SHOW ME HARD GAMES

if you can grab final fantasy 4 nintendods version. its one of the most retarded games ive ever seen. Programmers were smoking weed or something when they ported the game because IA is really hardcore. Sometimes you die before even being able to do anything.

I know it isnt indie or steam related but man, its one of the few games ive played in my life that I was really close to smashing it to the ground. I could make a big list of broken and illogical things of that game. Funny thing is that those are only on the ds version, not the original one

Jamestown and more so the 3 Gundemonium collection games on the hardest modes are brutal, brutal, shooters ok. i search for hard games because i like a crazy challenge so i can vouch for super meat boy as well, that game is a super hard platformer.

Just imagine you get imprisoned by some maniac. The only way you could achieve your freedom is to overcome his challenge: Pass all levels in Super Meat Boy, plus, unlock everything on the way.

Btw, he also gives you 7 days before he turns you into a dckless headless dude so as to expand his collection of perfectly fine dckheads. Well, at least you have your fun.

Hah, just kidding, mate. But seriously, SMB made me smash the sht out of my keyboard and scream like a psychopath. Don't forget to share the frustration - I mean fun - with your buddies.

Horrid Henry
