always falling down (and die) because I can't make the long jumps. One of my favourites. Until the point where you know all the levels by heart it's very hard indeed. This reminds me I should try it again to see if I can still finish it. Can't think of a top five for the moment but one game that's nearly unbeatable is Street Rod 2 (PC/Amiga): a street racing game in which you have to beat 'the King'. It was doable in Street Rod 1 but the sequel is just impossible if you ask me. ----- "One Very Important Thought" |

Member Prof Gumby Posts: 336 | At work of the moment so can devote too much thought to it, but two games that spring to mind are.. Last Ninja 3 on any 8-bit system. I have the ZX Speccy version and despite spending a LOT of time and effort on it, ad coming close to finishing it once or twice I have never managed it. Aldo - Another World by Delphine on the Megadrive. That is rock hard! |
