Ghost 'n Goblins a well known classic, you're a King trying to defeat evil ... and it's incredibly hard to beat. I got as far as the forest and that isn't far at all. As my friend wielded his sword he took on evil denizens of bats, trolls with heart tattoos and platforming pain. This game is tough , but does have it's own style of weird monsters to defeat. See if you can beat it!
*Reminded me that Capcom kind of gave up on Maximo.
*Shoot your spear 15 times into a headstone while crouching and get turned into a frog, no joke.
Gun Smoke is a vertical shooter, but set in the old west. Incredibly hard, but with some fun power-ups including boots and a horse. Get a horse and you can take some extra hits, no horse and you're a dead man walking. It also felt cramped for a shooter, but I guess it's suppose to.
Section Z let's you shoot lasers, while wearing a jet pack. Yes, that does sound ideal for most, but you are being fired upon at many different angles, by all sort of Japanese designed bio-monsters. If you can make it so far you have to dodge pinballs in a special section. The design of the game had a little bar graph on your progress for each section you passed through. A cute little in game map reference of how much farther one must go. Add this title to the list of hard to not die in a few seconds games.
