The hardest game of all time

Kairo

The Never Ending Story..on the amiga. It just wouldnt end...literally! Bollox if I could ever get past that tower climbing level.

Jet Set Willy - Is that bug serious? I actually thought my dad finished it along with Manic Miner. Maybe the c64 version didnt have the bug. Bugger hard game all the same

This actually came up in coverstation between friends and I, recently. But our unanimous decision was that a game called Ripper was probably the hardest game we had played.

The game dates back to 1996 for the PC, and came on 6 CDs. To guess there was a lot of FMV sequences in this game, you would be correct, as no game logic needs that much storage. It was a point & click type adventure, which I could only describe as Myst, with movement transitions between each still. Also (the hollywood actor) Christopher Walken played a role in the game.

The entire game wasn't difficult but there were a few puzzles that were near impossible, and I can't actually remember any of us getting past a particular bit that involved aligning different coloured crystals in a 2D board. We obtained hints in the game as to what we had to do, but even they didn't point towards a logical explanation. In the end we exhausted our patience, and used a walkthru to pass that particular section. After that one of my mates finished the game, and we were all happy. The end sequence was rather good, and the tune "Don't fear the reaper" - Blue Oyster Cult, featured in the game.

You've got to be joking about the last boss in FF8. First time I played I beat him in less than 15 minutes. Maybe it was because I named him Fluffy by accident.

Maximum respect to earthhorse how beat r-type 3 a feat I never accomplished.

Why thank you. I'm trying to repeat the feat on snes9x recently but the graphics go funny on level 2 and I haven't the enthusiasm for games I used to.

A tough game alright but by no means impossible.

Sounds like you have a case against the makers of Impossible Mission for false advertising. Now state and federal law forbid me from promising you a big cash settlement but just between you and me I promise you a big cash settlement.

I never finished Tie Fighter. I got stuck on the bit when you have to defend the emperor in his shuttle from annoyingly fast a-wings. The stupid twat kept driving straight into trouble and getting totalled on ion cannons.

I can't remember exactly but the first one i come to think of would be The Last Ninja on C64, granted i was a young sprout at the time but i have tried the game later in my life and man it is tricky with those controlls
