Tis all child's play, son.

You want a real challenge?

Doom 3 Nightmare mode without dying ONCE. I just did it today.

Re: I need some truly hard games to beat

Ghosts n' goblins, DD sacred stones and battletoads battlemaniacs are games beaten by so very very few without cheating or save states. To be able to beat them honestly automatically makes you a VG legend in my book.

If you beat doom 3 on nightmare you did it by rushing through levels that you have memorized. I used to be able to do that for doom 2 when I played it religiously and doom 2 is definitely harder than 3. So... your challenge tis mere childs play son.

EDIT: Tass, I've always said I would love more than anything to be able to play IWBTG on a snes controller, but I absolutely require one to be at full potential.

Have you tried Spelunky, btw? It's the roguelike of platformers.

Contra series? I though those games were pretty hard.

Blast Corps for N64, try getting all platinums

Yeah the original was the hardest. It's on my list.

Spelunky? Never heard of it.

I'll look into blast corps.

Currently playing ninja gaiden for nes. It is pretty challenging but it's no sacred stones.

Re: I need some truly hard games to beat

Blast Corps is an amazing game. You should play it, regardless. Yes, getting all 57 platinums is really hard, but whether or not it's in the caliber of the GnG, Battletoads, etc... probably below.

and have been off and on playing Zelda a link to the past for a world record which is barely 8 minutes away from it.

100% or no? TAS'd? Sadly for a game like lttp, 8 minutes is a long time lmao.

Try Metal Slug 4.

Getting to ganon and beating him. Yeah 8 minutes is a big chunk of time but that's because I made way too many minor mistakes that added up. My time currently stands at 1:37:51. Played again I could easily knock down 2 minutes and with a little luck a possible WR.

I'd agree, Doom 2 Nightmare is harder to 0-death, most likely... I've actually never tried it, come to think of it. I used to speedrun the Nightmare levels, though.

What makes Doom 3 so hard is the health issue.

Re: I need some truly hard games to beat

I'll do some Doom2/Doom3 Nightmare runs tonight in VC if anyone's interested in seeing how Doom was meant to be played


*This is also a challenge! Anyone care to race?

Re: I need some truly hard games to beat

you want a challenging game then try any zelda game, preferably ocarina of time that 1 did it for me, itz truly a mystery

Unless you've got Doom 2 completely memorized then that's not happening. On level 17 I believe, is where you'll use more swear words then you have in your entire life and it will be where you advance no further. Regardless I would love to race you if I could, as I'm probably the best Doom 2 player on this site, but I have no computer to do so


Stepwalker, zelda games are beaten by little kids. Hardly considered challenging when comparing to the games mentioned in this thread.

Re: I need some truly hard games to beat

I indeed have Doom 1 and Doom 2 fully memorized -- that isn't a problem ;p
