Really Hard Games

Sounds like a glitch. NES games had alot of them it seems. The end of bionic commando was a pain too if you didn't get the timing right.

One of the greatest games of all-time, though. And unlike most games back then, the arcade version sucked.

i had a copy of the nes metal gear: snake's revenge when i was about 8. played it a ton and could not get out of the first level. a few years ago i checked it up on the internet and found out what i needed to do (key card in a jeep), but i could swear i already tried that. pulled the game out and tried, no key card. bought another copy. key card. some fun glitch, huh?

I only saw the arcade version of bionic commando once. Snakes revenge was horrid so taht glitch doesn't shock me. It's an unofficial metal gear for a reason lol

Why is it unofficial? It's made Konami, it has Snake.

they made the game without the knowledge of hideo kojima and only for ntsc and pal regions. when hideo found out about it, he made his own sequel which is considered canon. which basically relegates snake's revenge to fan fiction status.

Wow, I didn't know all that. I think Kojima thinks too highly about himself, I mean it's pretty ballsy to tell your boss: "I didn't give you permission to make that and it's not official." I give credit where credit is due, he is the mastermind behind the awesome games. But the character and game series belongs to Konami. Kojima works for Konami, not the other way around.

in all fairness to kojima, snake's revenge did have a lousy story if i remember correctly. and they did want him to continue the series.

Actually I think he co-owns the rights to his games because he's in on the MGS movie they keep trying to make. Actually most Metal Gear fans won't even acknowledge Snake's Revenge as an official game in the Metal Gear universe. FUnny thing is that the game "Snatcher" which he created for the same computer as Metal gear and was ported to the Sega CD and PS in Japan is part of the metal gear universe because his robot sidekick is based on the original Metal Gear and this sidekick is in MGS 4 as the little robot Otacon uses to help out. I just wish he'd remake the original metal gears in MGS styles.

as for hard games. the freaking scooter level in freaking battletoads. got me every freaking time.

I still have nightmares of that horror

I remember that as well. I thought it was just me . Well Ikugara for the GC is a really tough one as well.

The original rygar, the US version of FF2 for the snes (they brought over the hard version as they had 2 version sin japan), Dissidia Final fantasy is whooping me at the moment (just the final boss) as he can do 4000 HP of damage in one attack. Mech warrior and shadowrun for the genesis was tough too.

I remember giving up on rygar, it was too darn hard.
