Though they're somewhat old-fashioned now, pre-rendered backgrounds once dominated the gaming world, and there's good reason why.
From rage quits to broken buttons, these games tested our skills and our will to live. These are the most difficult games.
Unless we're talking loops 3+, contra does not belong on this list. Loop one I've done without losing a life.
And yes I am extremely biased as contra, super C and Contra 3: the alien wars are three of my favorite games.
Add punch out, Fester's Quest, Blaster Master, Solomon's key, and adventure island.
I cannot beat battletoads, Solomon's key or adventure island even with emulators and save states.
For those times when you’d rather watch than play — these games are as binge-worthy as your favourite Netflix series.
It’s time game developers stop ignoring one of the most beloved features in gaming history: split-screen couch co-op. I miss it!
It's a shame to me that so few indie devs seem interested in catering to this era (split screen era) of nostalgic gaming. Many of them are interested in retro gaming, obviously, but almost all of them seem to drift either to platformers or Metroidvanias (no issue with either, there have just been so many). I'd love to see an indie dev really try to capture that late N64/PS1 through early Xbox/PS2/GameCube era of split screen gaming.
Shout out to primal rage...even if the console version kinda sucked
I recognized that picture in an instant! Its from FFIX; its that gate under the mist near the chocobo forest where you get moccha coffee! Aaaahhh.... the good old days of classic FF. :3 I wish they make FFXVI in a medieval setting with knights, rogues, princesses and some comedy. They are becoming a little too modern and serious with their mainline FF games.
