Player2 takes a look back at Terry Pratchett's contribution to the gaming landscape and fondly remembers the comedic genius of Discworld
From GameWatcher: "Between 1995 and 2000, three classic point-and-click games were released based on Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels. These games are Discworld, Discworld II: Missing Presumed...!?, and Discworld Noir.
For many years, fans have eagerly requested a rerelease or remaster of the series, making it a highly coveted item on GOG's Community Wishlist. This platform is renowned for revitalising classic DOS games, ensuring they can operate on modern machines."
From Eurogamer: "Most people know Pratchett as the author of Discworld, the famous fantasy series about a flat planet balanced on the backs of four elephants. However, what many people don't know is that the knighted author was also a massive fan of video games - so much so that he actually worked on mods for Oblivion, most of which were spearheaded by a Morrowind modder named Emma."
With Dark Souls Remastered upon us, we’ve rounded up nine other video games from throughout history that are renowned for their notorious level of challenge.
Not really. Definitely not one of the most infuriatingly difficult games of all time.
Go home, dude. You're drunk. Contra was definitely hard. Play it without the Konami code or save states.
Cuphead is far less worthy of this list than Contra. It's hard, but can still be beaten in single digit days.
God forbid someone has a different opinion or maybe can handle a difficult game, right? What's wrong with some of you? If I told you I've gone through Contra with the Konami code but never lost more than 3 lives, would that make any difference to you?
Are you actually taking offense to me saying "go home, you're drunk"? Are you serious?
Fine, I'll make it palatable for your sensibilities...
I, and perhaps many others who remember how difficult classics like Contra are (and including Contra) strongly disagree with your exclusion of Contra from this list. It's arguably am objectively challenging title.
By the way, that question is likely rhetorical, but if you were to say you used the code and beat it without losing 3 lives, I'd call you a liar, of course!

Such sad news. Pratchett has been one of my favourite authors for ages.
