What game levels do you fear?
« on: August 06, 2012, 09:06:45 AM »
Even though I used to play through it quite often, there's something about this level of Castle of Illusion that makes my blood run cold every time I play. The sudden waterfalls and knowing that one missed jump means plunging to your doom. It's not that hard, but this level just makes me very nervous.

I always choke when I get to the last boss:



Wolfenball 3D

I'd break the HuCARD in half if it wasn't so valuable.

When beaglepuss revisits the forums, I might consider trading him my Wolfenball 3D prototype for his Marble Madness prototype.

The level in Valis 3 where you have to freeze the enemies to make it across.  Maybe it's easy for some, but that level ....... ](*,) ](*,) ](*,) ](*,)

I'm surprised no one hasn't just posted "the entire f*cking game of Ninja Gaiden II" and been done with it.

Ninja Gaiden II has a pretty balanced difficulty. 1, on the other hand, is really brutal at the end with some near impossible platforming, complete with the oh so lovely "bird knocks you into bottomless pit" combined with "losing at the boss kicks you back 3 stages."

I've been playing Ninja Gaiden 3 (japanese difficulty) and it's been kicking my ass as well, but I am totally unfamiliar with it. It's much harder than 2 but (so far) easier than 1.

My vote goes to that level of Castlevania where Death is the boss. There's a trick to it, if I can get and keep the holy water (the game gives you one at the start of the level) then I can get past the last part pretty easily. Holy water makes the Medusa heads, the axe knights, and even Death pretty easy. But if I don't make it to the end with the water...holy balls, it's either play perfectly or die horribly.

Ninja gaiden II did not kick my ass nearly as bad as NG1. I could burn my way through the game right up until the level you have to dodge crows while grabbing the cliffs. come to think of it, every platformer that required split second timing usually kicked my ass. Castlevania 1 and 3 were brutal. Makes me wonder how i ever finished Dracula X.

-The Castle in Legendary Axe
-Sandcrawler in Super Star Wars
-Final Level of Blazing Lazers, it's not that hard, but for the first year in a half I had the game this was where I hit the wall. I still shit a brick every time I get to it.
